Starbucks was a threat for CCD in the premium segment as Starbucks with their off whites and rustic brown signature provided the ambience of authentic European coffee houses, and provided them a international standard and prestige value.

Until and unless Starbucks plans to cut down their prices there was a less amount of threat to CCD 's revenue but if they cut down their prices it would be great threat as CCD enjoys the pricing gap among all its competitors, because of the cost advantage .
Strengths of CCD:
• CCD greatest strength was low attrition rate of employees as they had their own residential hospitality college to train employees which costs around $900 per employee in training of cafe operations and English speaking classes.
• They used to produce their own coffee machines which cost them around 2000$ if compared to market importing would cost
