Hi — opening a café in Wakad is a smart move, but pricing and positioning will decide whether it scales or struggles. I can help you answer those questions with clean, local, decision-focused research. How I’ll approach this: Short, sharp survey design focused on disposable income, café frequency, spend per visit, and price sensitivity (no academic fluff). Primary research (200–300 respondents) using a mix of online channels (local communities, IT professionals, students) and limited on-ground sampling in Wakad if required. Clean dataset + analysis: income bands, average spend, visit frequency, preferred price points, and competitor cafés people already visit. Insight-driven report (PDF/PPT) with clear charts and, most importantly, recommendations on: Ideal price range per item / per visit Target segments to prioritize Positioning (value café vs premium vs hangout-focused) What you’ll get: Survey questionnaire Clean Excel dataset Founder-friendly insight report Clear pricing & positioning guidance you can actually use A couple of quick questions to fine-tune: Are you leaning more toward specialty coffee, budget café, or all-day hangout? Any competitors you already admire in Wakad/Hinjewadi? Do you want delivery/Swiggy-Zomato behavior included? — Deepanshu
