Download or read book Restaurant Business Plan written by Cory Sutherland and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting a business is always tough - especially in the food industry, and particularly for restaurant businesses. Among other things, you'll have to please a discerning clientele (who will post reviews online before they could finish their meals), deal with fresh produce and other perishables (that have shelf-lives always too short), and keep in line a likely-diverse kitchen staff (whose attitudes tend to clash). Another proof that the restaurant business is tough: around half of all restaurant ventures fold-up in losses. This is, of course, due to varying reasons - although the complications that restaurant owners face are more or less the same. So is starting a restaurant even a viable prospect these days? Or are restaurant start-ups doomed to fail? The answer: Restaurant businesses are not all doomed to fail, and starting one can be a worthwhile endeavor. After all, every man and woman alive still need to eat. This means there will always be potential clientele that your restaurant can feed and profit from. The important question then is, how can you successfully start a restaurant and produce a steady (and healthy) profit? That's exactly what this book will show you how to do. I'm going to guide you through all the preparation and steps you need to take to launch a restaurant business and get positive returns within the year. I'll walk you through the essentials of starting a business including how to get funding, how to hire the right people, how to develop a menu, as well as what traps to avoid to make sure your restaurant remains successful. Let's get started!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a doctoral candidate, professional business consultant, and business plan writer, I am often asked by aspiring and seasoned entrepreneurs alike, "What is the first step for starting a restaurant business or expanding a current restaurant operation?". When I first started out as a business consultant, I would explain to my client their place in the entrepreneurial process. I then support this analysis with proven academic and practicing business theory, along with recommending specific steps to take to start or expand their restaurant operations.After going through this process time and time again with restaurant entrepreneurs, it dawned on me that the first step I ALWAYS recommend is writing a business plan.Unfortunately, most restaurant entrepreneurs do not know how to write a professionally polished and structured restaurant business plan. Hell, most owners don't know how to write any type of business plan at all. From this issue, I decided to write this book focused on a ten-step process to writing a well-structured restaurant business plan. The restaurant business plan writing steps include all aspects of the business plan writing process, beginning with developing the executive summary through constructing a professional and polished funding request. In each step, I introduce you to a different restaurant business plan section. I then explain in layman's terms what the section means, offer a restaurant-specific business plan sample, and analyze the sample to help you understand the component. The objective of this detailed process is to ensure full understanding of each section and segment, with the goal of you being able to write a professional restaurant business plan for yourself, by yourself! IF you still need help writing your restaurant business plan, at the end of the book, I ALSO supply you with a professionally written sample restaurant business plan AND a restaurant business plan template for you to use. On a final note, to put the cherry on top, I have conducted and included preliminary restaurant market research for you to use in your personalized plans!In the end, I am supremely confident that this book, with the numerous tools and tips for restaurant business plan writing, will help you develop your coveted restaurant business plan in a timely fashion.

Download or read book Opening a Restaurant Or Other Food Business Starter Kit written by Sharon L. Fullen and published by Atlantic Publishing Company. This book was released on 2005 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book & CD-ROM. Restaurants are one of the most frequently started small businesses, yet have one of the highest failure rates. A business plan precisely defines your business, identifies your goals, and serves as your firm's resume. The basic components include a current and proforma balance sheet, an income statement, and a cash flow analysis. It helps you allocate resources properly, handle unforeseen complications, and make good business decisions. Because it provides specific and organised information about your company and how you will repay borrowed money, a good business plan is a crucial part of any loan application. Additionally, it informs personnel, suppliers, and others about your operations and goals. Despite the critical importance of a business plan, many entrepreneurs drag their feet when it comes to preparing a written document. They argue that their marketplace changes too fast for a business plan to be useful or that they just don't have enough time. But just as a builder won't begin construction without a blueprint, eager business owners shouldn't rush into new ventures without a business plan. The CD-ROM will cover the following subjects: Elements of a Business Plan, Cover sheet ,Statement of purpose, The Business, Description of The Restaurant, Marketing, Competition, Operating procedures, Personnel, Business insurance, Financial Data, Loan applications, Capital equipment and supply list, Balance sheet, Breakeven analysis, Pro-forma income projections (profit & loss statements), Three-year summary, Detail by month, first year, Detail by quarters, second and third years, Assumptions upon which projections were based, Pro-forma cash flow, Supporting Documents, For franchised businesses, a copy of franchise contract and all, supporting documents provided by the franchisor, Copy of proposed lease or purchase agreement for building space, Copy of licenses and other legal documents, Copy of resumes of all principals, Copies of letters of intent from suppliers, etc. A new study from The Ohio State University has found the restaurant industry failure rate between 1996 and 1999 to be between 57-61 percent over three years. Don't be a statistic on the wrong side, plan now for success with this new book and CD-Rom package.
