The student’s goal is to understand that logic can be used to
justify the validity of generalizations involving
entrepreneurship. The student will determine the freshest and
most economical way to get their food in the hands of the public.
Students will need to develop a business plan to make the food
truck successful based upon the food offered, how much they sell,
the goods needed for the truck, and the cost of getting the truck
from place to place.
The student is a part of a team of entrepreneurs that has decided
to start a food truck business.
Team of entrepreneurs.
The team is skeptical about the food truck business. They have
requested a business plan outlining how/why the food truck
business will be successful.
The student should create a presentation in a form of a power
point and illustrate the business plan. The PowerPoint should be a
minimum of 6 slides which addresses all aspects of the business
plan from the task sheet attached. The business plan should
include an introduction, supporting facts, supporting details, and a
summary based on the mathematical calculations.

Task Sheet: Performance Task Description

Food trucks are becoming very popular across the United Arab Emirates and especially during the
cooler months. These trucks can be found in any area with people looking for something to eat.

You are planning on traveling and selling your food and beverages out of a food truck at fairs,
outside markets, and carnivals within a 50 km radius of your house. Your team have asked you to
create the business plan for this entrepreneurial opportunity. You will need to gather the necessary
information and put it together. The team will then make an informed decision regarding going
forward with the creation of the food truck based upon your presentation of the plan.

Present your findings in the form of a business plan:

Business Idea

 Is it a product or service?
 What makes your idea/product different?
 How will your product stand out from competition? You can draw or illustrate your answer.
 Why will people want to buy your product/service? Explain.

Business Name

 What does the name say about your business? Is it unique? Memorable? Easy to
pronounce?

Target Market and Demographics

 Who will your customers be?

 Where do they live?
 What is your target market passionate about?

Marketing

 How will people get to know about your product/Business?

 Where will you sell your product?

Pricing

 How much will you charge?

 What are your competitors charging?

Profit

 How much do you think you will make at each sale after you subtract from your expenses?
Profit – Income – Expense
 What is the:
Sale price:
Cost of item:
Profit:
 What will you do with the money you make?
