    increased month-over-month returns and margins to prove financial model foradditional outlets

    3. Establish short-term management succession plan for first phase expansion

    (three restaurants)

    4. Establish corporate guidelines for opening standards, operational procedures,

    brand standards, and product specifications. Book to be established to address

    unforeseen opportunities that arise for quicker than anticipated growth

    OBJECTIVES: LONG TERM1. Secure three additional rounds of private investment totaling $2,850,000 to

    KEYS TO SUCCESSFAVE has an internal core set of drivers that make it unique. The following list

    represents the controllable keys to success of the concept:

    The Food: a dynamic mix of taste-first proprietary food designed to be premium

    to competitors in the local fast casual category. Quality and taste has the ability

    to covert omnivores and impress non-vegetarians

    The Service: a strategically designed environment and set of offerings to

    effectively deliver key service periods of lunch and dinner

    The Message: a sunny, summery communication platform that strategically

    avoids the typically negative vegetarian baggage including animal rights and

    the environment

    The Theatre: a natural, handcrafted soda program set to become a beverage

    barista experience

    The Supply: a partner network of distributors, manufacturers and consultants

    ready to deliver an impossible-to-copy menu of great food that just happens

    to be meat-free

    The Finances: strict and rigorous cost controls and financial management

    The Management: strong industry experience, complimentary skill sets, large

    social networks and passion to drive the concept long-term

    FAVE relies on an external set of opportunity drivers that provide a platform for

    significant growth. The following list represents the market forces key to success of the

    concept:

    Health: the individual need to combat increasingly sedentary lifestyles with a

    healthy, low cholesterol, low fat, high vegetable diet

    Category: explosive growth in the fast casual restaurant market in North America

    Trend: media, television, and pop culture support for increasing vegetable

    consumption, the vegetarian shift and the vegan movement

    Politics: continued pressure from national, provincial and municipal government

    organizations to recommend, develop and fund healthier lifestyle options to offset

    ballooning health care costs

    COMPANY LOCATIONS AND FACILITIESThe first three FAVE restaurants are targeted to open within the urban centre of

    Vancouver, British Columbia. The targeted neighbourhoods include Kitsilano (4th

    Avenue), the North East Robson Street Corridor, South Granville, South Cambie

    Corridor, Yaletown and Gastown.

    International Expansion

    One will note the business model of FAVE has been designed to be scalable. From the

    vision to the supply chain, from the product offering to the brand, a mass-market, cross-

    cultural direction has been deliberately planned. Noting the successes of contemporary

    meat-free fast casual competitors in localized markets around the world, including

    Singapore, Los Angeles, Boston, and Toronto, FAVE has an increased potential for US

    and international growth.

    As vegetarianism is particularly strong in a number of countries, FAVE is looking toward

    the horizon to target the following countries for international expansion, after the US

    market: UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Australia and India. The Indian market

    alone is estimated to have more than 400,000,000 people who do not eat meat.

    COMPANY GROWTH STRATEGYFirst Phase Growth and Financing Strategy

    From the moment the first FAVE opens its doors, three strategic focal points for growth

    will be delegated to committed talent within the organization. The operational integrity

    of FAVE will be handed to Jeff Osborne, the financial integrityof FAVE will be handed

    to Joseph Cooke and the emotional integrityof FAVE will be handed to Jordan

    Kallman.

    Jeffs area of responsibility will ensure that operational standards are being met, product

    delivery is perfect and the guest experience is always exceeding expectations. Jeff will

    run the facility, managing relationships with suppliers, vendors, employees and guests.

    Joseph will manage the finances of FAVE. He will ensure that Jeffs scope is within

    budget and that financial standards-of-performance and being met. Joseph will

    coordinate the relationships with investors and the board. Jordan will develop the metrics

    by which emotional connections with the market and FAVE can be analyzed. This data is

    essential in growth decisions that will be made in future.

    Joseph will work to achieve budgeted results and a profitable operation by month six ofoperations. Should this be achieved, FAVE will undergo a second round of financing

    whereby the group of investors will have first right of refusal. This second round of

    investment will finance the opening of the second, third and fourth FAVE. The second

    FAVE is targeted to open one calendar year after the first FAVE opens. The third FAVE

    is targeted to open four months after the second FAVE opens. The fourth FAVE is

    targeted to open at the end of year two.

    Throughout Phase One, Jordan will be responsible for managing communication

    strategies, online guest feedback and all contractors responsible for the consumer

    engagement with the FAVE brand. This will include social media partners, traditional

    public relations, and the converter agent-based promotional program discussed in later

    sections of this plan. Opportunities for brand and business development, including new

    strategic relationships, partnerships and real estate location scouting will also fall under

    Jordans sphere of responsibility.

    Allocation of FAVE Profits

    FAVE, at the discretion of the Board of Directors will reinvest all of its profits after

    dividends during the first phase of growth. Reinvestment areas will be additional

    restaurants, employee development (from training to retention programs and financial

    incentives), product development, marketing programs, distribution and supply-chainefficiencies.

    Second Phase Growth and Financing Strategy

    The first four FAVE outlets are targeted to all open within 2 years of the first day of

    operations of the first outlet. These outlets are all targeted to open in Vancouver. During

    Year 2, a third round of financing will commence whereby the shareholders will be given

    the first right of refusal. This third round of financing will be set for $1.35 Million. This

    third round of financing will fund the expansion of FAVE into the Southern California

    market. FAVE will also be in a position to reinvest earnings to contribute to the

    expansion.

    FAVE will initiate a fourth round of financing in year three and year four to raise the final

    $1.5 Million that will propel the company to build a total of 17 outlets within five years of

    operations. At the end of year five, FAVE is targeting to have a presence in the West

    and East of Canada, as well as the US, via west coast USA.

    The Option of Franchising vs. Financing

    The co-founders are not targeting a franchising model for growth. As customer

    experience and detailed delivery to ensure conversion in the marketplace, a corporately

    owned business model for the outlets is desired. This model allows for greater controlover quality of service, product delivery and guest experience.

    Investors Exit Option

    FAVE will be built to attract an acquisition from a larger, and publically traded quick-

    serve or fast food company. The industry average price to earnings ratio among

    publically traded comparable companies is 22 times. FAVE will position itself to be

    traded at 7.5 (See Investor Model section for further analysis) times. As multiple rounds

    of financing will occur, this will also provide investors with multiple options for them to

    pull their investments out.
