The document provides planning instructions for student groups to sell food products as part of a school business task. It outlines key areas for groups to consider: creating a spreadsheet to budget costs and profits; promoting their product through menus and posters; and preparing necessary equipment, ingredients, and storage. Mystery shoppers will evaluate groups on food quality, value, taste, customer service, and promotional efforts. The goal is for groups to thoughtfully budget their money investment and sales strategy in order to earn profits from selling to other students on Friday.
