The Restaurant Business Plan

A business plan is crucial for most new businesses seeking any kind of financing. It is absolutely imperative for a prospective restaurateur. Hence, starting with the business plan of our own restaurant, our first responsibility is to the financial well-being of the restaurant. A suitable site for the first restaurant was found last month and lease negotiations are convenient. The location of the restaurant will be close to a dense population of the target market. If the business is meeting its projections by month nine, we will start scouting for a second location and develop plans for the next unit. The menu will be moderate sized, and moderate-low priced offering a collection of ethnic and items which are healthy, flavorful, and familiar. Our goal is to create the image of light satisfying and still nutritious food. Most food will be prepared on the premises.

The kitchen will be designed for high standards of sanitary efficiency and cleaned daily. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week. Focusing on the unique aspect of the product theme, a mix of marketing vehicles will be created to convey our presence, our image, and our message. Employees will be trained not only in their specific operational duties but in the philosophy and applications of our concept. Our marketing efforts will be concentrated on take-out and delivery, the areas of most promising growth. As the market changes, new products may be added to maintain sales. Ideally, the restaurant will expand to various units in the next 8 years. At that time, we will entertain the possibility of a buy-out by a larger restaurant concerned.
