Task 6: “Sandwich Shop Fiasco”

You have successfully received a bank loan to open your first sandwich shop. You must

do some market research to find out whether people would use it and what sandwich

fillings or snacks they want. You must also find out whether there might be interest in a

seating area within the shop for customers to eat their sandwiches.

Task: Design a flyer with a questionnaire that could be posted to every household in the

area to find out this information.

The questionnaire should be clear and on one side of A4. There are two blank pages, one

for rough working and one for the final version.

(If you wish to create this on a computer then please print it and attach it to the booklet.)

answer eg:

How often have you bought a sandwich in the last month?

Marks will also be awarded for presentation and imaginative branding such as the name

of your sandwich shop or logo.
