Atmosphere We will be purchasing a reliable pre-owned medium food truck.

Our main menu will be two large dry erase or chalk boards. We will display on a rotating basis "green" art work and crafts from local artisans. We will also be displaying brochures from local and exotic farms and other worthy causes. We will donate food to local organizations. 10% of our net profits will go to help the needy and Rainforest preservation.
Marketing Strategy Our plan is to focus on just 5 marketing strategies... Grand Opening Party with free bite size samples and vouchers for free and discounted menu items. Local Offices: We will hand deliver free lunch vouchers and menu's to office managers. We will fax menu's each day to area office managers. Social Media: We will develop Instagram, FaceBook and Twitter contacts in the area. We will post regular updates with choice pictures of our savory offerings, including trivia contests with prizes of free food. Foodstart: God willing our idea will resonant with the Food Start community and we will develop a loyal following.
Financial Plan We anticipate start-up costs of $72,765. Through Foodstart, we will raise $37,765 for general startup expenses (medium used reliable food truck with kitchen equipment, insurance, permits, food inventory, signage, menu's, fuel, etc.) We also anticipate receiving a $20,000 Rockland Industrial Developement Assoc. loan and a $10,000 grant from the Rockland Small Business Developement Center. The extra $7,765 we will put on our credit cards! In year we expect to generate over $341,000 in sales, $596,000 in sales by the end of year two. First profitability will be reached by our third month in operation. More Info We have married the three sky rocketing segments of the food industry in one business. The marketing research shows that the organic food segment, the smoothie industry and the food truck business have all seen and continue to enjoy hearty financial growth. This due to the public’s desire to get away from toxic foods, be eco-friendly and enjoy good tasting healthy fast food. We have been using these foods and recipes to help our clients get healthy for the past 15 years. We are now ready to break out into the general public and the research shows that they are ready also. Our growth plan is to continually seek to satisfy our customers palettes, continually offer unsurpassed customer service, modify our menu seasonally, stay true to our organic roots and continue to add even more eco-friendly features to our food truck (i.e.: solar panels). If all goes well, down the line we will open a brick and mortar establishment.
