Executive SummaryPROBLEM:Today, college students who are always on the run, in between classes and projects to deliver, struggle to eat consistently healthy. Most students are either lazy to cook or do not have time to cook a well balanced meal. They end-up eating out a lot, which limits healthy, quick options.
SOLUTION:To address this issue, we are introducing Fresh Leaves: a service for college communities to have healthy and organic food that is easily accessible. We are using a food truck to go from one school building to another and sell ready-to-eat, delicious and healthy meals as well as End of the Day Goodies, which will stem from previously prepared leftovers from the day that we do not intend to use in the future. To help lead our consumers’ minds into a healthier lifestyle, we are also introducing a virtual nutrition coaching program, through the app.
TARGET MARKET:Wefocusonstudents.Thetruckservesfoodatspecificbreakhours(ie.SCADbuildings:10.30-11am,1.30-2pm,4.30-5pm).Promotionisthroughsocialmediaandword-of-mouthmostlybutflyerswillbedistributedintheschool’sbuildingsatthe beginning. Prices are based at the highest point students are willing to pay. Finally, the food is made practical and easytoeatsostudentscanfinishtheirmealsinaclassroomenvironment.
COMPETITION:Today, when students need food in between classes, they generally end-up going to fast casual restaurants or grocery storesthatofferhealthieroptions.Wehavestudiedthesesectorsandidentifiedouropportunitiestobuildaninnovativeand succesful model.
TEAM:We, Molly and Charlotte, the founders, are starting the business on our own. We are both foodies, who like cooking and learning about healthy options. We have worked together in the past and became friends over time so we know eachother ’s professional and personal habits. On top of having the same goals for this business, we enjoy spending time together and are excited to see the project come to life.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:Initial funds are from friends, family, a Kickstarter project and a $75,000 bank loan. Working capital comes from selling our meals and virtual nutrition coaching for consumers. Costs include buying and maintaining the truck, gas over time, additional utilities needed to cook in Charlotte and Molly ’s kitchen, buying a fridge for food storage, buying groceries every week, initial cooking supplies and employee salaries. The $75,000 loan from the bank (with 7% interest rate) is needed in order to reach our breakeven point by the last month of our second year in business.
MILESTONES:• Become the most desirable choice for ready-to-eat, on-the-go food for students at SCAD within a year of business• During the second year of business, build a vending machine to sell meals and snacks in most popular building.• During the third year of business, rent kitchen space outside of home, dedicated to the business.• Once break-even point is reached, expand business to another college in Savannah : Armstrong Atlantic. • Once 100K revenue is reached within the 150-mile radius, roadtrip through the US, following social media call-outs
by students wanting us to come to their campus.• Increase Virtual Nutritionist Program of 10% participants each year

Business DescriptionStrategic Intent
MISSION STATEMENTService for college communities to have healthy and organic food that is easily accessible.
VALUES• Premium quality of local products• Energizing and tasty food to satisfy customers• Fitting needs of customers (diet restrictions, schedules...)• Easy accessibility to products and practical meals with propper portions• Knowledgeable employees• Sustainable lifestyle• Exceptional customer service
VISIONLead students to a healthier lifestyle, helping them towards a more sustainable behavior.
OBJECTIVES• Obtain a loyal customer base after two months of starting the service• Adapting our service offering based on the wants and needs of the customer• Consistent positive reviews and feedback for food and customer service
Once we decided on the service package, we established the strategic intent to have guides for the project.
The Business Model Canvas can be found in Appendix A. It helped us map out in detail the different parts of our service and how they relate. This model consists of: Key Partners, Key Activities, Key Resources, Value Proposition, Customer Relationships,CustomerSegments,CostStructureandRevenueStream.Allofthesetermsdefineeveryaspectofthebusiness including who is involved, what is involved, what the business is about, and how the business makes money. The Business Model Canvas we generated for Fresh Leaves combines factors from two different branches within the food sector: supermarket and fast casual dining. As they are both potential competitors, we researched them and created the Fresh Leaves business model from opportunities recognized through these competitors.

As our initial thought was to create a health conscious yet rapid food service, we started to research supermarkets as people who are health conscious tend to shop in grocery stores and cook their own meals rather than eating out. The service package below shows an overview of the service offered by supermarkets. We also developed a Business Model Canvas for this industry, which can be found in Appendix B.
We then took a deeper look into the industry by analyzing major players and potential competition such as Whole Foods and Publix. Whole foods sells local and organic products at a high price point. Publix on the other hand, sells a wide variety of lower priced groceries and prides itself in having a friendly, helpful and clean environment. Through researching thesebrands,weidentifiedthatFreshLeaveshassimilarresultsinquality,customerservice,cleanlinessandlocalfactors.Consequently we took another approach to the food industry and analyzed popular fast casual options (see next page).

Chipotle
To understand another market within the food industry that we could enter, we did a service package of the general fast and casual food experience. We then mapped out the strategy canvas comparing Fresh Leaves to two popular choices students buy from: Chipotle and Brighter Day. We also developed a Business Model Canvas that can be found in the Appendix C.
Below, the strategy canvas shows that there are more opportunities than when comparing our service to grocery stores. We consequently decided to focus on deliverying ready-to-eat meals and adding small grocery amounts (End of the Day Goodies) as an enhanced offering. The healthiest and most closely related one to our Fresh Leaves concept in Savannah, is Brighter Day as they serve local, organic and healthy groceries as well as ready-to-eat options during midday. However, we have the advantage of going to students instead of being a stable location where students need to go to. Chipotle is less of a competitor, as they offer quick Mexican food without the extra grocery option.

Business EnvironmentSWOTAfter researching the food sector and understanding what our competitors stand for, we did a SWOT analysis of both the grocery store experience and the fast casual experience. This SWOT analyis shows ways in which companies (possibly ours) can innovate to beat the competition. Below, tables are color-coded into either the grocery store experience (dark green) or the fast casual experience (light green).

Humphrey, Albert. “SWOT Analysis for Management Consulting.” SRI Alumni Newsletter (2005). Print.“Ten Types of Innovation: The Discipline of Building Breakthroughs.” Doblin. Web. 11 Nov. 2014.
Thanks to the SWOT analysis, we developed a few ideas to incorporate in our service. These include: quality and freshnessoffood,deliveryservices,providingadigitaltoolforamoreefficientservice,adaptingtousers’tastesanddietary restrictions, surprising consumers with new offerings etc. Following the SWOT analysis, we dug more into trends and possible innovations. We used Doblin’s Ten Types of Innovation model to categorize innovations. Below are some that helped us shape Fresh Leaves.
NetworkGrocery stores are looking to satisfy their client’s new cravings by connecting with local, organic brands that sell products with no GMO or artificial products,collaborating with chefs and cooks to provide an in-store on the spot eating experience.
Structure Grocery stores care about an efficientcustomer service and have invested in new technologies to do so — self checkout systems, scan through iPhone… People are also looking for an experience in the store (can spend 5h in Whole Foods without grocery shopping).
Product PerformanceTo provide the highest quality of products, supermarkets invest time and research to find the right partnerships.People are more conscious about eating healthy food with no GMOs. They also want a variety of products. Additionaly, stores are helping people to save with constant deals (ex buy 3 for 5$).
Product SystemSatisfying customers with ready-to-eat solutions (WF: in store restaurant, Publix: deli bar and bakery etc.)
ChannelTo help with transparency of information, websites and apps for grocery stores provide nutritional information (people interested in knowing what they ingest) and giving them ideas of how to use their products with featured recipes that can be personalized to special diets (again, people have become more self-conscious about what they eat).Most stores have apps to help with branding, awareness of products (teach-ing them what is inside and how to cook product), and provide digital coupons.
Customer EngagementSincecustomerswant tobeasefficientas possible, employees need to be knowledgable about each and every product, where it is in the store and what ingredients it contains. Employees are also generally friendly and constantly asking how they can help customers.
Profit ModelShift in human behavior has geared the food industry towards advertising nutrititional information on packaging, and highlightingspecificssuchasGF,Organic,Vegan, etc.

Marketing PlanPositioningFrom understanding the business environment in which our business stands, we developed positioning maps with factors such as quality versus price, brand awareness versus how much the service cares for the community, and customer service versus type of environment.

Our competitors within the positioning maps are from each type of sector we studied. Publix and Whole foods from the grocery sector; Chipotle and Brighter Day from the fast, casual dining we studied. Our service is positioned with high awareness of the brand because we will strive to be well known and highly demanded. Fresh Leaves is fully conscious of the environment, being placed as extreme community caring and highest among its competitors. The food truck is also placed higher with some competitors in relation to how natural the environment will be. Within that same map, Fresh Leaves will demonstrate exceptional customer service, with the idea of developing personal relationships with its target market. Fresh Leaves will have medium range prices, with consideration of the target market being college students. The quality of the food will be very high since that is part of the business’ values.

Marketing PlanMarket Segmentation
• Target market: college students. • Average age: 17 - 22 years old for undergraduates; 25 - 40 years old for graduate students. • Budget: Low; education is expensive and they do not have time for a full time job. Some students manage a part-
timejobbuttheseareoftenthemostfinanciallyinneedandthemoneytheyearnusuallygoesbacktowardstheireducation. Habits:
• Studentswearetargetingarealwaysontherunandwanttogetfoodinthemostefficientwaypossible.Iftheyhaveaback-to-backclassatSCAD,theyonlyhave30minutestofind,payandeattheirfood.Evenifmostpeopleeatwithin 20 minutes, these 30 minutes become rushed when involving other factors such as going to the locaiton selling food, getting in line to pay, waiting for the food to be cooked etc.
• Most people in higher education are somewhat aware of health trends and even though they may not care about eating healthy, milleniums unconsciously follow trends and will eat dairy free for example, not because of any intolerance but because their friends are having it, and it is not harmful to their bodies in any way.
From this target segmentation, we made four personas to better understand our users’ goals. In order to remind ourselves of the segmentation, we established the same bi-polar opposites for all personas but their personality traits act differently within these bi-polar. We based our personas on the SCAD community as this is where the service will start. Students from SCAD not only come from different countries all over the world but also have different habits and preferences that we need to acknowledge in order to better satisfy them. We chose to illustrate a Latin and an Asian student as most international students at SCAD have these origins. We also have two American students as SCAD is here in the United States and about 90% of students are American. One is not that health conscious while the other one is an athlete and has to be health conscious. View following pages for personas.

In this market segmentation, we do not mention how health conscious our target is because people who are not necessarily health conscious will use our service because of its convenience and will unconsciously shift towards a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

Marketing PlanMarketing Tools and MixMoving forward with the marketing plan, we used our personas to develop the tools and mix to result in the highest success possible. How we plan to use each tool (traditional 4 Ps as well as marketing tools for services) is explained below.
Product:• High quality ingredients• On-the-go,
practical meals• Eco-Friendly• Social Media App• Sutainable packaging• Virtual Coaching
Price:• Highest price point that
students are willing to pay
• Convenience cost• Locally grown & quality
product cost
Place:• One traveling branch• Home base kitchen • Revolving location
based on popularity
Promotion:• Social media hype• Flyers• Word of mouth• Advertising on
school’s internal website (ie. MyScad)
People:• Split Presidency• Chef / server / cashier• App developer• Local farmers
(Farmer ’s Market)• Wholesale food distributors• Nutritionist
Process:• Quick• Seamless• Simple, pre-ordering via
app• Payment accepted
through app• Always communicating &
building awareness• Transarency of information
Physical Evidence:• Cooking and cleaning appliances• Food Truck• App (smartphone) and
socialmedia/notifications• Packaging and disposables• Paying system (Square / cashier)• Food and beverages
Fresh Leaves’ marketing mix is based on how we plan to grow over time. To start off, we aim to promote and build awareness through social networking with minimal expense towards print advertising. The awareness will be a huge focus in order to develop a loyal customer base. The product will stick to the business mission and be practical, and on-the-go. A developed app will come into play in order to help in smoothing the process as well as adding to the awareness and promotion. A mockup of this app can be found in Appendix D. Fresh leaves will initially just be run by us, Molly and Charlotte, who will be in control of everything from recipes offered and actual cooking to photography and social networking. A Nutritionist and app developer will need to be hired for the two jobs that we are not competant in: diet coaching and coding the app.

Marketing PlanYEAR 1 SALES OBJECTIVESFirst 5 months: • Sell 1,350 meals per month to reach $12,398 of revenue from meals purchased• Sell meals for an average of $9.50 each, per week-day, in at least three locations to receive $570 daily
revenue, plus an additional $475 of revenue for Friday (50 meals per Friday)• Meal prices are $8, with sales averaging $9.50 per person (with added drink / snack /add on, and tax
included).
Rest of the year:• Targettheschool’sgymandathleticfields,withpre/postworkoutsmoothiesandsnacks.Pricesrange
between $2.00 and $7.50 with possible add ons for $0.75 each. Our goal is a combined 135 sales from smoothies and snacks, bringing in $405 a month.
YEAR 2 SALES OBJECTIVES• DevelopEndoftheDayGoodiesconceptfurther:analyzefirstyearsellsandincreaseby50%• Provide one vending machine to be placed in the highest revenue school building
YEAR 3 SALES OBJECTIVES• Apply system to one other school in Savannah (Armstrong), with the same truck, targeting this new location
half of the week until notice of which brings in higher revenue. Only develop gym and vending machine concept a year after implementation in the new school.
• Rent location for a kitchen, to continue growing as not just a business, but a user centered service by promoting a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
Sales Breakdown:The breakdown of meals being sold is divided amongst the three stops per day of Monday through Friday, as well as weekends in order to successfully reach our goals. Additionally, the End of the Day Goodies part of the business will only aid towards revenue and help the break-even process move along. The anticipated monthly sales revenue is $10,260. The End of the Day Goodies are anticipated to start bringing in around $200 - $300 a month at the end of thefirstyear,withanincreasetoanaverageof$700amonthafteryear1.Alongwiththesalesofhealthymeals,wewillimplement a virtual nutrition coach system, which will attract students to join through designated student ‘ambassadors’ whom are chosen by us, Charlotte and Molly. Forthefirstyear,wewillaverage$400ofrevenuefromthevirtualnutrition,asitwillbearound$20amonthperstudent.Year 1 overall revenue will average $12,563. Year 2 and year 3 revenue will increase thanks to selling smoothies and snacks. Aside from sales coming from the Food Truck, revenue will also generate from the vending machine within the building that was previously collecting the most highly generated revenue. The average revenue of Year 2 and 3 is $15,100.

Operations PlanService Blueprint In the Appendix E, our blueprint shows a step-by-step description of user actions and how employees interact directly (frontstage actions) or indirectly (backstage actions) with the consumer. We detailed the beginning of the day (preparing the food and serving it at 10.30am, and the end of the day (after 5pm) since actions of serving the food will be repeated throughout the day. On weekends, operations are mostly backstage as they include buying food, talking to suppliers etc.

Financial PlanEstimated CostsOurestimatedcostsforthefirstyearcomesto$250,340.Itisderivedfromprojectedinventorytoproducetheamountof sales we have to make happen. Other estimated costs come from factors such as the purchase of the food truck, initial startup costs such as cooking utensils and supplies, and permits (applications and licensing), as well as the materials to integrate the vending machine. Estimated costs will slightly rise the next year because of other implementations such as the vending rental space, and the virtual nutritionist. By the end of year 2, the estimated costs fall, bringing year 3 estimated costs to $165,012.
Fixed Expenses:Thefixedexpensesareaccountedfor,ascostsarestaticnomatterwhatourprofitorlossmaybe.Purchasingofthefoodtruck is broken up into a payment plan with a constant monthly cost of $3,000 for year 1 & 2. This payment ends at the endofyear2,whichresultsinloweroverallexpenses.Otherfixedexpensesarekitchenspacerent,utilitypayments,trucklicensing and insurance, parking, salaries, miscellaneous marketing, and loan payments with interest. All of these expenses are not necessarily constant for every month through the year, but the cost does not depend on or change with sales and revenue.

Balance sheet With Fresh Leaves being a start up, we have developed a balance sheet for opening day. This sheet consists of the assetsandliabilitiesofthebusiness.Therearecurrentandfixedassests.CurrentassetsforFreshLeavesincludescashat hand by the founders, cost of inventory and supplies necessary to launch, such as all ingredients for cooking, and gasoline to drive the truck, as well as any pre-paid expenses; which consist of payments such as licensing, an application to start the business, packaging and disposables, and any marketing necessary in order to be succesful upon starting. Liabilities within a balance sheet are debts owed to suppliers, also known as accounts payable. For Fresh Leaves’ opening day balance sheet, the current liabilites are taxes, salaries, interest on the loan we are asking for, and insurance that we will owe. The long term liability we withhold is the $75,000 loan we are asking for. The balance sheet can be found in Appendix G.
Return on InvestmentAs Fresh Leaves is a convenient service of freshly prepared meals, one of the most important element of the business is the food truck. We had initially planned to rent a truck for two years and buy a high quality one later but then realized wewerenotmakingenoughrevenuewithinthefirsttwoyearstorentandthenbuyone.Also,itwasnotgoingtobeworthit if we were spending more to have an average truck. Consequenty, we found a payment plan of $3,000 per month for two years, and realized it was cheaper to directly buy the truck with this plan. Furthermore, avoiding a change in truck is ideal as we do not want our consumers to be confused by our identity. Although we (Molly and Charlotte), could serve asnutritionistsbecauseofourhighknowledgeinhealthyfoods,wehavenoofficialrecognitionandwouldnotappearascredible as the nutritionist hired. Hiring a nutritionist will reassure conusmers and incite them to become members.

Break-even AnalysisWith the average sale at $9.5, we must sell 60 meals per day or 960 meals a month, in order to break even at the end of the second year. Our expenses slowly decrease through year 1 and year 2, which leads towards the beginning of making profit.Below,thebreak-even(BE)pointisshownattheintersectionofcostsandrevenue,whenrevenueexceedscosts.InAppendixHisthebreak-evengraphofthedetailedmonthtomonthbreakdownthroughthefirst3yearsofbusiness.

Implementation RoadmapMilestones
Scenarios
• Becomethefirstchoiceforready-to-eaton-the-gofoodforstudentsatSCADwithinayear• During the second year of business, build a vending machine to sell meals and snacks in most popular building.• During the third year of business, estabish a central stable location to promote a healthy and sustainable lifestyle
and have a kitchen dedicated to the business• When breakeven point is reached for the SCAD community (third year), grow out to Armstrong, by going twice a week
with truck used for SCAD. If demand grows as expected, have one truck per campus. Once success is attained at Armstrong, install vending machines and grow to another campus in Savannah (such as Savannah State). If business model is successful, plan to expand to two college communities within 150-mile radius. Meaning, new trucks and new resources for the different cities.
• Once 100K revenue is reached within the 150-mile radius, roadtrip through the US, following social media call-outs by students wanting us to come to their campus.
• Increase Virtual Nutritionist Program of 10% participants each year. Become the ‘go-to’ source for health concerns, nutritional options and advice.
• What if the city of Savannah allows food trucks and competition rises?Ouradvantageisthatwefocusoncollegecommunities.FreshLeaves’tailoredlocationsandmenusfitstudent’swants,needs and goals. However, to ensure loyalty to our products, we will adjust prices to stay competitive in relation to new food trucks and offer a loyalty card to make costumers come back. This card will offer a 50% reduction in price for one meal, after 20 meals purchased. Furthermore, we will partner with local popular stores to promote our brand and sell a recipe a week. We would prepare 20 meals of this recipe a week and the partner restaurant would receive 30% of each mealsold.Onthelongterm,wewouldchooseonlytworestaurantsintheareaandsellthemthreerecipesthatfittheircurrent menus.
• What if costs become larger than revenue?We will start to work in SCAD’s community garden to recolt fruits and vegetables which will lower costs of groceries. This implies that we will either need to hire someone to take care of the garden and recolt fruits and vegetables or run the truck while one of us (Molly/Charlotte) works in the garden. Additionally, we will instore a $350 meal plan system with 50 meals per quarter to ensure consumers keep on coming, as they have meals to consume on their plan. This system is cost effectiveforusersaswiththemealplan,theypayafixedpriceof$7permealinsteadofanaverageof$9.50(drink/snack/extra included)
• What if our success is larger than what SCAD expects and they do not want to be associated with us?We will target other cities with more universities and instead of having a university based contract we will manage everything on our own, and sell on public ground only. We could also stay in Savannah and negotiate with the town hall to come with an agreement and possibly some changes in the business model, like only selling to SCAD students. Finally, another proposition would be to let SCAD buy the business, or part of it, in order to include some Fresh Leaves meals in regular student meal plans. SCAD would then become the primary investor and stakeholder for Fresh Leaves.
