ABSTRACT

Banana Blast adalah sebuah usaha di bidang makanan yang

memproduksi es krim dengan bahan dasar pisang. Produk-produk Banana Blast dibuat dari bahan-bahan berkualitas, dan sebagian bahan pokoknya berasal dari luar negeri sehingga tidak diragukan lagi akan kualitas

rasanya yang enak. Usaha ini dipilih karena es krim cukup diminati oleh masyarakat dari berbagai kalangan dan usia. Hal ini juga terlihat dari banyaknya toko-toko es krim yang makin memenuhi mall, khususnya di Bandung. Ini menjadikan proyek Banana Blast sebagai salah satu peluang yang sangat besar bagi para investor untuk memperoleh keuntungan. Oleh sebab itu, proposal ini disusun untuk memberikan pengertian umum kepada para calon investor tentang konsep Banana Blast.

Untuk kelangsungan bisnis ini, dibutuhkan 5 karyawan untuk

ditempatkan sebagai kasir dan staf. Usaha ini akan bertempat di Paskal Hypersquare di Jl. Pasirkaliki no.25-27, Pusat Bisnis Terbesar di Kota Bandung. Lokasi ini strategis dan sering dilalui oleh banyak kendaraan setiap harinya sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa bisnis ini sangat menjanjikan. Untuk memulai bisnis ini, dibutuhkan dana sebesar Rp.145.320.000 dan diperkirakan akan mencapai pulang pokok dalam waktu 2 tahun. Melihat peluang dan kualitas yang dimiliki oleh Banana Blast, kami yakin usaha ini dapat maju dan berkembang di masa yang akan datang.

ICE CREAM

• Explanation:

The words Banana Blast ice cream show the identity of the

company as one that produces banana ice cream. As for the picture, it describes two things. The first is the product. On the butterfly’s head in the logo, there are a scoop of ice cream and a strawberry which means that the special product of Banana Blast is Banana Berry. The body is represented by a banana since the basic material is banana. Inside the wings there are lemon, oreo, marshmallow, and chocochip which represent the added material that is provided by Banana Blast. The second is the description of the company structure. The head represents the leader, the body represents the staffs, and the wings represent the vision. The wings represent the letters B and B which


(8)

stands for Banana Blast. The form of wings means the company will have some improvement so it will be able to fly like a butterfly. All parts of the butterfly, the head, the body, and the wings, mean that all the people in the company have to work together in order to achieve the objectives of the company.

• Slogan

The slogan used by Banana Blast is “Being happy and Healthy”. This slogan describes the products offered by Banana Blast which are healthy products because they consist of fruits and milk which are known as parts of 4 Sehat 5 Sempurna. In addition, consuming Banana Blast ice cream can make people happy because of the quality of the product and the service given by Banana Blast’ staffs.

1.4 About Banana Blast

If you go to malls in Bandung, you will see the counters that sell ice cream are getting more and more. This is because ice cream becomes more popular recently, not only in Bandung but also in the world. The fact that ice cream becomes more popular is supported by TomPel who states that in 2003 ice cream world’s production reached more than 1 million liters and consumed by billions of consumers per year (par. 1). Therefore, this is a very good opportunity to open a new ice cream shop in Bandung. This is also supported by Al Arif who states that ice cream business

opportunity is very promising. Some reasons why ice cream business is so enticing is because Indonesia has tropical climate, ice cream is loved by all circles of society, ice cream business is easy to start and run because it


(9)

does not need many employees, and the process of making ice cream is fast (par. 1).

Based on Al Arif’s statement, it will be beneficial to open a new ice cream shop. However, it is not located in a mall but in Hypersquare

because the potential market for ice cream in the location is still open. The name of the shop is Banana Blast.

The reason for choosing banana as the basic material is because banana has a lot of benefits. According to Lauren Beyenhof, banana contains potassium that can help reduce blood cholesterol and is also

recommended as a part of a dietbecause it promotes good mental health

(par. 1-2). Moreover, Dorothy Wilde mentions that “bananas are a rich source of antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin A which provide protection against many types of cancer” (par. 1). Furthermore, Flute states that eating banana can increase brain power and overcome

depression because it contains tryptophan that makes you relax, improves your mood, and generally makes you feel happier; it can help people try to give up smoking; and it also works for other illnesses such as anemia, heartburn, strokes, temperature control, etc (par. 1-12). In addition, the banana ice cream will be combined with some materials like lemon, oreo, marshmallow, strawberry, and chocochip to make the taste more tempting. Banana Blast is a stand-alone product because it does not need

another product to consume at the same time. Furthermore, it is a repeat sales product because the customers are expected to come back to the shop and consume the product. The machine and the product will be


(10)

upgraded in a certain amount of time to make the product always fresh and up to date. The newest ice cream machine is used to produce ice cream with softer contour than the others. Banana ice cream is created from noticing that sometimes people want to try a new sensation,

especially the people who live in Bandung who are known to have a high

creativity in making new products.Banana Blast provides five different

tastes like banana lemon, banana oreo, banana marshmallow, banana berry, and banana chocochip. In a single service, Banana Blast will serve one scoop of ice cream in a bowl.

The location plan is at Paskal Hypersquare B-72 near the food store. It is a strategic place because the place is easy to reach and many

customers will come to that place to have lunch or dinner. On weekends, there will also be customers from Jakarta who spend their time in

Hypersquare. The customers’ perception while consuming the ice cream is also considered. The positive perception can be they like the ice cream and find it tasty and unique. The negative one can be they are afraid to consume the product because they do not want to be fat. To deal with the negative perception, information will be delivered through advertisement that this product is easy to digest and safe for the people who are on diet. To realize this business plan, some fund is needed and the estimation is as follows:

Initial Investment 145.320.000

Cash Inflow 348.800.000


(11)

Based on the calculation, it can be predicted that in two years the business can reach the payback period. The details will be explained in Chapter 5.
