YOU CAN WORK IN GROUPS OF 2-3

SENARIO: In your group, you are all owners of an international restaurant chain in Dallas TX. You restaurant finds recipes and foods from all around the world so customers can experience a taste of every culture. You will document these recipes/foods on your Ipad to bring back to your restaurant. For some customers it may be food from their homeland that they want to share with family and friends.

Your group will be traveling to one country to experience the culture, the foods, and to bring home ideas to share with your customers. Each person of your group is an owner and will be given $6,000 for travel expenses (ie. If you have 3 owners that would be $18,000 total).
