«Josh is 27, he works in one of the valley’s companies
because he loves technology and innovation. He works in the
office until 11p.m every day. He is not satisfied with the food at
the cafeterias because of the bad quality/price and because
of the food taste. However, he has no other options»
Introduction to Sous-vide
“Sous-vide is a method of cooking in which food is sealed in
airtight plastic bags then placed in a water bath. The intent is to
cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked
without overcooking the outside, and retain moisture”
Why should you use sous-vide?
★ It is convenient: it is very
easy-to use and saves time
when re-heating!
★ The food remains tasty!
★ It preserves the quality!

Map axis rationales:
Regarding food, two
variables distinguished
themselves as being the
most relevant in
food/eating decision
making:
● Convenience (time
& accessibility)
● Quality
Price was not taken into
account because our
products will be priced
as the average range of
cafeterias and hence will
not be considered as a
differential factor in the
decision making
● 121 respondents – Europe & US based
● Average age range: 20-over 45, most are between 20-24
● Gender: 34% male, 66% female
● 62.5% have experience of working in a company that has food
options onsite (canteen, cafeteria…), of which 90% eat
regularly there mainly because of convenient location,
reasonable price and good/acceptable quality.
● 64.2% don’t know about Sous-vide
● 55% cook at home everyday. 67% eat high quality food at
least once a week or more. 41% order pre-made food at least
once per week.
● 45 % are willing to pay 8-12 euro and above for a dish cooked
with Sous-vide technique. 55% are willing to pay less than 8
euro but majority is students who chose this price range.

Focus: SV Cuisine delivers the best quality finished dishes in terms of
taste consistency, healthiness and excellence of the ingredients with the
innovative sous-vide technology. Be the first targeting individual
customers market place. Be the reference in the housing sous-vide
cooking finished dish.
Goals: Offer a range of finished dishes to be delivered to health, taste
and quality food oriented individuals in the US. Target the Silicon Valley
employees at the starting phase with aim at reaching 650,000 customers
in 5 years. Progressive segmentation will be the base for reaching the
target.
Guidelines: Use sous-vide technology to produce several types of finished
meals that are the most desired. Adapt the products used for the
restaurant market to the individual consumers. The courses have to be of
the best available quality and easy to cook. Price range has to be on the
average price of cafeterias food in the Silicon Valley.
Product innovation charter (PIC)
Market segmentation 1/2
Customer's Profile:
● Workers with medium high revenues that are food concerns.
● Not satisfied with their eating habits and would like to change them.
● Busy, have no time to cook a whole meal: cooking a pasta dish takes
apx. 20 mins without taking into account the sauce cooking.
● Have no time to shop for all the ingredients or to look up for recipes
● Research shows Americans are willing to buy sous-vide for $20
Companies in the Silicon Valley:
● Very strong competition among technology companies to outdo each
other’s extraordinary perks.
● The role of office manager has transformed into a so-called workplace
coordinator, who often leads a staff of aim-to-please specialists. Such
employees function as concierges, responsible for everything from
planning outings to memorizing favorite granola-bar flavors.
● International with many offices where sous-vide food could grow.
● Typically lead users in the latest technology and people look to them
to find the “hot new thing”.
Market segmentation 2/2
Available solutions on the current market: eating at the multiple
cafeterias available in the Silicon Valley or ordering food delivery.
The gap Demand/Supply: Customers are not satisfied with the food
served at the cafeterias in the Valley (the quality and taste are not good
and the prices are too high)
The opportunity: Serve those customers with the best quality and tasty
food by offering them a customized solution.
● Less time demanding, only 3 to 10 minutes warming time.
● Still give the cooking “manual” experience that is associated with
fresh and quality food without being so time-consuming.
● Offer a better alternative to the available cafeterias and home
delivery food services.
● Price will be in the average available range: they will be willing to
pay because of the added value offered by our ingredients and the
mix of the time saving / cooking experience-
Barriers to entry - Competition
The Main Competitor:
Bon Appetit, Paolo Alto, CA
An on-site restaurant service that caters
in many big companies.
● Chefs create their own menus with food
certified organic and with safe
practices.
● They provide responsive service; from
scratch food; and responsible sourcing
practices. Locavore Mentality. They
work a lot with companies, universities
and hospitals around the world.
● Believe in only using fresh ingredients
made from scratch, know which cooking
techniques preserve flavors and
nutrition. Their global cuisine is crafted
through hands-on trainings by chefs
who grew up eating a particular cuisine.
The flavors are vibrant and authentic.
However, comments on the
Bon Appetit cafeterias are
often very bad: There is a
gap between the “stated”
quality and the one
perceived by customers that
are not satisfied with the
quality/price ratio and taste.
Market penetration timeline & strategy 1/5
Year 1: Introduce the finished sous-vide meals in the market
● Target: Employees at main Silicon Valley companies with cafeterias
● How? By contacting the companies and offer free trials machines
where the employees can experience our foods (the company will
buy only the meals). If the companies are employing a catering
agency: we will contact the agency to make a deal for a “sous-vide”
menu. Our main target: Bon Appetit
● Opportunity:
- For the company: Make the employees feels comfortable because
higher productivity rate is associated with healthy tasted food and
employees’ happiness. Increase cafeteria’s/company’s reputation
- For us: Test the product in a relatively close and low risk
environment. Adapt offering to what is popular by using forum
comments and ratings, surveys, observations and company’s
feedbacks.
Market penetration timeline & strategy 2/5
Year 1: (continue)
● Possible results: Develop a strong product offering to make the
customers become “addicted” to sous-vide cooking so that they
order the food from year 2-5
● WOM: There is a high participation on social media from the Valley’s
employees. The popularity of the products will spread rapidly, people
from other companies will be willing to try the food in the targeted
cafeterias and experience the product. This will lower our marketing
costs and prepare the customer base for the second year.
● Barriers to entry: the “Bon Appetit” cafeterias might be reluctant to
use our sous-vide machine since their brand proposition is “food from
farmers” and might already have constraint agreements with
producers.
Year 2: Develop the use in the other companies companies and at home
● Target: More companies with cafeterias and expand to other
companies without cafeterias sponsored by the company and end-
users individuals
● How? Through events, WOM from employees of year 1, machines
available on the website and specialized shops. We will offer the
machine to the companies for their “halls”.
● Opportunity:
- Companies without cafeterias: Employee orders or buy meal online
and gets office delivery (no involvement for the company because
of no costs, machine is offered).
- End-users: Continue the experience and benefit from the sous-vide
advantages at home. They have the money and the sensitive
palettes.
Market penetration timeline & strategy 3/5
Year 2: (continue)
● Distribution: Specialized shops (with possibility to buy the
machine); Online selling: website with option to also buy our
machines with the same model as coffee sellers (Lavazza…)
● Moving on to small companies: These companies tend to have
longer working hours than other companies.
- Easier for them to have a sous-vide machine in the offices
because people are there longer, we can deliver the meals to
their doorstep, they can continue working while their meal is
cooking and then stop for a small break to eat.
- May not have a cafeteria to choose from so they already
have habit of ordering out.
Market penetration timeline & strategy 4/5
Year 3:
● Opening of our first store/with a “tasting” department
● Getting the word of mouth out by trying to sponsor blogs, utilize
pinterest and magazines and reach out to the Food Network or
other cooking shows to show the benefits of sous-vide
Years 4-5:
● Expansion in other areas of the valley
● Attempt to gather more customers around the edges and those
who may not work for Tech but have money and work around
people who work at these tech companies
Market penetration timeline & strategy 5/5
Rogers Attributes that speed adoption
● Relative Advantage: Sous Vide provides a high quality tasting meal in a
very short amount of time. No competitors could have a meal that
tastes this good, this fast for a relatively cheap price. The food is
restaurant quality without having to pay for a nice restaurant or going
anywhere
● Compatibility: The potential target believes that innovation is key and
anything that allows them more time is a positive thing.
● Complexity: Since the product is very simple, all you have to do is heat
water to a certain degree, it is extremely easy to use.
● Trialability: Most of the adopters will be able to try it at work, in an
environment where someone else cooks it or they order it themselves or
work orders it for them. If they enjoy it, they can purchase it for home
● Observability: Food is brighter and more colorful as well as a much
better taste that the average warm up meal

Interview with Restaurant Mariette Paris 1/2
● 80% of French restaurants use sous-vide but
they will not admit it.
● French people do not think sous-vide is fresh,
tend to be more close minded, need to be
involved in the cooking process and associate
the sous-vide method to frozen food (in turn
associated with bad quality)
● Chefs will not tell people they use sous-vide.
● When Hippopotamus told people they used
sous-vide they lost 20% of their clients.
● Sous-vide isn’t really sold to anyone but
professionals.
● Tried selling them in France in Monoprix but
failed badly
● In US, people stated they were willing to pay
$20 for gourmet pre-made food.
● Thinks there is an avenue for this in the US.
Chef Alfredo Martin,
Mariette Restaurant
Interview with Restaurant Mariette Paris 2/2
→ Why Sous-vide?
● Taste is a lot better- the longer you cook, the more the flavors
envelop the food
● Stays fresh for up to 20 days
● Easy to use: warm-up can be done also with traditional means
(oven, maria-bath or microwave)
● Only need to reheat food in 3-10 minutes, any more then it won’t
come out that great
● People feel like they participate in the process
● Good for people who like to cook but don’t know how
● Can cook as many pre-made packages as you want at a time, just
know that different meals have different temperatures
● Sous-vide is best for white meat because people all eat their white
meat at the same done-ness
● All you need to tell the client is “This will simplify your life” and
“bring back the quality and taste you were missing”
“They served a full breakfast, as well as lunch. Breakfast had a ton of
options - always a hot bar with eggs, omelettes, pancakes/waffles, some
sort of meat, potatoes, and always vegan/vegetarian options. They had
smoked salmon, veggies, smoothies, all sorts of pastries, as well as tons
of fruit, yogurt and granola. It wasn't uncommon to have duck or
mussels for lunch. On top of all that, there were micro kitchens every
100 feet at the office - on every floor - that were filled with waters, fresh
fruit and teas, and healthy snacks. Occasionally there would be little
chocolates or bags of chex mix, but again, health was always the #1
concern”
Lisa Zimmerman, Marketing employee at Google
“Google did not cater. Food was made by Chef Tom Duffy who was
actually the USA Team Basketball chef during the 2012 Olympics so he
knows Lebron and Kobe! They had cooking demos that allowed to learn
and make your own meals! Haha it was awesome! Not to mention, I
didn't even get to hit up every restaurant on the campus! Plus, it was all
free by the way”

  • 21. Perceptual mapping and gap analysis High quality Low Quality High Convenience: time and easiness Fancy restaurant Sous Vide Frozen meals Cafeteria food Making your own food Fast food Low Convenience: time and easiness Map axis rationales: Regarding food, two variables distinguished themselves as being the most relevant in food/eating decision making: ● Convenience (time & accessibility) ● Quality Price was not taken into account because our products will be priced as the average range of cafeterias and hence will not be considered as a differential factor in the decision making

  • 28. Focus: SV Cuisine delivers the best quality finished dishes in terms of taste consistency, healthiness and excellence of the ingredients with the innovative sous-vide technology. Be the first targeting individual customers market place. Be the reference in the housing sous-vide cooking finished dish. Goals: Offer a range of finished dishes to be delivered to health, taste and quality food oriented individuals in the US. Target the Silicon Valley employees at the starting phase with aim at reaching 650,000 customers in 5 years. Progressive segmentation will be the base for reaching the target. Guidelines: Use sous-vide technology to produce several types of finished meals that are the most desired. Adapt the products used for the restaurant market to the individual consumers. The courses have to be of the best available quality and easy to cook. Price range has to be on the average price of cafeterias food in the Silicon Valley. Product innovation charter (PIC)
  • 29. Market segmentation 1/2 Customer's Profile: ● Workers with medium high revenues that are food concerns. ● Not satisfied with their eating habits and would like to change them. ● Busy, have no time to cook a whole meal: cooking a pasta dish takes apx. 20 mins without taking into account the sauce cooking. ● Have no time to shop for all the ingredients or to look up for recipes ● Research shows Americans are willing to buy sous-vide for $20 Companies in the Silicon Valley: ● Very strong competition among technology companies to outdo each other’s extraordinary perks. ● The role of office manager has transformed into a so-called workplace coordinator, who often leads a staff of aim-to-please specialists. Such employees function as concierges, responsible for everything from planning outings to memorizing favorite granola-bar flavors. ● International with many offices where sous-vide food could grow. ● Typically lead users in the latest technology and people look to them to find the “hot new thing”.
  • 30. Market segmentation 2/2 Available solutions on the current market: eating at the multiple cafeterias available in the Silicon Valley or ordering food delivery. The gap Demand/Supply: Customers are not satisfied with the food served at the cafeterias in the Valley (the quality and taste are not good and the prices are too high) The opportunity: Serve those customers with the best quality and tasty food by offering them a customized solution. ● Less time demanding, only 3 to 10 minutes warming time. ● Still give the cooking “manual” experience that is associated with fresh and quality food without being so time-consuming. ● Offer a better alternative to the available cafeterias and home delivery food services. ● Price will be in the average available range: they will be willing to pay because of the added value offered by our ingredients and the mix of the time saving / cooking experience-
  • 31. Barriers to entry - Competition The Main Competitor: Bon Appetit, Paolo Alto, CA An on-site restaurant service that caters in many big companies. ● Chefs create their own menus with food certified organic and with safe practices. ● They provide responsive service; from scratch food; and responsible sourcing practices. Locavore Mentality. They work a lot with companies, universities and hospitals around the world. ● Believe in only using fresh ingredients made from scratch, know which cooking techniques preserve flavors and nutrition. Their global cuisine is crafted through hands-on trainings by chefs who grew up eating a particular cuisine. The flavors are vibrant and authentic. However, comments on the Bon Appetit cafeterias are often very bad: There is a gap between the “stated” quality and the one perceived by customers that are not satisfied with the quality/price ratio and taste.
  • 32. Market penetration timeline & strategy 1/5 Year 1: Introduce the finished sous-vide meals in the market ● Target: Employees at main Silicon Valley companies with cafeterias ● How? By contacting the companies and offer free trials machines where the employees can experience our foods (the company will buy only the meals). If the companies are employing a catering agency: we will contact the agency to make a deal for a “sous-vide” menu. Our main target: Bon Appetit ● Opportunity: - For the company: Make the employees feels comfortable because higher productivity rate is associated with healthy tasted food and employees’ happiness. Increase cafeteria’s/company’s reputation - For us: Test the product in a relatively close and low risk environment. Adapt offering to what is popular by using forum comments and ratings, surveys, observations and company’s feedbacks.
  • 33. Market penetration timeline & strategy 2/5 Year 1: (continue) ● Possible results: Develop a strong product offering to make the customers become “addicted” to sous-vide cooking so that they order the food from year 2-5 ● WOM: There is a high participation on social media from the Valley’s employees. The popularity of the products will spread rapidly, people from other companies will be willing to try the food in the targeted cafeterias and experience the product. This will lower our marketing costs and prepare the customer base for the second year. ● Barriers to entry: the “Bon Appetit” cafeterias might be reluctant to use our sous-vide machine since their brand proposition is “food from farmers” and might already have constraint agreements with producers.
  • 34. Year 2: Develop the use in the other companies companies and at home ● Target: More companies with cafeterias and expand to other companies without cafeterias sponsored by the company and end- users individuals ● How? Through events, WOM from employees of year 1, machines available on the website and specialized shops. We will offer the machine to the companies for their “halls”. ● Opportunity: - Companies without cafeterias: Employee orders or buy meal online and gets office delivery (no involvement for the company because of no costs, machine is offered). - End-users: Continue the experience and benefit from the sous-vide advantages at home. They have the money and the sensitive palettes. Market penetration timeline & strategy 3/5
  • 35. Year 2: (continue) ● Distribution: Specialized shops (with possibility to buy the machine); Online selling: website with option to also buy our machines with the same model as coffee sellers (Lavazza…) ● Moving on to small companies: These companies tend to have longer working hours than other companies. - Easier for them to have a sous-vide machine in the offices because people are there longer, we can deliver the meals to their doorstep, they can continue working while their meal is cooking and then stop for a small break to eat. - May not have a cafeteria to choose from so they already have habit of ordering out. Market penetration timeline & strategy 4/5
  • 36. Year 3: ● Opening of our first store/with a “tasting” department ● Getting the word of mouth out by trying to sponsor blogs, utilize pinterest and magazines and reach out to the Food Network or other cooking shows to show the benefits of sous-vide Years 4-5: ● Expansion in other areas of the valley ● Attempt to gather more customers around the edges and those who may not work for Tech but have money and work around people who work at these tech companies Market penetration timeline & strategy 5/5
  • 37. Rogers Attributes that speed adoption ● Relative Advantage: Sous Vide provides a high quality tasting meal in a very short amount of time. No competitors could have a meal that tastes this good, this fast for a relatively cheap price. The food is restaurant quality without having to pay for a nice restaurant or going anywhere ● Compatibility: The potential target believes that innovation is key and anything that allows them more time is a positive thing. ● Complexity: Since the product is very simple, all you have to do is heat water to a certain degree, it is extremely easy to use. ● Trialability: Most of the adopters will be able to try it at work, in an environment where someone else cooks it or they order it themselves or work orders it for them. If they enjoy it, they can purchase it for home ● Observability: Food is brighter and more colorful as well as a much better taste that the average warm up meal
  • 38. Marketing tactics Year 1: ● Make product accessible in companies ● Inform employees about sous-vide and have demonstrations ● Free napkins with name on them ● Celebrity endorsement Year 2: ● Reach out to more companies ● Give them a menu to order from ● Join professional associations & meet smaller businesses ● Cheaper machines if promised more business ● Speak about how larger companies eat sous vide Year 3- 5: ● Social networking ● Making our name known in stores and online ● Offering discounts through businesses
  • 39. ATAR assumptions for financial evaluation Awareness ● Open work environment creates high visibility ● WOM and other marketing communications Operationalization with application target markets Trial ● Lunch offering for employees at corporate canteens: more repeats, more trials ● Demonstrations and trial opportunities open frequently Availability ● Direct selling at corporate canteens (high coverage) ● Specialized stores/ boutiques closed to resident areas ● Online ordering and delivery Repeat ● Organically generated thanks to premium product, restaurant quality food & high satisfaction ● Loyalty and discount programs with member cards
  • 40. Pricing strategy Cost-based Benchmark Medium restaurant Fancy restaurant 2-4 5-10 8-15 12-30 Questionnaire & Research Fast food/ Cafeteria food Frozen food ● 45% are willing to buy sous-vide food at 8-12 euros and above ● Research shows Americans are willing to buy sous-vide for $20 Our recommended price: 9-14 euro Product offering First course Second course Pricing 9 14 Cost 4 8
  • 41. Interview with Restaurant Mariette Paris 1/2 ● 80% of French restaurants use sous-vide but they will not admit it. ● French people do not think sous-vide is fresh, tend to be more close minded, need to be involved in the cooking process and associate the sous-vide method to frozen food (in turn associated with bad quality) ● Chefs will not tell people they use sous-vide. ● When Hippopotamus told people they used sous-vide they lost 20% of their clients. ● Sous-vide isn’t really sold to anyone but professionals. ● Tried selling them in France in Monoprix but failed badly ● In US, people stated they were willing to pay $20 for gourmet pre-made food. ● Thinks there is an avenue for this in the US. Chef Alfredo Martin, Mariette Restaurant
  • 42. Interview with Restaurant Mariette Paris 2/2 → Why Sous-vide? ● Taste is a lot better- the longer you cook, the more the flavors envelop the food ● Stays fresh for up to 20 days ● Easy to use: warm-up can be done also with traditional means (oven, maria-bath or microwave) ● Only need to reheat food in 3-10 minutes, any more then it won’t come out that great ● People feel like they participate in the process ● Good for people who like to cook but don’t know how ● Can cook as many pre-made packages as you want at a time, just know that different meals have different temperatures ● Sous-vide is best for white meat because people all eat their white meat at the same done-ness ● All you need to tell the client is “This will simplify your life” and “bring back the quality and taste you were missing”
  • 43. “They served a full breakfast, as well as lunch. Breakfast had a ton of options - always a hot bar with eggs, omelettes, pancakes/waffles, some sort of meat, potatoes, and always vegan/vegetarian options. They had smoked salmon, veggies, smoothies, all sorts of pastries, as well as tons of fruit, yogurt and granola. It wasn't uncommon to have duck or mussels for lunch. On top of all that, there were micro kitchens every 100 feet at the office - on every floor - that were filled with waters, fresh fruit and teas, and healthy snacks. Occasionally there would be little chocolates or bags of chex mix, but again, health was always the #1 concern” Lisa Zimmerman, Marketing employee at Google “Google did not cater. Food was made by Chef Tom Duffy who was actually the USA Team Basketball chef during the 2012 Olympics so he knows Lebron and Kobe! They had cooking demos that allowed to learn and make your own meals! Haha it was awesome! Not to mention, I didn't even get to hit up every restaurant on the campus! Plus, it was all free by the way” Zach Roberts, Google Intern Interviews with Google employee & intern
