Location

Alberta Street is next to one of the busiest bus stations and a walking distance of several offices and 3 universities. The street has a great view and is a happening place for people to unwind and interact socially. There are usually a lot of activities being held at this place, attracting hundreds of people. The most wanted and demanded thing at a place, with such a footfall, is food. Currently, there is only 1 dessert cart operating on the street.

Food Preparation

XYZ will provide clean, hygienic, and high-quality churros to the customers. All the food will be freshly prepared on the cart. The ingredients will be bought on a weekly basis, except for the dairy products which will be bought daily. The cart will have a stove for deep frying and a refrigerator for keeping the fruits and toppings and dairy products. All the tabletops will be made of stainless steel for easy cleaning purposes.

Management Team

We are 2 partners currently operating our XYZ Food Cart business. We have been in this business for the past 3 years. We will be managing the Food Cart business.

Target Audience

Our target audience is teenagers and adults, age-group ranging from 13- 40, especially people who are working or studying in the offices and universities nearby.

Market Analysis: Food Cart business is a fast-growing business. It has grown 5% more than the restaurant business in the past 5 years. The basic reason for the success and growth of a Food cart Business is its low initial investment. Moreover, carts are used for marketing and promotion purposes. They offer a chance to taste a variety of cuisines at exceptional locations.

Customer Analysis: Everybody has a hidden sweet tooth whether they confess it or not. The percentage of confectioner Food carts is a lot higher than the Savory Food carts. Consumers prefer trying new flavors and the availability of a wide range boosts the product market growth. Food carts tend to be fresh, fast, and easily accessible. People prefer convenience and reasonable pricing.

Competitive Analysis: We did a little research and found out that there are currently 7 Food carts operating at Alberta Street. Most of the carts sell savory items. We saw an opportunity to sell desserts in the area.
