Item 1 Business
Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. is a holding Company for distinctly-branded fast casual restaurants, including: Holy Cow Burgers and Ice Cream, Independent Taco, Third Eye Pies and others in the planning stages. Although the concept of fast casual originated in the United States in the 1990’s, it did not become mainstream until late 2000’s/early 2010’s. During the economic recession that began in 2007, the category of fast casual dining saw increased sales to the 18 – 34-year-old demographic. This demographic group has limited disposable spending for meals, so they tend to choose fast casual since it is perceived as healthier. A fast casual restaurant offers higher quality food than fast food restaurants, with fewer frozen or processed ingredients, but it does not provide full table service. It is an intermediate concept between fast food and casual dining, and usually priced accordingly.
Fast casual restaurants meet the following criteria:
| 1. | Limited-service or self-service format |
| 2. | Average meal price between $8 and $15 |
| 3. | Made-to-order food with more complex flavors than fast food restaurants |
| 4. | Upscale, unique or highly developed décor |
| 5. | Most often will not have a drive thru |
Fast Casual Concepts plans to open Company-owned restaurants to validate performance, before offering franchise opportunities to qualified buyers. The three restaurants are an answer to the increasing dining demand of millennials. They (1) want value for everything that they purchase, (2) will not accept anything that does not meet their expectations, and (3) want a pleasant dining experience in a socially comfortable environment. The three food sectors: burgers, tacos, and pizza are cuisines that millennials want to eat, and Fast Casual Concepts will operate the restaurants they want to patronize.
In today’s highly competitive environment, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to differentiate one restaurant concept from another. Fast Casual Concepts will do this by offering entrees made with fresh ingredients. The food will be prepared daily on the premises and seasoned to perfection. The grills and ovens in our restaurants will be out in the open and loaded with burgers, taco meat, and pizzas. With our high-quality, streamlined menu, diners will receive their food quickly and piping hot. We believe that fresh ingredients produce the high-quality products that today’s health-conscious consumer’s desire.
This business plan presents our vision and strategic plan to offer fast casual dining to our target market segments—the 18-34 year-old and position the brand for successful franchising in the future. This plan includes the restaurants, market strategy, investment requirements, financial forecasts, management team, and franchisee recruitment.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements presented are those of Fast Casual Concepts, Inc. (“Fast Casual”, or the “Company”). Fast Casual was originally incorporated on March 23, 2019, under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania (PA). On April 13, 2020, the Company re-domiciled in the state of Wyoming, increasing its authorized number common shares available to be issued to 750,000,000 and effectuating a 10-for-1 forward-split of its common stock.
Fast Casual was incorporated to develop, build, operate and franchise casual eating establishments under brand names such as Holy Cow, Independent Taco and Third Eye Pies. Fast Casual has four open stores, the Holy Cow, in Slippery Rock, PA, the Third Eye Pies in Butler, PA and an Independent Taco and a Third Eye Pies both in Mercer, PA. Additionally, the Company currently has one store under construction, a Third Eye Pies in Washington.
Basis of Presentation
The Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States. Fast Casual has elected a calendar year-end. On April 13, 2020, the Company effectuated a 10-for-1 forward-split of its common stock. All share and earnings per share information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and the incremental par value of the newly issued shares was recorded with the offset to additional paid-in capital.
Cash Equivalents
Fast Casual considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition Policy
Fast Casual recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Series Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue based on the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation as each performance obligation in a contract is satisfied.
Food and beverage sales, as presented in our statement of operations, represents food and beverage product sold and is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold and product is delivered to the customer. Revenue is presented net of sales tax. Sales taxes collected from customers are included in other accrued expenses on our balance sheets until the taxes are remitted to governmental authorities.
Food and Beverage Costs
Food and beverage costs include inventory costs of purchased food and beverages for resale. Vendor allowances received in connection with the purchase of a vendor’s products are recognized as a reduction of the related food and beverage costs as earned.
Inventory
Inventories consist of food, beverage and related serving supplies and are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Leases
Operating leases consist of restaurant locations and generally have remaining terms of 5 - 10 years and most include options to extend the leases for additional 5-year periods. Generally, the lease term is the minimum of the noncancelable period of the lease or the lease term inclusive of reasonably certain renewal periods. If the estimate of our reasonably certain lease term were changed, our depreciation and rent expense could differ materially.
Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we estimate incremental borrowing rates corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term. If the estimate of our incremental borrowing rate were changed, our operating lease assets and liabilities could differ materially.
Pre-Opening Expenses
Non-capital expenditures associated with opening new restaurants are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
Production costs of commercials are expensed in the fiscal period the advertising is first aired while the costs of programming and other advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed as incurred. These costs are reported as part of general and administrative in statement of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
Fast Casual records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation and are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. All transactions with non-employees in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 515, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) and ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Fast Casual has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity by removing the separation models for convertible debt with cash conversion and beneficial conversion features by requiring entities not to separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and instead will account for a convertible debt instrument and convertible preferred stock as a single unit of account unless a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or was issued at a substantial premium. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 but may be early adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is evaluating the effect that this update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies certain disclosures and adds additional disclosures. ASU 2018-13 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as part of its ongoing Simplification Initiative. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of FASB Topic 718, Stock Compensation, to include nonemployee awards and generally aligning the accounting for nonemployee awards with the accounting for employee awards. ASU 2018-07 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Long Lived Assets
Periodically Fast Casual assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include property, equipment and acquired intangible assets, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Fast Casual recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values. An impairment loss would be recognized in the amount by which the recorded value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, measured by the quoted market price of an asset or an estimate based on the best information available in the circumstances. There were no such losses recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 and from inception through December 31, 2019.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Fast Casual presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt instrument, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:
| | December 31, 2020 | | | Period from Inception on March 23, 2019 through December 31, 2019 | |
Basic Loss Per Share: | | | | | | | | |
Numerator: | | | | | | | | |
Net loss | | $ | (511,580 | ) | | $ | (319,669 | ) |
Denominator: | | | | | | | | |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding | | | 100,526,236 | | | | 44,876,325 | |
Basic net loss per share | | $ | (0.01 | ) | | $ | (0.01 | ) |
Income Taxes
Fast Casual files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the states of Pennsylvania and Wyoming. Fast Casual’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

NOTE 4 - LEASES
Fast Casual leases restaurant space under leases having remaining lease terms of up to ten years. Fast Casual has included the initial lease term in the cases where there are options to extend as it has determined that it is not reasonably certain that Fast Casual would exercise those options. Leases are classified as either finance or operating at inception of the lease, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statements of operations. Operating leases result in the recognition of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Right-of-use lease assets represent the Fast Casual's right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. The liability is calculated as the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for existing operating leases using either the rate implicit in the lease or, if none exists, Fast Casual's incremental borrowing rate of 6.99%.

Fast Casual has net operating losses of approximately $825,923 that expire 20 years from when incurred. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years. In accordance with the statute of limitations for federal tax returns, the Company’s federal tax returns for the years 2020 and 2019 are subject to examination.
NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
Fast Casual's financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Fast Casual has accumulated losses since its inception and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about the Fast Casual's ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:
Fast Casual opened its first restaurant in 2019, opened two more in January 2020, one restaurant in December 2020 and plans to open a fifth restaurant by the end of 2021. Fast Casual has raised $319,851 during the year ended December 31, 2020 and is seeking to raise up to $1,000,000 total through private placements of its common stock. Funds received from the issuance of debt and equity is being used to expand brand identity through location expansion, identify new revenue sources and upgrade internal reporting systems to assist in identifying cost reduction opportunities to achieve profitability. The continuation of Fast Casual as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations that produce positive cash flows. If Fast Casual is not successful, it may be forced to raise additional debt or equity financing.
There can be no assurance that Fast Casual will be able to achieve its business plans, raise any more required capital or secure the financing necessary to achieve its current operating plan. The ability of Fast Casual to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During January 2021, the Company received notice of full forgiveness of its $64,600 April 2020 PPP loan as discussed above in Note 5.
During February 2021, the Company terminated its lease for a Third Eye Pies restaurant space in Washington, PA in exchange for a termination payment of $84,600 and entered into a new lease for space in Washington, PA. The lease has an initial monthly payment of $7,287, including insurance and taxes, and a term of ten years beginning on the date of the store opening, with an option to extend for another five years. The lease also provides Fast Casual a $25,720 tenant improvement allowance and access to the space prior to the lease to complete the space prior to opening. As such, the lease will be deemed to have commenced upon transfer of control of the space to Fast Casual.
