Organizational Plan
Vision
Operating out of Gallatin County Montana, Good Eats strives to bring nutritious, fast,
and locally sourced food to consumers on the go.
Mission
We will serve locally sourced, healthy foods to customers on the go. The local
community farms and something close to home will inspire the food. Not only will the
food and drinks be tasteful, but also energy packed to keep you going through the day. Our
aim is to keep the customer in mind and keep our prices affordable.
Type of foodservice
Good Eats is a mobile food truck operating as a commercial, limited service, limited
menu foodservice operation. Bozeman does not have a wide range of choices when it
comes to healthy fast options, this mobile food truck can provide both of those options to
the busy population of Bozeman.
Operating practices
As a mobile food truck serving the people of Bozeman for lunch on the go, we will be
a small business in the form of a partnership. This partnership will allow for increased
sources of knowledge, ability, and capital. It is also easy to initiate and the owners will
avoid double taxation.

Description of Menu
Good Eats is a mobile foodservice operation. A static menu will be offered with
specials rotating on a weekly basis. The menu will be altered on a seasonal basis to
incorporate foods that are in season, locally and regionally. Foods will be offered a la carte
so that patrons can purchase anything from a snack of hummus and veggies, to a soup and
salad combo. Good Eats is a lunch only foodservice with a focus on providing quick, healthy
food options for people on the go.
Menu influences
Inspired by the lack of quality, healthy food available on MSUs campus, Good Eats
strives to provide low cost, homemade, quality food to lunch crowds. Bozeman is an active,
healthy community that looks for foods that enhance and compliment this lifestyle. Top
restaurant trends indicate that customers desire sustainably sourced food and green
practices. With a strong local foods movement, Bozeman is the ideal customer base to offer
locally sourced foods to. Because Bozeman is a university town, students will be a large
part of the customer base targeted by Good Eats. Prices will be kept as low as possible to
ensure that no one is priced out of eating quality, healthy foods. With the goal of reaching a
broad range of customers, Good Eats will be a mobile foodservice establishment that offers
a minimalistic but quality menu.

Functional Food Service

Flow of Food
In our foodservice operation, we will be using a ready prepared system of food
production. This will be most useful in our food truck, since the only process that will need
to be completed when the customer orders is meal assembly. Our food will be prepared in
a decentralized manner in which the food preparation will take place in a commercial
kitchen and then transported to the food truck, where meals will be assembled prior to
delivery to customer. We will be using a cook chill process; soups will be completely
cooked then chilled so the reheating process will be timely and flavor will not be
compromised by freezing. Our sandwiches and a la carte items will also be prepared at the
commercial kitchen and stored chilled at both the kitchen and the truck. A diagram of this
process is indicated below.

Kitchen Design
For our kitchen design, two diagrams and explanations are needed as we have two
locations for our foodservice; one is the commercial kitchen we will be using to receive,
prepare and store food and the other is the food truck in which hot holding, chilled storage
and meal assembly will take place. We will be renting space in a commercial kitchen so
most of the specifics of the materials used there will already be decided. However some
recommendations in the kitchen are to have floors made from a type of urethane mortar or
vinyl, which is easy to clean and resistant to heat and chemicals. The lighting will need to
be direct in order for optimal sight of food preparation. Our equipment will need to be
made out of metal and have proper ventilation hoods in cooking appliances. In the
commercial kitchen we will require a stove to cook our soups and macaroni and cheese, a
large oven for baking breads, a food processor to make our hummus, a refrigerator/freezer,
and adequate knives, cutting boards and prep space for the rest of our activities. We will
buy a used food truck that is in good condition in order to save money on initial start up
costs of the business. The exterior of the truck will be 24 by 8. The kitchen interior will be
16 by 7 and 6.5 tall. For an energy source we will use a propane generator, which is not as
sustainable as we would like but a solar powered food truck is not exactly feasible. Other
possible options for energy, depending on where we park, include a bartering system with
a local business in which we will be allowed to plug into their electric in exchange for free
lunches for the employees of the business we choose. This will increase community
connectedness as well. In the food truck we will also need direct lighting fixtures using LED
lights to ensure energy sustainability. The floors will be made using seamless membrane
polyurethane to ensure easy maintenance, durability and low slippage. The equipment we
will need includes a ventilation system that will allow for three employees to work in the
truck kitchen at one time, such at the Panasonic Energy Star certified 290 CFM ceiling
exhaust; a stove such as a portable Chef-master butane stove; next to the stove there will be
3 commercial soup warmers such as the stainless steel Avantco warmers; and a small
stainless steel Energy Star certified refrigerator. Using the Energy Star certified equipment
will help us be more sustainable. Though these products are sometimes more expensive,
the reduction of energy costs will save us money in the long term.

Procurement
Suppliers
One of Good Eats main suppliers will be Root Cellar Foods for all processed
vegetables that grow locally. Root Cellar Foods will provide fresh produce that is chopped,
pureed, frozen, shredded, etc. Market Day Foods will be used to procure local farmer goods
from the multiple farms in Gallatin and surrounding counties. Direct contracting with
Amaltheia Dairy, Three Hearts Farm, Townes Harvest, Three Fiddles Farm, Gallatin Valley
Botanical and Rocky Creek Farm will provide items that each farm can specialize in and
produce in bulk. Good Eats will contract with each of these farms for their niche product.
Good Eats will market to those looking for a quick healthy meal, whether it be in between
classes or during the business lunch break. The food truck will be for those that prefer to
eat locally and are health conscious. All cleaning products, paper service items, disposable
utensils, etc. will be sourced from the sysco eco-friendly line. These items will be
biodegradable.

Receiving plan
Good Eats will purchase as much as possible from local farmers and producers. All
products that can be contracted locally will be done so based on the best price farmer. For
the ingredients needed that cannot be supplied locally, a fixed bid will be in place with
Sysco for items such as salt, pepper, spices, cleaning products, paper service items, etc. The
items that the farmers within Gallatin Valley and surrounding counties have to offer will be
bid on and purchased accordingly. The manager will be the purchase coordinator that will
be responsible for all buying and contracting for the company. The food products will be
delivered to our commercial kitchen on two set receiving days. Sysco will deliver directly;
Root cellar foods and market day foods will deliver on the receiving days. Products
contracted directly with farms will have to be picked up by Good Eats purchase coordinator
at the farms on a contracted picks up day. The receiving clerk will implement invoice
receiving. The clerk will complete inspection against the purchase order and invoice.
Quantity will be checked against the purchase order. There will be an official acceptance or
rejection of orders and that will be followed up with completion of receiving records that
will be checked by the clerk.
Storage plan
Dry goods, fresh produce and serving/cleaning products will be separated.
The first step in having food properly stored within the organization will begin with
employee training. All team members will be required to take and pass a food safety class
in order to ensure everyone has adequate training. The next step in proper storage involves
the keeping raw meats and dairy separate from produce. Storage unit, fridge/freezer will
have designated shelving for each type of product with vegetables and fruit on top followed
by dairy in middle and raw food (meat) on bottom. All food will be in containers labeled for
the class of food in order to help prevent cross-contamination as well as be dated with the
time and date for additional safety.. All containers will be properly cleaned and sterilized
13
Good Eats

after each use. The third measure for proper food storage will involve temperature control.
All storage units will have temperature gauges and a corresponding log sheet to record
temperatures and times (at least twice a day).
Inventory Record
The overall inventory philosophy will be run as a Perpetual Inventory system. This
system, with the exception of fresh produce, will allows us to have a better understanding
of our product usage and costs on a daily basis. This type of system is a must for small
businesses. The ability to know quickly what is being purchased and used allows for
flexibility and the chance to quickly respond to consumer preference and market variation.
In addition there will be a system in place for direct issuance of goods; ex. fresh produce;
that will be used on the day of delivery. Daily tracking of direct issuance, in conjunction
with regular inventory, will help to track waste and help increase efficiency.
Food Production
Production Forecasting
For our food service operation we will be using a moving average forecast, a type of
time series model. This will be effective for short-term decisions. For each item we sell, we
can measure how much is sold each day over the past week. First, the average number of
each item sold for the first 5 days will be calculated (by adding up the total sold and
dividing it by 5). Then the amount of each item sold for days 2 through 6 will be calculated
and divided by 5. This will give us a moving average that will smooth out any variations
from different days and give an accurate forecasting number. It will be important to keep in
mind any important days that may occur during the forecasting period, such as big events
or holidays that can increase or decrease sales. This type of model is convenient because it
can use a computer program such as excel to find averages and graphs of the trends. An
existing employee, likely a manager of some sort will use this computer program to
complete the steps to help decrease costs. The disadvantage is that it could be time
consuming.

Sustainability
23
Good Eats
11/12/2014
Within the functional subsystem of food production, there are practices that can be
employed to make the foodservice more sustainable. One key area to refine is that of the
standardized menu. By streamlining the preparation that goes into a menu item and
always producing it in the same way, there is less room for error - namely
overproduction. According to the EPA, about 100 billion pounds of food waste are
produced each year (Gregoire, p 196). It is essential that Good Eats not be a large
contributor to this number. If some overproduction does occur, steps will be taken to form
partnerships with local services such as the Community Cafe so that excess food can be
donated. If donation is not possible all extra food will be composted. As Good Eats is grab
and go establishment, we will be relying solely on to-go containers. Purchasing recyclable
materials will be standard procedure. Where allowed, earth-friendly cleaning products
will be used. As the business progresses, additional opportunities will arise where
sustainable practices can be employed.
Distribution
Factors Influencing Foodservice
Good Eats will be using a decentralized food service distribution in which the food
will be prepared at the commercial kitchen and then transported to the food truck for meal
assembly. The soups will be prepared and then cooled until transport to the truck, they will
be reheated on a stove-top in the commercial kitchen, poured them into metal soup
containers and transfer to soup warmers in the truck, that will be parked outside the
kitchen for transport from kitchen to different locations. A similar process for the macaroni
and cheese will be utilized. This process is an example of a covered tray method. This
process is low cost and simple. However, it will require coordination within the business as
to the efficiency and quickness between reheating and transfer to truck. Good Eats will use
a convection oven to initially make the breads or pick up from locally bakery, depending on
the type of bread, and a microwave to quickly reheat the items, such as cornbread, before
serving. All items will be prepared between 1 and 4 days before being sold, taking into
account time and temperature control for safety. Sandwiches, a la carte items and salads
will be premade and packaged at the commercial kitchen so that when they are needed for
the food truck they can simply be moved to refrigerators in the truck the morning before
service. Ideally most of these items will be made the day before or day of to ensure
freshness. If Good Eats expects a large quantity of sales of a certain item those items may be
prepared a few days prior. The distance between production and service will be about 10
miles.

for $5, will allow customers from a wide variety of backgrounds to shop their beliefs. The
potential of a complete nutritious meal for less than $10 allows smaller niche markets

mobility will allow the business to bring the product to the customer by placing the food
truck in convenient locations that allow for quick and easy purchasing by the consumer. By
providing a range of food options, including sandwiches and rotating soups, Good Eats will
also be targeting customers that want options other than tacos and burgers. Word of mouth

Meals, Satisfaction, and Accountability

Sensory Analysis
Texture, flavor and appearance of the Good Eats menu items will be tested through
affective sensory testing. The consumers themselves will evaluate product acceptance and
likeliness of purchase. They will be an untrained panel of food lovers and critics who are
hand selected by the founding members of Good Eats. The consumer panel will consist of
50 persons that will represent the target market. New menu items will be evaluated and
their scores will be compared to those of old menu items that have been evaluated in the
past. The menu items will be evaluated again to ensure consistent products and
satisfaction. An acceptance and preference sensory test will evaluate whether or not people
like an item. An overall preference score will be obtained for each item. Recipe testing
could conclude that one recipe is not better than another or that a definite change should
be made based on overwhelming preference scores. Old and new recipes will be compared
as well as existing items against other current recipes. Preference scores will be made
based on panelists ranking items and evaluating qualities from test forms that will be
created by the manager for each recipe on the menu.
Customer Satisfaction
To maintain customer satisfaction, comment cards that include survey questions
will be located at the window where customers pay. They will be free to take a card and
deposit it in a concealed box to the side of the service window. It will be placed in a free
access area so that the customer has a chance to fill out the comment card and not have to
wait or be in line to deposit the card. Questions on the comment card will include food
quality, portion satisfaction, atmosphere evaluation, service quality, etc. The end of the
customer satisfaction card will have an open comment section that will allow customers to
explain their experience and reasons for rating in the way that they did.
29

Employee Satisfaction
Employee satisfaction will be evaluated at weekly staff huddles that will be
mandatory and paid. The huddles will be 1-2 hours and will not be during business hours.
During the huddle, the manager will open up the meeting with discussion about the week
and any other comments or concerns of the staff members. The manager will also discuss
events that have happened during the week that need to be addressed. All discussion
factors will be recorded in a weekly huddle binder to track any trends or re-occurring
issues. The end of the huddle will be concluded with an opportunity for each employee to
do a personal write-up that will be reviewed by the manager. The manager will review the
write-ups that evening and any further action will be made accordingly. All huddle
comments and personal write-ups will be recorded.

Food Production
Production Forecasting
For our food service operation we will be using a moving average forecast, a type of
time series model. This will be effective for short-term decisions. For each item we sell, we
can measure how much is sold each day over the past week. First, the average number of
each item sold for the first 5 days will be calculated (by adding up the total sold and
dividing it by 5). Then the amount of each item sold for days 2 through 6 will be calculated
and divided by 5. This will give us a moving average that will smooth out any variations
from different days and give an accurate forecasting number. It will be important to keep in
mind any important days that may occur during the forecasting period, such as big events
or holidays that can increase or decrease sales. This type of model is convenient because it
can use a computer program such as excel to find averages and graphs of the trends. An
existing employee, likely a manager of some sort will use this computer program to
complete the steps to help decrease costs. The disadvantage is that it could be time
consuming.

Sustainability
Within the functional subsystem of food production, there are practices that can be
employed to make the foodservice more sustainable. One key area to refine is that of the
standardized menu. By streamlining the preparation that goes into a menu item and
always producing it in the same way, there is less room for error - namely
overproduction. According to the EPA, about 100 billion pounds of food waste are
produced each year (Gregoire, p 196). It is essential that Good Eats not be a large
contributor to this number. If some overproduction does occur, steps will be taken to form
partnerships with local services such as the Community Cafe so that excess food can be
donated. If donation is not possible all extra food will be composted. As Good Eats is grab
and go establishment, we will be relying solely on to-go containers. Purchasing recyclable
materials will be standard procedure. Where allowed, earth-friendly cleaning products
will be used. As the business progresses, additional opportunities will arise where
sustainable practices can be employed.

Distribution
Factors Influencing Foodservice
Good Eats will be using a decentralized food service distribution in which the food
will be prepared at the commercial kitchen and then transported to the food truck for meal
assembly. The soups will be prepared and then cooled until transport to the truck, they will
be reheated on a stove-top in the commercial kitchen, poured them into metal soup
containers and transfer to soup warmers in the truck, that will be parked outside the
kitchen for transport from kitchen to different locations. A similar process for the macaroni
and cheese will be utilized. This process is an example of a covered tray method. This
process is low cost and simple. However, it will require coordination within the business as
to the efficiency and quickness between reheating and transfer to truck. Good Eats will use
a convection oven to initially make the breads or pick up from locally bakery, depending on
the type of bread, and a microwave to quickly reheat the items, such as cornbread, before
serving. All items will be prepared between 1 and 4 days before being sold, taking into
account time and temperature control for safety. Sandwiches, a la carte items and salads
will be premade and packaged at the commercial kitchen so that when they are needed for
the food truck they can simply be moved to refrigerators in the truck the morning before
service. Ideally most of these items will be made the day before or day of to ensure

could conclude that one recipe is not better than another or that a definite change should
be made based on overwhelming preference scores. Old and new recipes will be compared
as well as existing items against other current recipes. Preference scores will be made
based on panelists ranking items and evaluating qualities from test forms that will be
created by the manager for each recipe on the menu.
Customer Satisfaction
To maintain customer satisfaction, comment cards that include survey questions
will be located at the window where customers pay. They will be free to take a card and
deposit it in a concealed box to the side of the service window. It will be placed in a free
access area so that the customer has a chance to fill out the comment card and not have to
wait or be in line to deposit the card. Questions on the comment card will include food
quality, portion satisfaction, atmosphere evaluation, service quality, etc. The end of the
customer satisfaction card will have an open comment section that will allow customers to
explain their experience and reasons for rating in the way that they did.

mandatory and paid. The huddles will be 1-2 hours and will not be during business hours.
During the huddle, the manager will open up the meeting with discussion about the week
and any other comments or concerns of the staff members. The manager will also discuss
events that have happened during the week that need to be addressed. All discussion
factors will be recorded in a weekly huddle binder to track any trends or re-occurring
issues. The end of the huddle will be concluded with an opportunity for each employee to
do a personal write-up that will be reviewed by the manager. The manager will review the

Supervising
The productivity level required for Good Eats will be 10 meals per hour. Average
meal price is $5 and two hired employees will be on staff. One employee will be in charge of
the cash register and the other will responsible for putting the food items together as they
are sold. Each hired employee will be paid $9 per hour. There will then be an employee cost
of $18 per hour. If at least ten meals are sold within the hour at $5 per meal, there will be a
gross revenue of $50. Food costs allowed for each $5 food item is $2. This leaves a net
48
Good Eats
11/12/2014
revenue of $30. After paying the $18 per hour for employees, that leaves $22 at net revenue
per hour after costs. The staff hired will be full time. We will need 4 total part time
employees to cover the 11-4 open hours. Two full time staff will be hired to fill in during
the rush hours as well. One manager will always be on duty working the entire 11-4 shift
along with the two hired employees. Good Eats will be open seven days a week for 5 hours
a day creating 35 total working hours a week and two staff needed per day. For the 70
hours of hired hours needed, four part time employees will be hired to fill these hours.
They can plan on working 15-20 hours a week.
Maintaining
Productivity measures the ratio of input to output. It can be done using the following
equations:
Total employee hours * wage/hour = employee costs
Average meal price * meals sold per hour = gross revenue
Gross revenue - total food cost per item = food net revenue
Food net revenue - employee cost s= total productivity per hour of business
This equation is best for measuring Good Eats productivity because it accounts for the
efficiency of hours of service and accounts for employee costs as well as food costs.

innovative category. This organizational style is the perfect fit for a small group of
employees that are invested in seeing the business succeed. With everyone on the team
participating in company decisions and strategies, a clear sense of ownership exists

opportunity for recognition of each individuals contribution. In addition, breaking the
team into sub-groups that focus on various business aspects such as production, marketing,
customer service etc. will improve the quality of work life experienced for all team
members. When a high QWL exists under a highly skilled, both professionally and
personally; manager/owner, the companys mission statement is clarified and easier to
achieve.
