I HOPE THAT THIS MONTH IS VERY FUN WITH SOME CRAZY STUDENT, TWO MONTHS AGO I SEND YOU SOME IDEAS ABOUT HOW OPEN NEW BUSSINES IN CUSCO.NOW I HAVE ANOTHER IDEAS BUT SMALL THAT CAN HELP YOU

I THINK THAT AN AGENCY IS A GOOD BUSSINES.
THE NAME OF THE AGENCY TO BE ORIGINAL OF CUSCO FOR EXAMPLE
“ROUTES OF THE SUN” OR “RUTAS DEL SOL” IF IS IN QUECHUA LANGUAGE IS BETTER.
SECOND: LOCATION IT IS IMPORTANT TOO,AROUND THE PLAZA DE ARMAS IS EXCELENT FOR ME BECOUSE MANY TOURIST WALKING AROUND.

Hi teacher ward.
If we decide to open a new coffeeshop, this have to be on the main square, I thinks that the name could be in quechua por example”sumaq miski” well is one idea. This place must be nice, confortable, friendly and cheaper, where all can go such as a local people as foreing peolpe and interchange ideas and customs. the local must be light and big where there is fine music, and the employees must be trustworthy and has charisma, I think than should wear a funny uniforms and confortable.

we should offer a good food, fast food, drinks, coffee, all kind of cake after that we go to sunat for register our local and get a RUC and get a Hability in the municipality.

about marketing plan, i think tha we could give informations through of the radio, internet, flyers, and full-page ads also we could make some agreements with other business
I hope tha my idea help you. thanks teacher good luck! Mirtita

Hello teacher..
I don’t have many things to say, but.. I really need the extra points.
To start a business like a restaurant you need a name of course, it may be.. MAMA VICKY, it always works, also you can choose a good place, near to the main square perhaps or in the downtown, you have to decorate it with ethnic things, the chairs or the tables can be of wood or something like that, of course you have to have a good cheff, and a nice service staff.. well teacher that all I can tell you.. because our class is going to begin, and i want to be on time!!

HELLO Teacher, i hope that i can help you, well about you}r business I think that you choise a good name an original too (like Accchita coffe jjee; well is one idea) but i think the name of the business not is the important, the point is the people or what kind of custumers would you like to have local people or foreign people, and other is the location, well acording this you must to decorate the place of business.
for end left me give you a profesional suggestion, well make sure to do a market investigacion about the products or servicies that you want give; before to star you own business.just try my friend and good luck

Thanks for the comment “el kibitzer”. I like your idea, all the trendy special coffees aren’t my thing either. Just give me a good cup of real Peruvian coffee, hot and strong!

Ward — This is an excellent real-life project for your students. Peruvian coffee is superior to that of McDonald’s, and a Peruvian coffee shop deserves to be on the Plaza de Armas (unlike Starbucks, which is an American conglomerate). I believe your students should highlight those points in their project — they are selling points, IMO.

Hello, teacher Ward this is luzvenia
Ithink open a business in Cusco is a good idea because Cusco is a tourist city.For me the coofee shop must have
a original name ,for example SUMAQ LLAQTA or MISKI
WASI.
The place could be in Urubamba because is a good place
to spend your time and to relax.
In my opinon the uniform must be traditional and formal,
is important that the employees have a good treatment to the customers because in there is success,also offer differents kinds of food,drink.
All depend of your determination,
everthing is gonna be good.
I hope to could help you
bye
see you soon

hello teacher WARD

I like to recoment my accountant, because he is very professional and knows alot about the bussines, his name is Victor Orellana and work in front of the SUNAT. If you like to start your bussines you need a documents and register your coffee shop on SUNAT, it is important.

I have some ideas for the name: for example “MISKY” or “CUSCOFFEE”

I think that you will have a very nice coffee shop and they will be famous

good bye teacher and take care
