 PROJECT SCOPE

Expansion of Product Range:

 Diversification: In the future, an online cake shop could
expand its offerings beyond cakes, including pastries,
cupcakes, cookies, and other bakery products. Additionally,
seasonal and customized items could attract different
customer segments.

 Health-conscious Alternatives: The growing trend

for healthier eating can lead to the introduction of sugar-
free, gluten-free, vegan, and low-calorie cakes. This will
appeal to a broader, health-conscious audience.

Personalization and Customization:

 Personalized Cakes: As technology advances, consumers
will expect more customization options. Features like custom
cake designs, edible photo printing, personalized messages, and
theme-based cakes could become standard offerings.

 AI-Powered Customization: Advanced AI tools can offer

cake customization based on past orders, dietary preferences, or
special occasions, further enhancing user experience.

Improved Delivery Mechanisms:

 Same-day Delivery & Express Delivery: To meet the
demands of last-minute cake orders, faster delivery systems
could be implemented, including same-day or express delivery
options.
Sustainability Initiatives:
 Eco-friendly Packaging: With increasing environmental
awareness, providing biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable
packaging could give the business a competitive edge.

 Local Sourcing of Ingredients: An emphasis on local and

organic ingredients could align the online cake shop with
sustainable practices and appeal to environmentally conscious
consumers.
Global Expansion:

 International Delivery: The shop could consider

international expansion, allowing customers from different
parts of the world to order cakes, especially for international
occasions, by leveraging global courier partnerships.

 Localization and Language Support: The website could

be localized in multiple languages to cater to a wider audience,
ensuring ease of use for customers from different regions.
