Prompt
Help me write a one-page business plan. Use only what I tell you; where information is missing, write "TO DECIDE" and add it to a questions list — do not invent numbers. Business idea: Home-cooked tiffin service for office workers Location / market: Pune, Hinjewadi IT area Starting budget: ₹60,000 What I already know: I can cook 40 meals a day; two office contacts interested; own scooter for delivery Format as a single page with these headings, 1–3 short lines each: Problem · Customer · Offer · Why us · Price · How customers find us · Costs to start · Monthly running costs · Risks · 90-day goals (3 measurable ones). Then add: "Questions to answer before starting" (max 5 bullets) and "Cheapest way to test the idea in 2 weeks" (3 steps). Keep the whole thing under 350 words. Plain language, no jargon. Offer to turn it into a lender-style plan afterwards.

For example: Pune, Hinjewadi IT area.

One-page plan. Missing figures stay TO DECIDE. No extra numbers are invented. Problem Office workers in Pune's Hinjewadi IT area who want a home-cooked meal at work. Which part of that is the real pain is TO DECIDE. Customer Office workers there. Two office contacts are already interested. Wider demand is not claimed. Offer Home-cooked tiffin, cooked by me, up to 40 meals a day, delivered on my own scooter. Why us I cook the meals and I can deliver them on my scooter. No other advantage is claimed. Price TO DECIDE How customers find us Start with the two interested office contacts. Any other channel is TO DECIDE. Costs to start Starting budget is ₹60,000. The split of that money is TO DECIDE. Monthly running costs TO DECIDE Risks Only two contacts have shown interest. Delivery depends on one scooter. More than 40 meals a day would break the limit you gave. The ₹60,000 is not yet divided. 90-day goals Complete one paid trial with the two interested contacts. Price and meal count are TO DECIDE. Write down the real ingredient cost of that trial. The amount is TO DECIDE after you cook it. Stop or continue without spending more than ₹60,000. Questions to answer before starting - What price will those two contacts pay? - Which days and which meals are in the trial? - Which ingredient, fuel, and packing costs must fit in ₹60,000? - What do you do on a day the scooter cannot run? - Which food-safety step applies, if any? No rule is invented here. Cheapest way to test the idea in 2 weeks Ask the two contacts for a paid trial and the price they will pay. Cook only the meals they confirm, and note every ingredient cost. Deliver on the scooter, then ask if they would order again before cooking for anyone else. I can turn this into a lender-style plan after you replace each TO DECIDE.
