Starbaker's Chain

Starbaker Nilai

Starbaker INTI

STARBAKER Cafeteria business was initially managed and operated by Polar Avenue Sdn. Bhd. for a few years before it was taken over by Holistic Touch Sdn. Bhd. officially on May 1, 2007. The concept of Starbaker was first set out by the Director of Polar Avenue and the business was operated at Nilai International College. The business did not flourish as the strategic directions were not fully implemented and controlled until Holistic Touch took over the helmsmanship, rebuilds its identity and install an orderly operating system to the business.

Holistic Touch Sdn.Bhd. was established in May 13, 2005 to managed holistic concepts in education related to allied health science and holistic health practice from IHTI. The Starbaker at Nilai International College was very conducive to holistic realization of holistic health ideals being itself situated in a resort-like college where the greens and concretes strike a harmonious balance, hence leading to the essence interest of the directors to takeover the business operations.

Prior to takeover, its sales has fallen to about RM600.00 per day but after a month of takeover, its sale rises to a staggering RM2,500 per day, and to the amazement of general projection. However, business shows signs of minor decline due to decreasing enrolment and change in consumer behavior of the new students.
