1. Business Name (Provisional): UrbanFuel
2. Industry: Food Service Business / Street Food / Quick-Service Restaurants (QSR)
3. Problem Statement:
Traditional restaurants require significant capital, fixed overhead, and long lease commitments. Many aspiring chefs, culinary entrepreneurs, and local food creators cannot afford a full-scale location. Meanwhile, demand for fast, affordable, and quality food options in public spaces, business districts, and events is growing.
4. Solution:
UrbanFuel is a modern mobile food truck café serving gourmet street food with locally sourced ingredients and seasonal menus. The business offers flexibility to move between high-footfall areas, festivals, office zones, and universities.
The food truck will be equipped with a compact, eco-efficient kitchen and digital ordering system (app + QR code). Menus will include fusion cuisine, healthy bowls, plant-based snacks, and seasonal specials. Customers can track truck locations in real time via the app.
5. Target Audience:
- Young professionals and students
- Event-goers and urban pedestrians

- Launch 1 fully operational truck within 6 months
- Serve 300+ meals daily in busy urban spots
