Your company, which specializes in hot and cold drinks, sit-in cafe style, is looking to open a satellite store in your local neighborhood (or close by). Management has asked you to survey the land and find out about the competition in your area.

Select a company in the cafe industry (coffee, tea, etc) within the last 5 years, and provide a link to the company's Web site.

Determine the following about that company:

-What are the company's top risks, and what is management doing about it?

-What size of operating or cash loss has management and the board agreed to be tolerable?

-Suggest at least three alternatives to managing the company's risk.
