## Prompt

```text
Help me develop a restaurant or food business concept.

**Concept idea:** [THEME OR CUISINE - e.g. "Korean-Mexican taco truck", "neighborhood brunch cafe"]
**Format:** [food truck / counter service / full service / pop-up / ghost kitchen]
**Location and customers:** [AREA, foot traffic, who lives or works nearby]
**Price point:** [e.g. "$12-18 per person"]
**Kitchen and staff limits:** [equipment, space, team size, my cooking experience]
**Competitors nearby:** [WHAT ELSE IS AROUND, if known]

Deliver:
1. **Concept summary:** one paragraph on what makes this place worth choosing, and who it is for.
2. **Sample menu:** 4-6 starters, 5-8 mains, 2-4 desserts or drinks. For each: a one-line description, key ingredients, and a note on prep complexity. Design for cross-utilized ingredients so a small kitchen can execute it.
3. **Basic recipes** for 3 signature items (ingredients and method, scaled for testing).
4. **Name options:** 8 names with a short rationale each, plus which to check for trademark and domain availability.
5. **Launch promotion plan:** soft-opening approach, the first 30 days of local marketing (social, Google Business Profile, partnerships, events), and one low-cost stunt that fits the concept.
6. **Risks to test before committing:** the 5 biggest assumptions and a cheap way to test each (pop-up, tasting, pre-orders).

Do not invent local market data, rents, or competitor details; mark anything I should verify as [CONFIRM]. Note that permits, food safety rules, and licensing vary by location and should be checked with the local health department.
