Garden.
For the advertising and marketing purpose we will use Social media such as Facebook and
Instagram and Print Media such as Banners and Brochures, in future we will go for Electronic
We are starting our business in Islamabad area and we target different picnic points, parks and
heritage places. The reason behind to target picnic points, parks and heritage places is that every
1
day a large number of people visit there from Islamabad, Rawalpindi, other cities of Pakistan and
from outside the Pakistan also it helps us to target more customers every day. The other reason is
that there is no proper restaurant working there, only small cafes, canteens or stalls are there and
the quality and taste of food is not good, we aim to provide people with hygienic and tasty food.
We will expand our business by increasing vehicles and we will move to other cities as well.
In Pakistan very less, mobile food businesses are operating such as in Islamabad Le Rollers are
providing fast food, the other food trucks such as Cook n Bake, Twin Cities Food Van, The Food
Truck, Taste Buds they are offering bakery items such as cap cakes and sweets such as ice-
cream. While in Lahore there is only one mobile food business is operating name as The Food
Truck Company. Mobile food industry is a new industry in Pakistan and it is unique concept in
the context of Pakistan. There is a very less competition and the business opportunities are very
high.

running in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi. In Islamabad 3 to 4 food trucks/vans businesses are
operating, while in Lahore and Karachi only one food truck business is there.
The food truck/van concept simply helps the owners to establish their food stalls in busy areas
with minimum cost by establishing these restaurants in a truck/van which is equipped with
necessary facilities which are required for a restaurant. We will acquire a Van which will have

4. The Industry
Food industry in Pakistan is among the largest industries with a rapid growth. The increase in
revenue is more than 25% as compared to last year. The sector has huge potential for growth and
can contribute more than 20% of manufacturing GDP. As the trend shifted over the years, people
prefer having an outing to have a dinner quite often. There are more than 1000 large scale food
processing enterprises in Pakistan. 70% of rural based food manufacturing are performing their
operations informally.
Pakistan’s food industry is changing significantly with an inclined shift in the lifestyle and
traditional eating habits. According to a survey in Pakistan, it was being revealed that an average
consumer spends 42% of one’s income on food. Retail sales of processed food is expanding by
10% annually and currently is estimated at about US$1.4 billion. Super markets are gaining
popularity as a shopping venue and now accounts for about 10% of all retail food sales. In
addition, Pakistan now hosts several western style food chains reflecting a rising popularity in
On an average, the trend of eating habits of the locals of the country about different cuisines and
fast food in the country are increasing almost 21% of the country which means the food industry
12
is trending now tremendously. It’s not just about home but a large business too. Multinationals
corporations have typically modified their menus to cater local Pakistani taste and most overseas
outlets are owned by native franchisees to ensure that cultural, ethnic and community values to
be taken care of. However, the high-income level segment prefers to visit the multinational
franchises of restaurants in Pakistan, to whom price is an irrelevant factor but the brand counts.
Much of the middle-income segments prefer visiting local outlets that offer comparatively low-
“Hunger Fighters” is a mobile Food Van which will be available outside the parks and gathering,
picnic points, heritage places such as Margalla Road, Monument, Lok-Virsa, Daman-e-Koh,
Islamabad Zoo and Jasmine Garden. We will be providing middle-income customers with
affordable food and to high-income customers with the best quality and tourists with the variety
of food.
The last several years have been an absolute diversity in both restaurant concepts and menu
choices in the food industry of Pakistan and throughout the developing and developed countries.
The evolution reflects that industry that has been responsive to changing consumer tastes as well
And those opportunities still exist in abundance. Any food industry is not free from challenges,
but it’s still possible to profit in any of business depending solely on the strategies and offerings.
However, people establish different stalls to make it affordable and convenient for the customer
to have it.
13
People now a day want to try different food and often have the popular ones. Consumers crave
for food, and we are making this available to them. We are keeping the prices affordable so that
people can purchase our products. The food consumers focus on quality, price and taste of the
items. While, the food provider’s focus on consistency of experience, affordability and speed of
serving.
Food industry, is a multi-billionaire industry which continue to grow rapidly in many countries.
Many restaurants have their franchises and restaurant chains, standardized food stuff are shipped
to each restaurant from central locations. There are also simpler food outlets, such as stand or
kiosks, which may or may not provide shelter and chairs for the customers. Because the capital
requirement to start a business is comparatively small, in the particular areas medium, small
restaurants are growing throughout the Pakistan. The restaurant have known to have a
consistency, simple look, feel and great ambiance in each location. Customer usually orders and
pay and pay at the counter or the window and then they take the food or grab the tray to sit and
Upcoming Trend
In Pakistan, mobile dining trucks/vans are gaining popularity day by day. Mobile food
trucks/vans are a new addition to the restaurant industry in Pakistan and offer a different
experience from the traditional restaurants because mobile food restaurants are able to target
different locations as compare to traditional restaurants they are just able to cater specific area or
location. A food van is a vehicle that incorporates with resources to cook and sell food. There
would be a growth in the number of mobile food vehicles in Pakistan due to high rents and
strong potential in the food industry and it will also attract new ventures as it is a very amazing
Sarapino pizza, Burger hub in Lahore started from a truck and The Food Truck Company is
How It is Different?
Running a food truck/van business is different from a regular restaurant in two ways.
1. First, you are mobile. You do not have a physical location with an address.1
2. Second, you go to the customers. You do not wait for them to come in your front door.
In our business, we have to be sure of our behavior with the customers because customer is the
king of every business. We have to be very careful while talking and dealing to our customers.
Hunger Fighters will hire employees who deal with employees politely and with patience and not
to get harsh with customers, if customers have any question regarding the quality of the food or
hygiene of the product. The employees of Hunger Fighters will deal with their customers and
talk to them in a very satisfying manner, until they are not left with any doubt regarding the food.

Our target customers are people who visit the parks and public places including children
youngsters and families. Hunger Fighters also target the people who like to explore healthy and
1. Islamabad zoo
Islamabad Zoo is a place where families mostly go, children love to enjoy and always feel happy
when they visit these places. In Islamabad Zoo, there are two small shops which only contain a
minimal amount of variety of food such as burgers, fries which are not tasty and hygienic, and
the quality of food is also not good. They also have other chips such as Lays, soft drinks, juices.
Parents prefer hygienic, and tasty food to have for their children as well as for themselves.
Hunger Fighters will provide them hygienic, tasty food at affordable prices to them.
16
2. Monument Islamabad
Monument is located in Islamabad and it is a heritage place. Hunger Fighters will target this
place because large number of people visit there daily from Islamabad and from other cities of
Pakistan as well. Foreigners also like to visit monument to know about the heritage of Pakistan.
Hunger Fighters will target this place to capture large number of nationals as well as foreigners.
3. Lok Virsa
Lok Virsa is located at Shakarparian Hills. It is a museum of art, culture and history of Pakistan.
Many tourist and people visit there from twin cities and other cities of Pakistan as well as from
outside the Pakistan. The food availability is limited to few stalls and the variety of food is also
limited. Hunger Fighter will target customer to provide them tasty and hygienic food and to
4. Damn-e-Koh
Damn-e-Koh is a top hill garden. It is an attractive location for tourist as well as for local
residents. It is located at the middle of Margalla hills. It is one of the beautiful places of
Islamabad. Having an amazing response of people still there is one small café that is a bit far
from the location, having few items like juices, burgers, sandwiches, coffee etc. Hunger Fighters
5. Jasmine Garden
This place is mostly crowded by people in the evening. The products are not standardized, the
quality of food is not good and again there is very less variety of food available. Hunger Fighters
will provide variety of food items there that will make people happy.
17
6. Margalla Road
Hiking is trending in youngsters of twin cities. Large groups in day timings visit there. Different
trails are there, but there is no single spot for food. People have to take food like biscuits and
sandwiches, with them while hiking and after getting free people have to reach Islamabad to
have lunch.
Hunger Fighters will provide hygienic food with number of food items which people find worth
paying for. Hunger Fighters will target these locations, as we will find large customers there on
daily basis. The advantage is that people will opt for our food, as it will be tasty, and have
quality. These places either have no eating spots or the one located have limited typical items
5.3 Competition
Direct competition
The stalls, shops and restaurants at the targeted places are our direct competitor with whom we
will compete on the quality, taste and prices of the food. Because their products are of low
quality tasteless and expensive. We will maintain our quality and taste in order to keep customers
satisfy.
Other direct competitors will also include the food vans or trucks that are working in Islamabad
such as Le’Rollers Food Truck providing which are providing Double Decker Burger, Fried
Chicken Wrap, Magic Meal, Scooped Shakes in short, they are dealing in fast food, the other
18
food trucks such as Cook n Bake, Twin Cities Food Van, The Food Truck, Taste Buds they are
Indirect competition
There are number of restaurants working in Islamabad such as fast food (KFC, McDonalds,
Subway, Pizza Hut and so on, local food restaurants (Savor Foods, Saffron and so on), different,
cafes, canteens, cafeterias, bakeries, stalls that are also our competitors.
The food truck industry is new in Pakistan and very less people know about it. It will be a
competitive edge for Hunger Fighters to enter in a Food truck/van business at this time because
there are very less food truck businesses are operating in Pakistan.
One of the biggest advantages a Hunger Fighters has over a traditional restaurant is that it brings

8. Organization & Management Plan
The initial management team depends on the founders themselves, with little backup of staff. As
we grow we will take on additional help in certain key areas including the marketing for
expanding our business, more chefs and serving staff. The initial staff support team will have to
work extra. This will allow us to recover investments as early as possible and enjoy the higher
returns.
“Hunger Fighters” is currently a creative idea of two founders. As the company is small in
structure calls for all individual to make all management decisions in addition to managing all
business activities.
