Months 1–2: Get the foundations in place. Register the business, apply for licenses and permits, set up the brand (logo, colors), and lock in supplier contacts.

• Month 3: Buy the core equipment and finish the menu. Test dishes, standardize portions, and prepare a simple event day workflow so everyone knows their role.

• Month 4: Launch marketing. Publish a one‑page website, set up social pages, and post food shots and behind‑the‑scenes prep to build interest and bookings.

• Months 5–6: Run two or three small pilot events. Collect feedback from guests and hosts, fix any gaps in timing, menu flow, or equipment.

• Month 7: Official launch. Host a signature outdoor ‘Tandoori Trails Night’ and invite local partners and media. Use photos and reviews from the pilots.

• Months 8–12: Build partnerships with farms, wedding planners, and tourism pages. Focus on steady bookings and seasonal events.

• End of Year 1: Review the numbers and feedback, adjust pricing and menu if needed, and plan targets for next year.
