Words to our Customers
We Tokachi Café create “Ba” where the
authentic uniqueness of the people, food and
scenery in the region manifests into a localized
experience to continue providing inspirational
experiences and ambiance through our core
values such as “perfection”, “honesty”
“hospitality” and “relationship” with five senses.
Tokachi Cafe Mission – Words for our Customers
14. The concentration of wealth, human resource and knowledge in urban cities is
getting more intense everywhere around the world. This phenomena bring about the
depopulation of regions and loss of their unique values.
Tokachi exists as a region that supports nature and agriculture living together. We tell
the world while building the “Tokachi model” which utilizes available resources in the
region.
The new model is created by Tokachi people which focus on the richness of people’s
lives tomorrow with the vision like this everyone will benefit from a successful
business growth.
Like 130 years ago pioneers developed the area of Tokachi independently from the
government. We accomplish Tokachi Café with people’s dream and hope. By
succeeding this business, the new role model will be built up that can be shared
between Japan and the world. We believe this experience will change people’s
values and create a better future.

(Repeater)
Although menu has to attract new customers to come there in the first place,
“social part” of Community Café is certainly the differentiating factor.
In order to attract customers, four aspects (menu,
atmosphere/interior, entertainment and personnel) of the café are
thought of creatively, but the concept of “Ba” was expressed most
in a way that Tokachi Café Fund supports local people and its
community.

Summary of competitor analysis
No competitor has an unique competitive advantage (CA).
Competitor’s Key Success Factors (KSF) are the following:
Unmet Needs: There are very few café’s that focus on Japanese tea
and fusion tea.
In conclusion, there is a market for a café that focuses on
vegetable tea and fusion tea experience.

focus on health and sustainability.
42. Concept Café Model – Promotion

campaign.

articles, T.V. highlights,
magazines, etc.
Coordinated effort to
encourage sharing via
social media through
engagement with active
consumers. E.g.
Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter, Yelp events, soft
opening, etc.
Media Blitz
• Newspaper: Midweek and
Honolulu Star Advertiser
• Local T.V. stations: KGMB,
KHNL, and KFVE
• Magazines: Pacific Business
News, Hawaii Business
Magazine, Honolulu Magazine
etc.
43. Concept Café Model – Promotion
Listed are several promotion ideas for the café, and we’ll focus in on two of
them.
Promotion Ideas
1. Teach agricultural techniques to local Hawaiian farmers.
2. Collaborate with locals living in Hawaii.
3. Give out an annual Tokachi Pioneer Award. Will be given out at Startup
UH or Startup Weekend Honolulu to the team that exemplifies a pioneer
spirit.
4. Have a Tokachi Queen. Partner with the Cherry Blossom Festival and
their beauty pageant.
5. Flash mob with Tokachi inspired music.
44. Concept Café Model – Promotion
These promotion ideas are explained more in-depth.
Ideas Description
Teach agricultural techniques
to Hawaiian farmers.
The farmers from Tokachi can share and teach their
agricultural techniques to Hawaiian farmers. This will
be beneficial to the local Hawaiian community, and in
return, the Hawaiian farmers can share their
knowledge with Tokachi. This will promote awareness
to the agricultural community and will be mutually
beneficial.
Collaborate with locals living
in Hawaii
Through collaboration, the café will gain a wider
audience. For example, the café can partner with
Peter Dods, the president of Easy Music Center, and
host a live music event featuring local Hawaiian music
and Tokachi music. In addition, we can use other
locals in different industries to create awareness and
buzz.

79. Food Restaurant Model – Product : Competitor
Potential competitors would be Fresh, Healthy and Natural restaurants.
80. Food Restaurant Model – Product : Competitor
Potential competitors would be Fresh, Healthy and Natural restaurants.
Competitor Summary
No Competitor has any unique competitive advantage
Competitor’s key success: able to just provide consumer need
for vegan and healthy food. However, there are limited
offerings to meet the growing trend of locally produced and
healthy organic offerings.
Un-Met Needs: There are very few healthy restaurants. Other
needs are met by Whole Foods or Healthy Grocers. Whole
Food is very profitable in Hawaii, and is already planning a
third location opening in Ward-Ala Moana area.
Thus, there is still room for a successful health-conscious
restaurant
81. Food Restaurant Model – Promotion
Promotion Plan
1) Similar to Café
2) Need for public promotion of Chef or Visionary
Paid Promotion

5% of sales in perpetuity

Media Promotion
3-Month media campaign, begin before hard open
Features in documentary, local TV, radio, and print
Arrange access to restaurant/cafe
Social Engagement
Active social media (Facebook, instagram, yelp!)
Employ “freemium” advertisement on Vivinavi, Yelp
Host or attend culture, agriculture events

• Feeling of trust
Language
• Students’ strength= can get primary information

Primary data / secondary data
Take Away – Lessons we learned from Tokachi Project
Common difficulties of conventional MoG projects are intensified further in
Tokachi project.
97. • Likely to lose our positioning, role
• Listening to professions and private things from a variety of
professionals in HAPA
Big Scale
• Few fixed conditions
• Difficulty of understanding real clients’ desire and vision
• Great change in plan or strategy by small change
Starting from scratch
• Gap of motivation between Hawaii and Japan side
• Gap of how to think
• – Think about what we can do first, not what we want to do
• Information organizing in Communication – Skype, Google drive
Global Project
Take Away – Lessons we learned from Tokachi Project
Tokachi project’s uniqueness made it even more difficult to finalize it.
