CCD outlet served prime space for advertising and promotions Many of the CCD stores are incurring loses due to wrong site selection. Follows the competitor strategy. Limited target audience older generation generally doesnt like CCD because of its ambience. Quality of food-stale bread- as CCD outsource confectionery items to the local vendors, the quality of bread and snacks varies depending on the local vendor. Stability of employee is lower then other. Expensive coffee Self service for the customers which make uncomfortable guest. Quality of food- Stale breads Barista is not well known to Indian mid class population. Limited outlets all over the India.
