Project Background and Rationale


2

A food truck is a large wheeled vehicle from which food


is sold that typically contains cooking facilities where the
food is prepared. Food Truck is a public vehicle of which
opens for all and can moves places from time to time. Food
truck offers a large selection of food and beverages that
can be selected from menu and desires to satisfy the guest.
In food truck the food is usually served to the customers’
by the server or cook directly from the food truck’s window.
Food Trucks have become the latest fad among the consumers
as well. Almost all food trucks are pocket-friendly. Food
Truck claims to target audiences that cannot afford a five-
star restaurant, yet desire a scrumptious, quality meal.
Food trucks are a safer and healthier alternative to street
food. Food from street vendors is generally considered
unsafe for consumption. With growing health consciousness,
more and more people are switching to alternatives like
small restaurants and food trucks. Most restaurants fail to
operate because of a poor location and high rentals. Food
Trucks are immune to this problem, a mobile business choose
the location as per the entrepreneur’s choice. If the
services do not seem to work well at a particular location,
the entrepreneur can move to some other location and see if
the business model is capable of thriving there.
A comfruit truck is a food truck that offers a variety
of fruits served in a cup or glass as an appetizer or
dessert where people can eat, drink, enjoy, and relax.
Most people do not have enough time to go in some
places such as restaurants to eat, and enjoy their leisure
time. Some people cannot afford to eat in a fancy
restaurant. When we have less time to cook, when there are
no time to go home for lunch because of traffic and hectic
3

schedule, and when we want a place to simply to chill and


relax. Also, there are few restaurants that offer fresh
fruits in a cup only vendor located in sidewalk. By this
comfruit truck, costumers were able to be comfortable during
their free time with a cup of fresh fruits.
At present, Roxas City has a vast number of streetfood
vendors that offers a variety of foods but there less
visible food trucks that may encounter. Comfruit Truck
offers an affordable, delectable, and fresh fruits serve in
cup or glass may it serve as shake, juice, chopped or a
cake, with a comfortable ambiance and excellent service to
its customers. The ultimate endeavour of our food truck is
to maintain customer satisfaction and we want to make sure
that we have all what were they looking for a food truck and
have energetic professionals with proven calibre and
required expertise.

Objectives

After conducting this feasibility study, the researcher


will be able to achieve the following:
1. To be known because of the unique offers and excellent
services;
2. To maintain the rate or level success of the project,
or to make it increase yearly;
3. To sustain the attitude of the people in project of

4. To make the profit of this project to continue grow;
5. To capture customer’s taste, supply clients with
healthy and fresh fruits in a fast and efficient way,
And also to meet their satisfactory level;
4

6. To keep the quality of products and service maintain or


grow;
7. To offer healthy and fresh fruits in a safe and clean
way as an alternative for street foods.

Description of the Proposed Project

The proposed food truck is not a usual mobile type of


business that can choose a location where the owner thinks
if their business model is capable of thriving, this food
truck stays in one selected place that will provide tables,
chairs, and tent for customers to comfortably enjoy their
order. The food truck is a self-service food truck that
offers a cup of fresh fruit that can be serve chopped, as a
fruit smoothie, fruit juice and a fruitcake. The fruits that
will be offered each day will be according to its season.
Business hours will be 9am to 6pm on Monday to Friday,

Comfruit Truck will be a partnership business owned by


Jollo J. Tuazon and Alliah D. Valladares. A partnership is a
business owned by two or more people. Each owner can help
with financing, start-up costs, or on-going business
expenses.

Proposed Name

The proposed project shall be registered under the name


“Comfruit Truck”. The name was inspired by the combination
of the word Comfort and Fruit. It simply defines that
Comfruit Truck is a Food Truck that offers fresh fruits in a
cup. The name was made simple to ensure memory retention of
the business for the customer so that it would be easy for
them to remember and to tell their friends and families.

Location

The proposed location of COMFRUIT TRUCK is at the Capiz


Government and Business Center Corner Entrance, Sanroque
Extension, Roxas City, Capiz.
Comfruit Truck will be providing a safe space for
customers to eat and enjoy their food in order that it
wouldn’t be much of a hassle to them and avoid accidents.
Since the main target of the business are the students, at
the same time the passers-by, employees and anyone who likes
fruit's, the proposed business location is suitable. It is
very accessible and feasible to the students of any schools,
as the area is reachable and adjacent to the students coming
from the Capiz National High School, Capiz State University
and St. Anthony College of Roxas City Institute. Hence, the
6

proposed location of the business will make it predominant

project that would offer fruits refreshments in the market.

comforts" it defines that in this kind of food truck, we

Conclusion and Recommendation
Based on the results derived from the conduct survey
for the study, the researchers came up with the conclusions
and recommendations.
Since the business is involved in the food industry, it
is most likely to succeed because food is one of the most
important human needs. The business is also new for the
people because it will be the first food truck that offers
affordable, fresh, and delicious Fruit Snacks. It will
become a top trend that will help the business to exceed in
the Food industry with in the city. The business is feasible
enough because it has the ability to exist to generate
76
profit, and to expand.
The proposed business also provides opportunities to
the local community since it can help provide jobs and
generate income. The business will also help the local
suppliers of the raw materials in generating their own
income and expand their financial investments.
The income level and the amount that respondents are
spending in buying snacks desserts and beverages evidently
indicate that Comfruit Truck’s target market can ably afford
the products offered. Furthermore, survey results show that
48

majority of the respondents are willing to patronize the


products and services being offered by Comfruit Truck.
As to the technical viability of the business, the
products to be offered are safe, of good quality and taste
at a very reasonable price. In terms of financial viability,
through the demand-supply analysis and a five year sales
forecast, it shows positively that the business can give a
reasonable return of profit and therefore, the business is
highly feasible and sustainable.
Given the conclusion above, it is highly recommended
that this project be pushed through the soonest possible
time. The financial statements show positive forecasts on
equity as there is an increasing trend on net income on a
five-year period of operation. The results turned out to be
better than expected: it is advisable to develop the market
by expanding the business through branching out into the
different cities in Capiz and outside Capiz.
