Sales Forecast

One thing is certain when it comes to vegan food truck business, if your vegan foods are well-prepared, packaged and branded and if your vegan food truck is easily accessible, you will always attract customers sales and that will sure translate to increase in revenue for the business.

We are well positioned to take on the available market in San Francisco – California and every city where our vegan food will be sold and we are quite optimistic that we will meet our set target of generating enough income/profits from the first six months of operation and grow the business and our clientele base.

We have been able to examine the food truck industry, we have analyzed our chances in the industry and we have been able to come up with the following sales forecast. Below is the sales projection for ABC Vegan Food Truck, it is based on the location of our business and other factors as it relates to small scale and medium scale vegan food truck startups in the United States;

· First Fiscal Year (FY1): $240,000

· Second Fiscal Year (FY2): $350,000

· Third Fiscal Year (FY3): $550,000

This projection was done based on what is obtainable in the industry and with the assumption that there won’t be any major economic meltdown and there won’t be any major competitor offering same products as we do within same location where our vegan food trucks will transverse. Please note that the above projection might be lower and at the same time it might be higher.
