An Indian restaurant business plan, like any document designed to secure funding for a restaurant, first needs to establish that there is sufficient need in the market to support an Indian restaurant. If you are already in operation you'll have a leg up (and you should provide details on past performance as well as your company history to help influence investors), but your average Indian restaurant start-up has an uphill battle in front of it to get bank funding or angel investment in support of a new eatery. While Indian food is delicious and appeals to people from many cultures, you'll need to show that the market you plan to target is not already saturated with comparable options. Your business plan should show:
• What do you consider to be the target market profile?
• What is the average receipt likely to be?
• What COGS will you have in a typical meal?
• What rent and other overhead costs will the space have?
• What methods will you employ to promote the Indian restaurant?
An Indian restaurant business plan needs to provide a comprehensive pro forma that estimates the financial performance of your business for a period of five years. (While many bank plans only need a three-year model, restaurants are commonly required to show five years.) The model needs to reveal the amount of funding you seek, how you will use it, the break-even timeline you project, the ultimate profitability of the venture, and the share that you propose an investor have. Beyond the financial model, you will need to perform a thorough market analysis that shows who the best-performing restaurant owners in the area are and where the nearest true comparables are located.
