Page 5
COMPANY NAME Business Plan
The restaurant should be perceived as a quick, casual, kid-friendly establishment appealing to a
comfortable mix of people, both families and singles of all ages.
Approximately 48% of all food dollars spent by consumers is spent in eating and drinking
establishments. That figure is up dramatically since 1955 in which only 25% of all consumers
spending for food and drink went to restaurants. 43% of adults are of the opinion that eating
away is as cost effective as cooking at home and cleaning up.
Expenditures on food away from home rise dramatically for households with income before taxes
of $30,000 or more. Household incomes of greater than $75,000 have increased to 28%. Higher
income households tend to spend more of their food dollar in meals away from home.
According to the National Restaurant Association’s Restaurant Spending the typical American
household spent $2,634 on food away from home, a per capita expenditure of $1054.
Households in metropolitan areas tend to spend more than households in non-metropolitan
areas. Households with income over $70,000 spent an average of $4,544, $1,466 per capita on
food away from home. Other trends noted in the report showed that adults between 35 and 54
spend more on food away from home as a result of their higher incomes. Of that group,
households headed by 35-44-year-olds spent an average of $3,234 for food away from home.
The baby boomer population, the demographic segment that has the most significant impact in
terms of marketing and menu mix, is getting older. By the year 2010, 19% of the population will
be between the ages of 50 and 64. The changing dining habits of this group will greatly influence
menus and restaurant concepts in the coming years.
Statistics show that the average adult purchased a meal 5.3 times per week in 2004. Flourishing
economic growth, changing lifestyles and a diverse ethnic population have contributed to the
variety of cuisine and restaurant concepts, making the U.S. a world leader in restaurant
innovation. Ethnic cuisines have mingled with traditional restaurant fare resulting in varied
menus at every industry segment.
Eating places, defined as full-service, limited service, cafeterias, social caterers and snack bars
by the NRA, contribute the bulk of industry food and drink sales. Of that segment, full-service
restaurant sales for 2009 are projected to reach $183 billion, a real-growth decline of 2.5% over
2008. Quick-service sales are set to increase by .4% and topping $157 billion in 2008.
COMPANY NAME analyzed the potential population growth of the adult population, as research
has shown that these are the customers who will spend the most amount of money dining
outside of the home.
Page 6
COMPANY NAME Business Plan
Early to mid 20 year olds eat out a lot, especially at affordable and casual restaurants, both for
the convenience of not having to clean up at home and to socialize.
The convenience factor also plays a large role in why late 20-early 40s decide to eat out,
especially as the size of their family begins to grow, it becomes a lot easier to eat at a relatively
inexpensive and convenient restaurant that serves good food.
The mid 40s to later 50s represent the population who are earning the most, and as studies
show, the more people earn, the more money they spent eating outside, therefore representing
another part of our target market.
Also, COMPANY NAME plans to target the baby boomers who are now in their late 50s to early
60s.

The target market for the quick casual dining industry is very broad and should incorporate most
demographic regions. Almost all ages, genders, races, and incomes should be considered
potential customers. COMPANY NAME plans to target these groups through public relations and
advertising, as well as raise awareness of the new restaurant via the Company's first restaurant,
COMPANY NAME in the Heights. They also plan on having an email campaign where it can
promote special events and offers to guests on their mailing list.
There are no specific competitors in the INSERT NAME area at this time other than Dominos
Pizza and other fast-food chains such as Subway, Burger King and Jack in the Box. COMPANY
NAME will be an exciting casual dining experience for all.
COMPANY NAME plans to open in an established and family friendly area of INSERT LOCATION.
Currently, the competition is from fast-food chains like Subway, Dominos Pizza and Burger King.
This gives COMPANY NAME an opportunity to take advantage of this gap in the market and give
the local community a place in which to dine enjoying quality food while also spending some
quality time together as a family.
Within the restaurant business, customers put price and reputation above all else - their
willingness to pay a higher price is directly proportional to a higher level of food quality within a
comfortable atmosphere. COMPANY NAME reputation as one of the top Mexican restaurants in
[CITY], [STATE] has already been solidified through word of mouth from repeat customers who
enjoy their fresh quality food, offered at reasonable prices, in a relaxing fun and family-friendly
Page 8
COMPANY NAME Business Plan
environment. COMPANY NAME aims to build up a reputation of the same caliber at this new
location.
Nearly two thirds of all restaurants now have websites including 9 out of 10 fine dining
restaurants. In addition to posting information such as menu and location, an increasing number
are expected to offer other services such as reservations, delivery and takeout ordering. The
website for the COMPANY NAME in the Heights restaurant matches the decor of the restaurant,
has a detailed map, location and contact information alongside a menu, gallery, events list
and party catering information. COMPANY NAME therefore plans on using this as a template
for its website.
COMPANY NAME plans on having a link to their website at the bottom of every email it sends out
as part of the mailing list, so that guests can access information about upcoming events and
look at the menu in advance. The Company will also buy target key word searches to
ensure the website comes up as one of the first search results for casual dining in INSERT
LOCATION. Word of mouth will also help to market the website.
The receipt of $545,000 in grant funding will be used by INSERT NAME for the following:-

COMPANY NAME Business Plan
INSERT NAME’s major strengths lies in his six years of experience owning & operating the top
COMPANY NAME franchise restaurant in INSERT LOCATION. It is this that will propel the
Company forward to create a new and fresh restaurant with a fun and friendly atmosphere,
where people can come to eat quality food in a relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant's
current opportunity is also its weakness, as INSERT LOCATION is dependent upon the sale of a
piece of land that is in a highly desirable location, in an established part of [CITY] [STATE]. This
area has minimal competition in terms of similar restaurants, therefore INSERT NAME would
then have to start looking at other location options within this community. The only threat
that they currently foresee is another economic downswing, however COMPANY NAME is
fortunate enough to be located in [CITY], [STATE] and is therefore not as at risk as other parts
of the US, according to most studies.
6.1.1 Strengths
INSERT NAME’s strengths will come first from the success of the Company's existing restaurant,
COMPANY NAME In the Heights, which produces a bottom line of 22-25% net profit, well above
the industry par. By transferring these operations skills with controllable practices, the
restaurant will be able to create a fun and casual environment for our guests to relax in and
enjoy. It will also remember the importance of guest services and employee care and
maintain these at a high level. Its last major strength will come from securing the location they
are currently looking to purchase, as there is limited restaurant competition of this magnitude
servicing these communities.
6.1.2 Weaknesses
The only current weakness comes from the fact that INSERT NAME is dependent upon the
current land owner selling his property. If he chooses not to take INSERT NAME’s offer, he will
have to look elsewhere for land upon which to develop.
6.1.3 Opportunities
The major opportunity for INSERT NAME lies in securing this specific piece of land so that it can
build the restaurant in a highly underserved area of INSERT LOCATION.
6.1.4 Threats
Although INSERT LOCATION economy has not been hit as hard compared to other areas of the
US, there's always the possibility of another economic downturn, which could potentially
threaten any business. Currently however, INSERT LOCATION has been listed as forth in
metropolitan areas for coming out of the current recession.
The restaurant's main competitive edge lies in the fact that the owner already has the
knowledge and skills to run a number one restaurant. He can therefore bring this experience to
another location and capitalize on the fact that this will be the first restaurant of its kind in the
area offering affordable fresh quality food in a casual and relaxing environment.
Page 10
COMPANY NAME Business Plan
COMPANY NAME will aggressively seek to build a database of our guests. Guests will have an
opportunity to be included in the database so they can participate in restaurant promotions such
as birthday or anniversary cards, email notification of upcoming specials, coupons,
etc. Employees will gather names in a variety of manners including: business card drop for free
lunch, guests signup book with promotional signage and menu insert promotion, amongst
others.
COMPANY NAME anticipates capitalizing on their customer database by also instituting an
effective email marketing strategy. They will give customers the option to receive email
communications from the restaurant. Customer’s privacy will be protected and they will not
email customers without their permission. The email marketing strategy will therefore include an
awareness not to inundate guests with email. Promotional content will be developed with the
goal of enticement versus quantity. The program should also incorporate tools to measure
effectiveness and customer satisfaction.
The restaurant’s marketing plan will include an active Frequent Diner program. The program will
allow us to reward our guests for their continued patronage. The program shall have flexibility to
allow us to be creative in our reward structure. Additionally, it should allow us to adapt to
changing market trends.
COMPANY NAME anticipates implementing a Frequent Diner program as a function of our POS
(Point of Sale) system. Several of the major POS systems have this feature. Alternatively, there
are several stand alone programs and the management team will thoroughly review each
program to determine which system most effectively meets the requirements to make COMPANY
NAME successful. Management will also constantly find methods to promote the restaurant to
our guests on a daily basis.
COMPANY NAME sales forecast is based upon the success it has at its current restaurant, INSERT
NAME. The new restaurant, will be providing moderately priced meals for people of all
ages within the immediate and surrounding areas. The receipt of grant money will enable it to
reach these targets. By securing the plot of land which is in an established neighborhood with
minimal competition, COMPANY NAME will be a very attractive option for the local populations.
Based off of the economic trends of the past few years, these sales forecast numbers will be
attainable even with the economy the way it is today: reaching these sales will increase cash
flow and allow the Company to reach its goals over the coming years.

COMPANY NAME growth depends on the ability to take advantage of the existing opportunities
identified in the SWOT analysis. Grant funding will enable the business to take care of start-up
costs and help secure a loan, which will ensure land acquisition and fund building
construction. By the end of the third year in business, COMPANY NAME intends to reach annual
sales of $2.5 million. Operating income then be able to provide on-going funding and cash flow,
producing steady growth and profits.
The receipt of $545,000 in grant funding will primarily be used to purchase both long and short
term assets in order to help with the start-up requirements, such as kitchen and dining room
equipment ($125,000) as well as help pay for professional services such as legal fees (total of
$50,500) and interior furnishings and equipment (security & phone systems, cash registers,
artwork/decor, music/sound systems and kitchen small wares all for $71,140. Exterior finishes
will total $38,200 and will include landscaping and signs. A total of $284,840 will therefore be
spent on starting up COMPANY NAME. The rest of the grant funding will be kept as working
capital.
Owner Investment ($300,000) and long-term borrowing in the amount of $2,350,000 will cover
the purchase of the land ($1,750,000) and construction of the restaurant building ($900,000).

The profit and loss table for COMPANY NAME is based on the performance of its existing INSERT
NAME restaurant which produces a slow but steady growth rate in sales. These numbers are

legal fees and insurance.
