FEASIBILITY STUDY

INTRODUCTION The Philippines has a tropical maritime climate and is usually hot and humid. There are three seasons: tag-init or tag-araw, the hot dry season or summer from March to May; tag-ulan, the rainy season from June to November; and tag-lamig, the cool dry season from December to February. Since the Philippines has a hot climate to begin with, we decided to grab the opportunity to build a business that will cater to this kind of weather and to start a new trend regarding food service and food trucks here in the Philippines. Food trucks are a culinary trend in America, And by this reckoning, we might treat food trucks as the latest food fad in the Philippines. Our economy is growing, every people are on the go we need speed, motion, and transport, and we dwell on this as

our

latest

take

on

"fast-food”.

So why ice cream? Ice cream doesn’t have a specific market; it can cater to everyone, kids, teens and adults. Since our location has a big market for adults, we decided to add coffee in our menu. Because coffee is the trend nowadays, we take this opportunity to accommodate to this coffee lover people and add coffee ice cream flavors and a special espresso mud pie just for them. Another part of our market is the kids and teens; we cater them by adding colorful ice creams, different kinds of toppings and encourage testing their creativity by letting them self service in what toppings to put in their ice cream. With all this perks, the Fuzione is starting a trend regarding food service and food trucks

I. BACKGROUND

Fuzione is a feasibility study revolving around the concept of food trucks in a fast food service. The idea behind this novelty concept of bringing food trucks as a new trend here in the Philippines came from six undergraduate hotel and restaurant management students from the Cavite State University – Imus Campus. This is in partial fulfillment of the course requirements in facilities and planning design. The group believes that a mobile food truck business will set a new trend in the food service industry.
