This teaching case reports the trajectory of Palatos, as a result of Flávio's entrepreneurial dream. The company's success history and its expansion became a regional reference regarding the bakery business: its three units receive thousands of customers daily. But, when we face the company’s future, dilemmas are imposed concerning its delivery operation. The possible operations expansion via investment in a dark kitchen is a reality, and Flávio must consider between increasing his installed capacity, with consequent extension of his scope of action, and the need for high investments. Another existing dilemma is related to Palatos' strategic positioning regarding order acquisition channels: should the firm prioritize marketplaces, betting on gains in efficiency and control, instead of greater proximity to the customer provided by humanized online service? The information was gathered from private documents, interviews and secondary market data. The case contributes by encouraging reflections on current topics relevant to the away-from-home food sector, applicable also to other sectors and organizational types. It aims to discuss the opportunities and challenges faced by the business to gain competitiveness based on business strategy concepts and tools, such as the VRIO model and the GUT matrix.
