Frozen Olaf – Ice cream shop

Since January 2015, Elsa and Anna – originally from Arendelle – established a new ice cream shop in Hobart, they named it “Frozen Olaf”. They specialised in making gourmet ice cream with a unique combination, such as:

-       Very Vanilla

This ice cream flavour is a thirst quencher during summer and the creamiest ice cream produced with secret custard recipe. It has refreshing scent and loved by kids and adults.

-       Batman Chocolate

Just like the name, this dark chocolate ice cream offers quality ice cream with only 30% fat of normal chocolate ice cream. The cocoa bean is sourced from North Sumatran forest in Indonesia.

-       Almond Hazelnut

This nutty flavoured ice cream is a combination of high quality almond and hazelnut imported from Turkey and goat milk from Farmers in Invermay.

-       Egg Bacon

Inspired by the famous chef Heston Blumenthal, this unique and unusual combination ice cream is the only one produced in Australia. Try this flavour if you are dare.

-       Scotch Lavender

This ice cream uses only the best of Tasmanian produced. Awards winning Sullivan’s cove single malt whisky and freshly harvested lavender from north east Tasmania. This ice cream contains 3% alcohol contents.

One month ago, Elsa and Anna attended a seminar about Accounting Information and Analysis. They hired you as a consultant to analyse and provide a report on Frozen Olaf data. They want to know to how to grow their revenue and profit streams. Their data is hosted in a cloud and you remember that in Week 5 for BFA501, you explored Toad for MySQL.
