What Makes "Your" Restaurant Business Plan "Yours"

Truthfully, there isn't a whole lot of difference in the type of information that is needed in a Mexican restaurant business plan and a seafood business plan.  They all need core information, like

  • Explanation of the business
  • Financial projections
  • Information on the principals
  • Marketing information

... and most of all, lenders need to know that you've got the stuff to make it profitable.

That's no small request.  How do you prove to a lender that you know enough to make it profitable?  Especially for a restaurant this is hugely important because restaurants have one of the highest failure rates among all businesses.

There are three strong steps you can take to demonstrate your leadership skill:

(1)  BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION.  This is not a one or two paragraph summary of what restaurants you have managed.  No, this is a full page outlining your successes in the restaurant industry.  (And if you haven't got any successes, don't even think about getting outside financing.)
(2)  UNIQUE FINANCIAL SUMMARIES.  It is real easy to plunk numbers into a spreadsheet and show a very nice growth curve in your restaurant business plan.  Don't do it.  Find a way to demonstrate that you've got a Plan B, and maybe even a Plan C, waiting in the wings.  If you've gone through tough economic times before, you know exactly what we mean.
(3)  MAKE THIS RESTAURANT BUSINESS PLAN YOUR OWN.  Filling in the blanks just doesn't cut it.  As a strong leader, you need exceptional creativity and communication skills.  Here is where you demonstrate it.

A hot dog stand won't need as much information, nor as sophisticated a presentation, as a steak house.  That is why we recommend the 7 Step Restaurant Business Plan.  It is flexible.  It uses tools you already know, like MS Word and Excel, and it guides you through every step of the process ... no matter what kind of restaurant you are planning.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

restaurant business planOverall rating: (4.9 out of 58 reviews).  Here's a sampling:

Charlie Denunzia. "I didn't believe that this business plan would work for a hamburger joint, but it was perfect.  It gave me all the ideas I needed, and just enough of a shove in the right direction."

Jeanne d'Orleans.  "Magnifique!  Seriously, this process answered the hard questions, like how is my restaurant different than all the others that have not made it.  More to the point, I was able to convince my husband of it.  My banker, too, but that was easier than convincing my husband. ~ smiley ~"

Sammy's Place.  "I worked in a great, really great hamburger place for several years.  I just move and am opening a new restaurant, just like the other one that I worked in.  The business plan really helped me get my ideas down on paper."

Carla Veneti (Alberta, Canada).  "I've been planning a great Italian eatery for years.  A great location just came available, and I'm going for it.  Yep, I need financing.  Now!"
