The strategy chosen is to set the prices lower than the average for the area. The price range is wide, 95% of the products are priced from 2 to 10 euros although there are lower prices like water or higher prices like garlic shrimp. The prices are usually psychological wrecks such as 4,95 , to facilitate the cash flow no discounts are allowed. 10

Marketing plan of PLACE Quin Café is a company that at the moment only has one sales channel, which is the physical sale in the premises located in Carrer Ample. It is a B2C company where the owner offers her products to the customers who come to the place. The products are bought from suppliers and then processed and sold to the final consumer. In this distribution channel, the manufacturer makes the food and the suppliers are responsible for passing it on to the retailers, in this case Quin Café which, after preparing it or not (like the drinks) sells it to the final consumer.

Despite this, this business does not have a website but, it has a fan page on Facebook where customers show their experiences there and say what they think of it. It also collaborates with the football club “Les Alqueries FC”. Figure 6.

In order to analyses the impact of these factors on the company, we will carry out a PESTEL analysis and later on the competitive environment. These analyses, will be useful for market and consumer analysis. 2.2.1 Analysis of the general environment (PESTEL analysis) 2.2.1.1 Political and legal factors. This section will analyze the policies or legislation that affect the company. The regulations are usually of an autonomous nature, and in the absence of such regulations, the state regulations will apply. The state regulation is the Order of 17/03/1965 approving the Tourist Ordinance of Restaurants, Ministry of Information and Tourism. In this, are defined the restaurants and create exclusions. Powers are regulated (which have been replaced by the Devolved Regions) and the categories and their requirements. It also orders the preparation of letters and menus. 12

Marketing plan of The regional regulations, Decree 7/2009, which came into force in January 2009, regulates catering establishments in the Valencia Region. The following are established administrative and technical requirements to be met by the installations. Its objectives are to consolidate traditional destinations and promote dynamic development in order to maintain the competitiveness and stability of the tourism sector. The anti-smoking law 2011 came into force in 2011 and smoking is prohibited in accordance with art.7 "u) Closed bars, restaurants and other catering establishments". According to BOE, therefore, smoking is only allowed on terraces. According to article 11 of the VAT law, the provision of services is subject to VAT, specifically "9º. Hotel, restaurant or campsite services and sales of beverages or food for immediate consumption in the same place", according to the BOE, with a 10% tax rate. 2.2.1.2 Economic factors After the economic crisis that Spain has suffered in recent years, there are now signs of recovery. This crisis has been significant as many stores have closed and family spending on hospitality has been reduced. In the following graph you can see how the number of bars and restaurants in the Valencian Community and in Spain has grown. Table 7. Number of premises in the Valencian Community and Spain Year 2011 Valencian Community 125.026 Spain 1.228.390 2012 123.059 1.216.197 2013 123.389 1.212.040 2014 125.144 1.225.520 2015 125.410 1.258.662 Source: own elaboration. Data: INE. Of these 125,410 premises for the hotel and catering industry in the VC in 2015, 30,459 were used for food and beverage services. That is to say, 24% of hotel and catering premises are covered by bars, restaurants or cafés. 13

Marketing plan of According to the volume of business, this data is obtained. A 6.90% of the turnover in 2015 in Spain belongs to the services sector of the Valencian Community and specifically of this 6.90% 4,298,512 thousand euros correspond to the food and beverage service of the Valencian Community. Therefore, it should be noted that after the rental activities that contributed 10.4% to Spanish turnover in 2015, food and beverage services contributed 10.2%. This is an important sector for the economy of our country. Table 8. Volume of business in the services sector in thousands of . Year C.

Data: INE Another important aspect to analyze is the average expenditure per household. According to the publication "Household Budget Survey 2016" published on 27th June 2017 the average expenditure per household in 2016 was 28,200 , a 2.6% more than the previous year. The average expenditure per person was 11,312 . Table 9.

Therefore, the hotel and catering industry is a key aspect for the volume of business of Spain and more and more Spaniards are devoting their expenditure to this service. Despite the deep crisis that has hit our country it begins to see signs of recovery. 2.2.1.3 Social factors This factor is very interesting for the analysis that we are going to do in the Spanish population according to sex and age, occupation level, as well as the level of education to be able to relate it to the hotel and catering industry and that will have relevance in the consumer's behavior. Demographic data are constantly changing, according to data as of 1 January 2017, there were 22,832,861 men and 23,739,271 women. Table 11.

Data: INE. As it can be seen in the graph there are more people between 36-45 years of age, is within a range of middle age, this characteristic is due to the decrease in the birth rate in Spain. More and more families have only one or no children (as there are homosexual couples and they have difficulties in having descendants). We will also divide the Spanish population according to occupation: Active, employed, unemployed and inactive. In the last quarter of 2017, there were 22,765 active persons, of whom 18,998.4 were employed and 3,766.7 were unemployed (in absolute and total terms, regardless of age or sex) and 15,951.6 were inactive. The following tables show the evolution of the assets that have recovered during 2017 after the fall in 2016. Busy people are growing up noticing the summer peaks that are when recruitment is on the rise. Unemployed persons are declining year on year, and inactive persons are growing considerably despite the slight decline that occurred in the second and third quarters of 2017. 16

Therefore, it would be interesting to analyze the level of education in Spain. In the following graph, we can see how the level of education in the adult population has evolved between 1992 and 2016, according to data from MECD (Ministry of Education and Culture). Graph 6. Evolution of the level of education of the adult population Evolution of the level of educaticon of the adult population 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Source: own elaboration. Data: MECD It is divided into three groups: Stage 1: those who have secondary education or less. (Dark green) 18

Marketing plan of Stage 2: those with secondary education Stage 3: higher education. (Light green) As shown in the graph, 58.3% of the population has completed compulsory education, increasing to 65.3%. Persons with compulsory secondary education or lower have decreased from 76% in 1992 to 41.7% in 2016 and the 2nd and 3rd stages have increased from 11.3% to 22.6% for the second stage and from 12.8% to 35.7% for the third stage. Therefore, it can be seen how the level of education in the adult population (25-64 years old) has increased and the percentage of people with little or no education has decreased year after year. These data are not so good, if we compare them with the European Union in the following graph. Graph 7. Percentage of population having reached at least the EU 2016 second stage level. 25-64 years 95 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 92 90 97 95 Czech republic 93 94 96 95 88 Slovak Republic 92 93 94 92 86 Poland 91 89 89 95 92 Latvian 91 94 93 91 85 Estonian 89 87 88 95 91 Finland 88 90 91 90 80 Slovenia 87 87 86 87 86 Germany 87 94 91 85 77 Sweden 85 90 87 84 77 Austria 85 88 87 86 76 Hungary 83 95 88 80 72 Croatia 83 86 87 82 78 Bulgaria 82 82 84 83 78 Denmark 81 84 85 81 72 Ireland 80 91 86 76 62 Cyprus 80 85 83 77 73 UK 80 88 82 77 60 Luxembourg 78 87 84 75 65 France 78 83 80 75 68 Netherlands 77 86 82 75 65 UE (28) 77 85 80 70 68 Romania 77 76 77 81 65 Lithuania 19

Data: MECD In the EU countries in 2016, 77% of the adult population had the level of second stage education and Spain was 19 points below this average, but it must be borne in mind that Spain has reduced the distance between the Spanish population of 55 to 64 points from the European average to 14 points for the population aged 35 to 44. In conclusion, it is estimated that the ageing of the population will increase and therefore the number of inactive people is increasing, while the number of employed people is increasing and the number of unemployed is decreasing, perhaps due to the increase in the number of adults in the workforce, which is improving every year with higher levels of education and university studies. 2.2.1.4 Technological factors R&D expenditure in Spain has been falling for the last years, as shown in the following graph. Although in Spain spending is low, globalization has made technologies reach anywhere and therefore new technological methods have influenced our society and the Spanish hospitality industry. 20
