Students have the opportunity to examine the popular topic of food through the perspective of an entrepreneur. They will discover how small businesses are created in Canada and how these businesses succeed as students complete the following activities: watch a video of students creating an original restaurant and of a teen chef preparing his secret recipe, examine menus and secret recipes, discover prices and calculate costs with a profit, and discuss basic principles of décor and promotion. They read texts about Canadian entrepreneurs and restaurants, as well as examine menus and recipes from many cultures. Students also write shopping lists and menus.

Final Task: with a partner, students create and present a business plan for an original restaurant that includes a menu, a secret recipe, a décor design, and a promotional jingle.
