SF CTE ACADEMY NOTES:
This is the first year for their instructor to bring a team to State Competition. Here are a few of the things I have noticed regarding this proposal for a Food Truck Concept.
This is the first year for their instructor to bring a team to State Competition. Here are a few of the things I have noticed regarding this proposal for a Food Truck Concept.
- It is missing a few key items that are required in the proposal.
- Review Org Chart for Food Truck Concept.
- The required Recipe/Costing/Menu forms were not used. Should look at costing a main featured items, not a side, in my opinion.
- Menu - Does not include pricing for all items/ more than 12 items
- Photos - max 2 pages allowed, they use 3
- Marketing Tactics - Need 2 - they have 1 tactic

MITCHELL CTE ACADEMY NOTES:
Food Trucks are popular. :) Overall their proposal looks pretty good, with just a few items to mention below.
Food Trucks are popular. :) Overall their proposal looks pretty good, with just a few items to mention below.
- Interior/Décor: Window area - I question, what the purpose is for all of that space. What can it be used for besides taking orders. I question the karaoke machine and its purpose
- Menu: Smoothies - Buy cup (see marketing tactic) they spend $6 for cup - should include the initial cost under the smoothie description. They have exactly 12 items. Smoothies are one size, which only counts as 1 menu item, multiple flavors for their 1 item.
- Marketing: I would want their logo on the cup to further advertise their business. Might be a good question to ask.

MADISON HIGH SCHOOL NOTES:
Yep, food trucks are the top choice! Overall their proposal looks great. Maybe review the following:
Yep, food trucks are the top choice! Overall their proposal looks great. Maybe review the following:
- Décor: they do not provide any visual of the food truck from the outside, although their description is pretty good. It could be located on their posters.
- Menu: 12 Items - They have 12 items, but I noticed they indicate that the salads and wraps can be made into either type of meal, so I am checking with National ProStart to see if they would exceed their menu items in this instance.
- Marketing Tactics: I do not feel in this draft the tactics they provided fall within the rules. Hopefully they update this prior to competition.
Below please find your judge assignments. The rules review section page numbers (listed above) are next to your assignment. These indicate the section in the rules to study, however I encourage you to review the rules in their entirety. The scoring rubrics are available above.
