Lesson #2: Keep it Simple
| |
| Puck has never been one for pretensions. Despite being a gourmet chef who caters to the who’s who of Hollywood and many of America’s other elite, Puck has refused to succumb to the glitz and the airs of many of the other top chefs. He has kept his recipes simple and their presentation equally so, his restaurant designs unfussy and his overall message clear-cut: “I think people can walk by, and they see the menu. It’s not intimidating and the food is interesting. If they get good food, friendly service in a nice environment, people will come back and tell their friends.” |

Part 6: Service or Product Line
| |
| What are you selling? In this section, describe your service or product, emphasizing the benefits to potential and current customers. For example, don't tell your readers which 89 foods you carry in your "Gourmet to Go" shop.

The Food Truck Phenomenon- Gourmet, On-The-Go
| |
| In a society full of gourmet food-loving, time-crunched consumers it’s little wonder that food truck businesses that marry upscale food and convenience are proving to be the perfect recipe.
