A panini shop business plan is the document you need to prepare in order to get the funding necessary to open a small sandwich and beverage retail location. Regardless of whether you'll offer seating/table service or simply operate a take-away establishment, you will need to accomplish several interrelated objectives inside of the business plan in order to get a banker's attention. In accordance with the Small Business Administration's criteria, you must show three years of financial projections including revenue forecast, cash flow, profit and loss, break-even, balance sheets, and a monthly view for Year One. The financials also require a personnel plan (showing who you hire, when, and at what rate) and a full start up summary that shows:
• The amount of capital you need
• The total starting cash you want
• The expenses you will face prior to opening the doors, by category
• The breakdown of loan versus investment
• Your allocations for marketing, overhead, etc.
The business plan's financial model should be coupled with a market analysis that looks closely at the market opportunity in the area surrounding your intended location. It should examine who lives there, the population density, their spending patterns, and importantly how many competing eateries there are, especially if any of them serve paninis. Your plan should offer a compelling marketing strategy and it must include a full bio for every owner as well as a description of the food and drink items you will offer to consumers (if you have a menu, feel free to include that). MasterPlans has been writing business plans for small restaurants and delis – both start-up and existing – ever since 2002.
