1.0 Executive Summary

Exogrill is simply a small business engaged in selling food like street food (but in more general term, we call it exotic food). From the name itself, the business offers primarily exotic food as well as other popular pinoy street food. Exogrill also offers drinks as its secondary products like "juices, palamig, and softdrinks" that are readily available and sold in affordable prices. Exogrill is most likely a food cart business but it is somehow different for it offers different variants of exotic or street food and not solely focusing on one or single food product unlike other food cart businesses.

Street food is very common on filipinos especially for those who live in urban areas. Many people have patronized street food because of its affordability, ease of preparation and because of its unique taste. Up to this present, street food still has consistent customer demand among urban-dwellers. And it's by this we can tell that
availability of many potetial buyers can easily be obtained by Exogrill.

The location of Exogrill is beside SNR Price Mart in muñoz, Quezon City. Aside from being near to the homeplaces of the business owners, it is also near to a public market and foot bridge where there are many passers-by passing every minute and every second. The passers-by are the Exogrill's principal target customers who are spontaneously become potential buyers of products within a given place. The place is also chosen to obtain the necessary ingredients and materials needed for the products of Exogrill because of the public market nearby.

The potential customers of Exogrill are adults and students from age twelve and above who are very capable and have good chances of buying exotic or street food. These people belong to an average filipino who only earns income just enough and always consider the affordability of a product.

The marketing strategy of Exogrill is to emphasize the selling of exotic food (knowing that it is already considered part of Filipino culture). The business will be always open for change (innovation) and is very positive to get a good market potential and soon to become a bigger business.

Exogrill is a partnership business that will be equally managed by Jerry Jake Reyes, Janine Adornado, Sarah Jane Mata, Gemmalyn Mascardo, Ma. Rosario Valera and Mark Jason Sanchez. Each of them plays equal participation in running the business.
