Answer to Question 1

It is liquid form of yogurt and is often flavored and served as a beverage.

Answer to Question 2

Generally speaking, it's difficult (and unwise) to prepare financial forecast without a firm concept.Some concepts are inappropriate for certain locations and some locations are a poor match for certain concepts - a location that has demographics fitting for burgers may not be optimal for Mongolian barbeque.

Restrictions on the concept from the location:
 Some locations do not have appropriate ventilation
 Some locations have been pigeonholed to a certain concept (Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) near Universities)
 The demographics of a certain location may not be optimal for a concept

How a location can inform the concept:
 A location with high concentration of a certain demographic
 The location may have specific or single use that lends itself to a narrow concept
