I have attached a 4 part assignment that is not all due at once but was wanting help from just one tutor so there is some continuity throughout the assignments. This can be done all at once or can be spread out through the next 5 weeks. i can pay for the entire assignment or i can pay weekly. If you could let me know how much you would want too get this done. or if you are even willing to do the entire project.

 

NOTE: I'd like to introduce a new service within the Coffee/Food Truck industry.

My idea includes a Latino/Caribbean flair inclusive of Cuban Coffees and Espresso - Latin-fusion coffee shop.

 - both hot and cold drinks. I would like to eventually include healthier versions of a Latino sandwiches like a Cuban sandwich - turkey Cuban, chicken Cuban with fresh vegetables

Empanadas - Spanish version of a turn-over or hand-pie Filled with ground beef, fresh veggies, guava and cheese, plantain chips, 

horchata - rice milk, milk, and cinnamon

Central and South American coffee brands, all from local roasters here in Houston, TX

My plan would like to include a small set up of a trailer, where I can 'go to the people", near colleges, downtown office buildings, medical center. Private parties, festivals, etc.

Eventually, after building a customer base, would like to open a small cozy brick and mortar
