Coffee Shop Compete is a sophisticated web-based business simulation which allows teams to develop key management skills in  business acumen , strategy , communications and teamwork .

Business simulations are delighted to make Compete freely available to voluntary sector organisations for staff development and team-building purposes .

Compete supports up to 6 teams and can be configured to represent any type of business and set of decisions for the players to make each round. 

Compete accommodates 2-4 teams each of 5-10 players with each team representing a coffee stall in an artisan food market competing over 4 trading days played over a single 2-hour period (or multiple shorter sessions).

  1. Pricing
  2. Strategy
  3. Management priorities
  4. Collaboration investment

Each teams’ decisions are entered into the simulation which instantly calculates customer market share, revenue and profits for each round. The teams are in direct competition so if one team gains market share it must be at the expense of the other teams.

Compete can be fully played and debriefed in just 2 hours and requires just a single computer connected to the internet which is normally projected on a large screen. There are zero software downloads and no other equipment required.
