Idea Napkin No. 1

1. I've worked before on a team to draw a business plan, and though the business never actually became a reality (because it was for a class assignment),, I have experience in thinking through all the details of starting experience. Growing up with both my parents having diabetes, I have experience in how dietary restrictions can affect people's day-to-day lives and ideas to help improve these. I see the business as a place for people to come and not have to worry about what's in their food, and just to enjoy it. I want people with all dietary needs to be able to not have to constantly cook for themselves and just enjoy the company of family and friends at a meal.
2. I hope to provide a menu basically split into three parts: gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegan friendly. Each third of the menu will generally have the same foods (such as banana bread, red-velvet cupcakes, chocolate chips cookies, etc.), but each food will be prepared differently to satisfy the different dietary needs.
3. My focus for potential customers are people with diabetes, gluten allergies, or vegan lifestyles. All my customers will have the caring and understanding for what goes into their food and the quality of their food, even those who don't have any of these dietary restrictions will hopefully eat at my bakery because of their passion for clean, healthy and natural eating.
4. Customers will enjoy this bakery as not a single friend of theres can miss out. Every time someone just wants to go grab a quick snack, such as pumpkin bread, and asks a friend to join, no longer will their friend have to miss out on outings due to their dietary restrictions.
5. What's different about my bakery is two things: one, my bakery will have a wider variety than most shops close to the UF campus as there is no true bakery in the UF area. Two, my shop will include products following all dietary restrictions, rather than focusing on one, this way no matter which friend has which dietary restriction, everyone can still join in out eating out.

I believe all of these five traits do come together perfectly so be a successful business venture, however my only worry would be number five. I do think that my business is unique, but I am not sure if it is different enough to compete strongly with other similar shops. I also think that this uniqueness only holds true in the UF area, as if you go to other cities, especially those bigger than Gainesville, there may a place like this already in existence, possibly even a few.
