FOOD TRUCK EVENT PREP PLANNER v1.0

Purpose
Estimate event-specific prep quantities from your own serving forecast, per-serving usage, buffer, ready stock, batch size and optional capacity limit.

Open Food_Truck_Event_Prep_Planner_v1.xlsx. Start on the Read me tab, review the Worked Example, then use the blank Event Prep tab. Yellow cells are inputs. Use one consistent unit per row.

Files
- Food_Truck_Event_Prep_Planner_v1.xlsx: blank planner, worked example and instructions.
- Event_Prep_Quick_Guide.pdf: one-page operating guide.
- Example_Event_Prep.csv: fictional example rows for reference.
- LICENSE.txt: use terms.

Important limits
The workbook does not forecast demand, inspect food, decide food safety or shelf life, identify allergens, apply health-code requirements, assign staff, set prices or connect to a POS. Use approved recipes, local requirements, actual equipment limits and trained judgment. Do not treat a calculated quantity as permission to prepare or serve food.

Compatibility checked
The file was generated and formula-checked, rendered visually, and opened/recalculated in LibreOffice Calc. Native Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets import, mobile editing, printing and real food-truck use were not independently tested.
