Excerpt from the Workbook 7 Step Cafe Business Plan:

Your cafe business plan pulls no punches. Jump over the land mines, and create a business that will work.

KEY CONSIDERATION

A cafe suggests a small, intimate place for eating, for coffee, for conversation. It's a neighborhood place, perhaps like the one on Jerry Seinfeld.

STRONGEST ADVANTAGE

Bankers understand cafes. There is nothing complicated about them. There are no algorithms to analyze.  

STRONGEST DISADVANTAGE

Bankers understand cafes. Yes, this is the strongest disadvantage too. Even if they don't really understand cafes, they think they do. And that's worse.  

OVERCOMING THE DISADVANTAGE WITH YOUR CAFE BUSINESS PLAN

Draw the banker into the business.

You have a slew of decisions to make before opening your cafe. Menu items, decor, advertising, kind of personnel to hire, hours to keep. When talking with your banker, ask his/her advice on one or two aspects that you haven't yet decided on -- perhaps how large the outdoor sign should be, or whether or not to bake your own pies.

People like to believe that their opinion is important. So let the banker feel important. You will be rewarded with his/her undivided attention, and perhaps more advice on how to nail the loan.

Demonstrate your experience in the restaurant business.
Restaurants, and hence cafes, have a very high mortality rate. Anyone who cooks thinks he/she can be a restaurateur. Well, it just ain't so.

Knowing the territory in the restaurant field is more important than most other fields. Knowing what to buy, what to cook, how to cut corners, what hours to keep -- these are things you must know. The cannot be taught through on the job training.

The banker is going to be looking for very solid experience. Give it to her/him. Adapt this cafe business plan to demonstrate your real talent to the banker!

OTHER PLUSSES FROM YOUR CAFE BUSINESS PLAN

Make your business plan reflect your cafe as much as possible. Use the same color scheme. Show your menu if you have it ready. Include architectural drawings of the interior. Show the rendering of the exterior.

Make it as real as it can be.

If it is an existing business, show the before and after to demonstrate how you will spiffy it up. If it is an existing business, be especially careful in your financial projections. Don't assume that "under new management" will automatically draw crowds of people.

It takes more than that. Show what you will do to attract new clientele. Then your cafe business plan will really work.

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR YOUR CAFE MARKETING PLAN

For traffic information for your marketing plan for a cafe, contact the owner/manager of the retail center. Also go to your city or county planning department where you can get traffic counts and information on housing and construction in that area.

For statistical information on the particular industry you are entering, go to BizMiner.  

At the home page, look for the "Search by Industry" box.

Enter "Cafe".

You will be taken to a list of reports specially designed for your area of interest, including reports for Lunchrooms and cafeterias, as well as for cafes.

Be sure to look in the left hand column of that page for VIEW ALL REPORTS, then AREA DEMOGRAPHICS. This is information compiled from the U.S. Census, and provides valuable information on your potential clientele base. Because your banker will know this information, it is important for you to know it as well. 

YOUR LIKELY LENDER/INVESTOR

The SBA is probably your best bet.   

YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE

Your website will promote your business, and may offer online ordering. Be sure that it to reflects the style and quality of your cafe.

YOUR CAFE BUSINESS PLAN

Make your cafe as unique as you are. You will be a cornerstone in your community -- wear that distinction with pride.

Jamie N.

We were debating between an internet cafe and a coffee house type of cafe, and we are still debating.  There doesn't seem to be a clear distinction between them.  I think if we had some guidance on how to decide, we could proceed easier.

Larry and Mel

I'm not sure what we are going to call our place, a coffee house, a cafe, the "local neighborhood joint", but I believe it is going to be friendly, with good food and good friends AND good books.  I am just so anxious to really get started.

We have so many amazing artists here, from pottery to oils to turquoise jewelry.  Ours is an artists' cafe, with decoration furnished by our artistic friends.  We are just so anxious to open!

My wife is an accomplished photographer.  We've been looking for a way of promoting her work, and a cafe with her work and some photography books would be perfect.  Now we're getting the stuff together for the banker, but we are on our way.
