EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Idea
Our business plan idea is to create a chain of mobile restaurants. This is a simplified version of a standard restaurant that most of the people go to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The whole concept is very similar to the kebab kiosks that there are plenty in Lithuania, but there are few major differences that our idea stands out. The first difference is mobility. There are plenty of various food kiosks but neither of them can move, even though they are on wheels. The second difference is the food itself, to our knowledge there arent any food kiosks where you can actually buy a regular lunch instead of fast food.
Our strategy
We are planning to be very flexible and adjust to customer needs, and to fulfil working time we are planning to cater whole day meals, for example in the morning our menus would consist of fresh simple cup of coffee, tea or juice and some buns for those people who are in a hurry. In the mornings our main selling spots could be where plenty of people are waiting for public transportation, or at the universities campuses. For the lunch our main goal would be to cater as much people as possible, thats why we would choose business center areas and universities, that dont have, or have very small canteens for example ISM. For the evening we could choose places, where people would like to gather, parks and other cozy places.
Our product and future growth
As mentioned above we would be very flexible and would have a competitive advantage against our rivals, that we would serve fresh and good quality food. The client could choose main meal, adding to the meal, side dishes, soups, deserts and various snacks and drinks. Taking about the development of mobile restaurant idea we could see an opportunity to grow not only in our capital, but also to expand to cities such as Kaunas and Klaipeda, where gathers a lot of students and are lot of business centers. After a year our optimistic plans are to expand to other two Baltic capital cities Riga and Tallinn. Looking in the long time period we are not tending to limit ourselves only by a mobile restaurant, after years of being attractive to our customers we are willing to bring a group of our brand lovers who would create a demand for our restaurants chain and we will be forced to create not only mobile restaurant, but also a normal healthy restaurant chain.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Legal structure
Our company will be registered as a private limited liability company. In Lithuania it will be called UAB Mobilus restoranas. According to Lithuanian policies, the start-up capital of a company must be higher than 10000 Lt in order to register the company as UAB. Also, there should be no more than 250 shareholders inside the company. Finally, the organization cant distribute shares outside the company.
We will need to collect several documents in order to be registered as UAB Company. Also, the bank account with minimum capital must be opened, as well as a bank certificate proving the availability of the funds should be obtained. Besides that, the owners of the company should get a confirmed electronic signature from the Centre of Registrar of Certificates. Also it is important to complete VAT registration, because annual turnover is expected to be more than 155,000 LT. Finally, the company should obtain the official seal of the company.
Ownership Structure
The owners of the company will be the two general managers, who will run the business. They will be responsible for hiring new employees. Also, they will manage their documents and their salaries. GM will supervise all of companys employees. Therefore, the owners must be management experts. They will be the most important figure for the company, since they will take responsibility for all activities of the company. The general managers will make all decisions considering the operations of the business.
Organization Chart
The company will have 10 employees during the first three years of operations. The main management team will include two general managers. The general managers will constitute the board of directors. They will make major decisions about the organization. In addition to that the company will employ part-time marketing company that will help the store to increase sales, but this will not include in the number of 10 employees. The company will also employ sales people and chefs for operating the mobile restaurants.
The organization will have a vertical information flow. The information will flow upward and downward. All decisions will be made by the general managers and will be communicated to lowest chain part. Employees will be able to communicate their suggestions and thoughts about the business to the general managers directly. Thus, it is expected that no problems with communication will appear.
General Managers Sales people Kitchen chefs MARKETING PLAN
Marketing objectives
Our main marketing plan objectives: Awareness (to make customers aware that new restaurants are available). Gain popularity between our potential customers and till the end of the first year to attract 15% of them. To generate revenue of 4 804 575 Lt in the first year. In the second year to increase our sales by 60% and the third year sales by 20% comparing to the second year. To become a new business people attribute of a healthy lifestyle. To become a new trend for youths, where they could have a conversation with friends. To become recognizable and most trusted mobile restaurant brand in the capital city of Vilnius. Marketing strategies
Target market
In Vilnius there are about 400 cafs and restaurants, most of them are located in the city center. For business people, who work in business centers distant from the old town arise a problem, how to have a time to drive to nice restaurant, to dine and come back to work during one hour length lunch break and for students restaurants and cafes in old town and city center is not affordable. Our main target group would be employees of business centers, who will be having whole meal lunch. Average income of our primary target group is approximately about 2500 Lt, so we could do the assumption that they could afford to spend from 17 to 22 Lt for the lunch every day. Our customer age is about from 20 to 35 years, because these people lifestyle is similar to west Europeans or Americans, which are mostly open for innovativeness and search ways to eat healthy and at the moment save their time. Secondary target group is youth, who is always in a hurry and do not have time to drink cup of coffee with their friends. This target group could be named as an active students for whom 24 hours is not enough to do everything they have planned. This target group income is not as high as the first groups, but they still will visit our restaurant because of a new trend and during their conversation with their friends they could afford to drink a cup of coffee with some snacks or desserts from our menu.
Positioning statement
Mobile restaurants are going to be the only one restaurant brand in Lithuania, which have wheels and could be moved in every place, which has a parking lot. It would be the first restaurant positioned as mobile and flexible, which provide high quality whole meal food in convenient location only in a several minutes from taking the order. The time spent in the mobile restaurant would not exceed the time you eat in a fast food restaurant (McDonalds), but the quality of the food will make you feel healthy and active to do the remaining job after lunch, and the place we are located will decrease your lunch and journey time minimum by 20 minutes.
Marketing mix
Brand name
Mobile restaurant name would reflect our two main advantages among our rivals. Mobile will mean that we are quick, movable, live and flexible. Restaurant - that we are qualitative and ready to serve food, which is fresh, tasty and affordable.
Product/Service
Our business lunch menu would differ from fast food and would not be a junk food, because we would provide only regular dishes which is usual in normal restaurants, also our service would be fast comparing to regular restaurants, because you would not need to wait half an hour for your order. The location of our restaurant is changeable and according to the demand location is chosen where it is most handy for the most of our customers.
Pricing
We will be affordable for people whose income is little bit less than average in Lithuania about 2000 Lt and for all the others who want high quality meal in extremely short time. Our menu is created to be available for customers according to their needs.
Soup of the day + salad + drink (juice, coffee or tea) 17 LT Soup of the day + main dish + drink (juice, coffee or tea) 19 LT Soup of the day + salad + drink (juice, coffee or tea) + dessert or snack 20 LT Soup of the day + main dish + drink (juice, coffee or tea) + dessert or snack 22 LT Soup of the day 7 LT Salad 10 LT Main dish 13 LT Dessert 6 LT Snack (bun or croissant) 4 LT Juice 4 LT Coffee or tea 5 LT
Distribution channels
For the first years we are planning to have three restaurants on wheels, whose location could be changed according to the demand. But most attractive locations for us are the business centers which are located not in the city center. In these business centers approximately are working about 25000 people which are a lot promising to create a demand for our restaurants. After lunch hours we are planning to move into places that are popular among youth it is park areas or campuses of universities, also during the weekends in the warm period of the year we will participate in sport events.
Marketing communications
Our first marketing communication would be the leaflets. Leaflets will be distributed among the business centers employees to create as much awareness as we can, because this is our main target group. In most of the Lithuanias offices we could see a trend of listening to the normal or internet radio and broadcasting our advertising through popular radio stations we will reach our main target group and other potential customers. Also we will use banner advertising in popular news internet pages, because a lot of people are reading news there during the work time and another marketing communication would the promotion through Facebook, where we could announce our menu.
Marketing research
To understand our main target group needs we will do the survey, as a sample we will take about 1000 people from business center. We think that this sample will be big enough to represent the needs of whole population of our main target group. We will create a questionnaires which will help to improve our decision making and help to avoid serious problems in the future, and people who will participate in our survey we will give a free cup of coffee or tea.
Marketing budget
We plan that our marketing budget would be about 20000 Lt. To print 100000 leaflets will cost about 2000 Lt, we hope this would be enough to get awareness between the business people in the offices. In May we will launch the one month advertising broadcast in the radio station in which one month cost about 10000 Lt. After three months in September we will launch the 3 month banner advertising campaign which in total will cost about 7500 Lt. Nowadays most effective and attracting the most attention of consumers is promotion through the Facebook, which is for free. In our plans our marketing budget should not exceed the 20000 Lt.
OPERATIONS PLAN
Physical location
For the first three years we are planning to use our mobile restaurants as headquarter. As the shelf of the restaurant has enough places for the kitchen, we might use some space for the tables and computers. The places of headquarters naturally become the place where are our restaurants located.
Our main targeted regions, as mentioned in the beginning of this business plan, are the places where the most business centers are located, later we might move to the universities territories and expand to other cities (Kaunas, Klaipeda, Riga and Tallinn). Business centers are probably the safest place to keep and locate our mobile restaurants during nights, as there is plenty of security over there.
Day to day activities
Our mobile restaurants will operate from 07:00 to 23:00, all week long, which means that each restaurant will have 1.5 shifts. Our company, for the first two-year is planning to employ 3 chefs, 5 sales people and 2 general managers, in total there will be 10 employees. Management Activities
For the first year of operation, general managers main daily tasks will involve mainly directing and coordination the activities of the business and the departments concerned with sales, organization and distribution. They will have to develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of the working procedures. For the first year of operations, the general managers will prepare and assign specific duties for the sales people. They will mainly be concerned with serving and attracting as many customers as possible. The general manager will also be responsible on signing the contracts with the future suppliers and partners. He will provide support in managing projects run by the project manager, including execution in a timely, accurate and consistent manner the allocation of resources. The general manager will prepare and review budgets on the regularly base gathering information for planning of the future expenses, and allocating cash resources where needed. Moreover, he will summarize and consolidate the budget estimates. Sales activities
We will have 5 sales people, whom duties will involve working with cash registers, serving customers, cleaning restaurant place, preparing outside tables and driving mobile restaurants to the places where those restaurants will be located. They are a very important part of business, as company performance will very strongly depend on their performance. Even though we will have 3 mobile restaurants in the first few years we will need 5 sales people because there will be one and a half shift, so that all the people would get appropriate working time.
People
Leadership
General Manager (salary range: LTL 3000/ month LTL 4000/ month) Is the person driving force behind the company; he or she will make things happen, put together resources to support the company and take the products and services to the market place. The individual is the leader of the organization, its duties being handling external relations with the companys suppliers, customers and partners. Also, the individual is in charge of controlling the team and evaluating the performance of each individual. The General Manager will be the person who will set goals for each mobile restaurant, and the one that will ensure the goals are met.
Employees
Sales person (salary range: LTL 1500/ month LTL 2500/ month) Is the person that is responsible for the operations of the mobile restaurant; he or she will guide work together with kitchen chefs and will be responsible for serving the clients, for the visual looks of the restaurants (cleanliness) and responsible that there are enough supplies.

Chef (salary range: LTL 2500/ month LTL 3500/ month) Is the person that is responsible for everything in the kitchen; he or she will take all the responsibilities of all the food. Duties of a chef are to ensure the taste, visual looks and healthiness of the food. Chefs will also be responsible for creating daily menus, cleaning working place and making list of all needed products.
External Service providers
Contracted Accountant/bookkeeper (expenditures range: LTL 8.000/year LTL 12.000/year) This company will be in charge of the primary responsibility for our company financial records, making sure the appropriate taxes are paid. They are also in charge of overseeing the efficient use of funds related to tasks. Also, they will work closely with the companys clients in preparation, explanation and verification of any financial paperwork. Another major task accountants/bookkeepers have is in helping customers go over their budgeting and help them make plans for future investments.
Training programs
Our company is planning to have only one training program for the first few years. This training program will be for both, chefs and sales people. Training program will include all the instructions how to operate the mobile restaurant, as operating this machinery requires special trainings. Training will also include main instructions of what to do in case of technical failure and etc. We are planning to have this training a month before our mobile restaurants will start to operate.
Facilities
Mobile restaurant
We are planning to buy 3 mobile restaurant facilities for the first few year. Mobile restaurant will consist of truck, restaurant shelf, storage compartment and office shelf. Complete restaurant costs 660.000 LTL excluding kitchen and other necessary equipment. Equipment
Main expenditures for our mobile restaurants equipment will go to the kitchen equipment, which will cost 200.000 LTL for each mobile restaurant. Other equipment expenditures will consists of cash registers, office equipment and software. The total price for this equipment will be 50.000 LTL
Quality Control Systems
Sales Person will be responsible for the quality control, because he will receive the products from our suppliers and in most cases will be the most frequent member who will mostly communicate with the customers. For sure we trust our supplier VILSIDA, because the brand name speaks for itself and guarantees the quality, but to be sure our Sales Person, as I have mentioned before, will supervise every shipment. In the supervision also will be involved our restaurant Chef who will evaluate the freshness and quality level of the food. Chefs opinion is most important, because he is preparing the dishes and is the person who is responsible that our customers will be satisfied by our product. Service quality control also will be the duty of our Sales Person, because his task would be to initiate conversation with the customers that they could share opinion about the service. Little surveys among our visitors will help to improve our service and ensure the sustainability in our activities long time period.
Major Suppliers of key resources
In restaurant businesses one of the main key resources is food, because our menu will consist of various courses, including drinks, soups snacks and main dishes, we will need strong supplier partnership, which could provide qualitative food in time. Mobile restaurant is planning to create partnership with one of the biggest food suppliers in Lithuania named VILSIDA. UAB VILSIDA was established in 1997 and through the years have created reliable brand image. Years of experience and cooperation with foreign partners from Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia and biggest local retail chain brands such as Maxima, Iki and Rimi led to a wide range of quality products, various flavors and favorable prices. Collaboration with such supplier will guarantee the highest quality and lowest prices in the market.
Management Control
At the top of our companys structure will be General Manager who is the driving force of our mobile restaurants. Regular review meetings will be organized in every beginning of the week, where all the team members could share their opinion and observations about the improvement of the procedures in service and product preparation. Direct supervision will be used to find out about the performance of every employee and if some weaknesses will be noted, training will be provided to raise employees skills. Sales Persons and Chefs will provide their reports to General Manager, if anything has changed in the process and why, also provide suggestions how to fix the problem and share the future plans how to avoid the arising difficulties. The biggest control force will be reflected in the financial statement, which must be prepared in every three months. There would be easiest way to check and measure performance, because number never lies and shows have you reached your set tasks and plans.
FINANCIAL PLAN
Summary
In Vilnius there are about 400 cafs and restaurants, most of them are located in the city center. For business people, who work in business centers distant from the old town arise a problem, how to have a time to drive to nice restaurant, to dine and come back to work during one hour length lunch break.
Sales revenue forecast
According to the data collected by tv show Pinig karta(Cash generation) regular business lunch cost are in the interval from 10 to 26 Litas. Business lunch menu mostly offer a soup of the day, main dish or salad, also sometimes it includes a juice, coffee or tea, and very rarely it offers desert or snacks. In cafs where business lunch cost about 10 to 13 Litas you will get a shoddy food which is not as good quality, but people who get less than average income it is the solution. Average income in Lithuanias capital Vilnius are approximately about 2500 Litas, people with such income search for higher quality food and are ready to spend from 15 to 25 Litas for lunch.
Sources of revenue
The main idea to sell our dishes is to sell them near business centers. There are 3 business centers where in each work around 5000 people, this makes a total of around 15000 people just in 3 business centers. There are around 20 smaller business centers each having around 500 people working in, which makes additional 10000 potential customers. Added these two numbers together we get around 25000 of potential customers.
The first thing we should do is to decide how many mobile restaurants we need, and where could we park them in lunchtime. The map shows how business centers are spread. All red dots mark business center, bigger red dot marks a business center where works more than 2000 people.
As we can see from the map we need at least 3 mobile restaurants. With 3 mobile restaurants we would be able to reach around 12000 customers, for them it would require not more than 5-minute walk to reach our restaurant. Each mobile restaurant would have around 4000 potential customers only from business centers. Potential customers estimation
We are estimating that in the first year our real expectation could be to attract around 8 percent on average of potential customers. That would make around 320 customers per day per one mobile restaurant. We are also planning to attract another 100 customers from the street per one mobile restaurant. That would make around 420 customers per one mobile restaurant per working day.
We are planning that we could launch our first three mobile restaurants no earlier than in the beginning of April, even though the company would start its activities early in January.

First year revenue
As we will start our activities only in the beginning of April we will have a not full year of revenue, which means that for the first year our company will have a big loss. For the second year we are planning on break-even strategy.

As we can see from the first year income statement the company will face a very big loss, which is 35711 Lt, the reasons are due to the not full revenue year and that we will not be able to attract the customers immediately. For the first year we need high marketing expenses, also we need to train our new employees how to deal with all the equipment. We should not forget that we will have to rent spaces for our mobile restaurants from city municipality or private enterprises which will significantly increase our operating expenses. For the second year, we can see a much different situation, as our company should more-less reach a break-even point. The reasons are that our sales will increase significantly which will also increase revenues. We are also planning to spend less money o marketing, because the foundation for companys marketing will be built in the first year. For the second year we are also planning les parking spaces expenses, the reasons are that we will get in touch with the enterprises and municipality from whom we rent parking spaces and hopefully we will get some discounts. We will also not have any training expenses as the employees will have right skills from the second year. According to approximate calculations, the restaurant will break even in the middle of March of the third operational year. During this month the total costs and total revenues will be equal. Cash flow schedule

It is expected that the beginning cash balance will be 3001500 Lt. Our Company will take a loan in order to operate. The number is extremely high, because we will heavily spend money on purchasing restaurant equipment and marketing activities. Also, the company needs this cash for buying goods from suppliers. Cash inflow will consist of money from investments and sales. Revenue will start to occur only in April, when all our restaurants will start to operate. Thus, cash inflow of the first year is calculated for 9 months (from April till December).
Cash outflows
Cash outflow will consist of different expenses. Firs expenses will be associated with purchasing all the equipment we need, after that there will be we months of no expenses as our company will wait for the arrival of all ordered equipment. Our company will use this time to find parking places, suppliers of all the goods and partners. In March, registration of the business costs will appear. In April, the store will pay for the ordered equipment. Many expenses will start to occur on April. It is expected that we will start our operations in this months. Thus, the company will start to pay rent and utilities expenses. The company will start to pay for marketing activities. Also, the company will find employees for operating the store. Thus, training costs will appear. Finally, the company will start to order food and non- food goods. Thus, the company wont be empty on December 31. Overall, the store will have ending cash balance of 212289 Lt at the end of December.

Financing strategy
Our company will need 3001500 Lt in order to operate before the organization will become profitable.
1st option
Mobile restaurant will apply to the organization INVEGA that will help to get EU support. The store has a great social value, as well as good opportunities to prosper. Thus, there is a possibility to convince the organization, as well as EU, to give a loan. INVEGA Company do not give their own money, instead they help businesses to take a loan, by giving guaranties to banks or EU that the business will be able to repay the loan. The company does not need to apply to the INVEGA, they apply straight to the bank, and INVEGA accept or reject the business plan. The maximum loan that the INVEGA can guarantee is 5000000 Lt. However, our needs only 3001500Lt. Thus, the store will take a loan of 2800000 Lt for 28 years.
2nd option
If EU will not give a loan, then, the company will try to apply to the organization Verslo angelai. We will try to get the maximum amount we need, which is 2800000. In exchange of money the company will give 30% of its shares to the business angels, and 20% of its annual profit. However, it is expected that the 1st option will work and the store will get EY support.
The company will get additional 201500 Lt from owners, who are Arnoldas and Vytautas; each of us will give the same amount and will have the same part of companys shares. Thus, these options will help to the store to get 3001500 Lt for operations. This money will be spend on operations during 3 years, until the store will be able to generate profits.
GROWTH STRATEGY
Mobile restaurant idea is viable and has potential to grow through the years if the right strategy would be chosen. Whole concept of mobile restaurant idea consists from two words healthy and fast. Nowadays people are concerned about their lifestyle and want to come back to the old, healthy lifestyle. The pace of life is getting faster and faster through the years and anyhow could stop it. The surveys coming from the west shows that fast food and high speed of life decreases life expectancy by many years and makes people to desire for changes. This creates a niche for green food restaurants where food is healthy and beneficial for your body and soul. This new trend has created a demand for new profitable healthy food business, which is gaining popularity all around the world, including the Lithuania too. The new green restaurant chain in Lithuania TakeWay is expanding in enormous speed and has enormous success among other restaurants. Our future growth strategy is to collaborate with TakeWay, because they are growing very fast and already has strong basis under their feet. Both restaurants Mobile restaurant and TakeWay declare themselves as healthy and fast and could create a partnership with big potential to become strong successful brand not only Lithuania, but also in the region of Baltic countries, without changing their nature and prime strategies. The benefit for us would be that we would have a strong back behind us, which would help us to become more popular among youth, because TakeWay visitors are mostly from 15 to 23 years old, and benefit we bring in the collaboration is that our main customer auditorium is more solid, because our target market consist of businessmen who are from 20 to 35 years old. This cooperation will help to capitalize this trend 100 percent and become strongest players in the market. After fulfilling these objectives we could create a chain of normal TakeWay and Mobile TakeWay restaurants, which could sell franchise to other countries such as Latvia and Estonia. This growth strategy is valid and has big potential, because pizzas and other fast food are the past and now it is time for new business.
