Based upon a Full Service Specialty Coffee House with 38 seats with limited food offering, this plan easily edits to cover Espresso Bars, Coffee Houses, Specialty Coffee Shops, and Coffee Shops.

The Industry

As part of the of the Restaurant Industry the Coffee Shop segment is still one of the hottest. To get an Idea of just how strong the demand for specialty coffee and the corner Coffee Shop are, one only needs to look at U.S. facility growth. In 1997 there were just over 2400 Coffee Shops listed in the U.S. and there are now over 31,500  as of December  2009. Starbucks the number one contributor within the Industry operates/licenses  over 16,000 coffee shops in a variety of locations in some 37 countries worldwide. Quality and value have been the issue and competing has been the name of the game on both counts and it looks like efforts are working, in the  most recent Starbucks Corp quarterly filing on January 20, 2010, the world's largest coffee chain earned 33 cents a share a share in its fiscal first quarter on sales of $2.72 billion, compared with 15 cents a share on sales of $2.62 billion in the same period last year. Starbucks Corp. says people spent more money in its stores during its fiscal first quarter, and its profit more than tripled. The chain said its sales in stores open at least a year, considered a key restaurant measure, rose 4 percent for the quarter after two years of declines.

Demographic growth and demand explains a great deal of the success of Specialty Coffee growth over the last decade. The Specialty Coffee demographic represents those with some of the highest levels of disposable income aging into even more disposable income and more discerning tastes. The Industry is tied directly to the health of the U.S. Economy and consumer disposable income. The CBO anticipates that the current recession, which started in December 2007, will have lasted until the second half of 2009, making it the longest recession since World War II they anticipate that real GDP will have dropped by 2.2 percent in calendar year 2009, a steep decline. Severe economic downturns often sow the seeds of robust recoveries. During a slump in economic activity, consumers defer purchases, especially for housing and durable goods, and businesses postpone capital spending and try to cut inventories. Once demand in the economy picks up, the disparity between the desired and actual stocks of capital assets and consumer durable goods widens quickly, and spending by consumers and businesses can accelerate rapidly. Although CBO expects that the current recovery will be spurred by that dynamic, in all likelihood, the recovery will also be dampened by a number of factors. Those factors include the continuing fragility of some financial markets and institutions; declining support from fiscal policy as the effects of ARRA wane and tax rates increase because of the scheduled expiration of key tax provisions; and slow wage and employment growth, as well as a large excess of vacant houses.

Source: Congressional Budget Office Economic Projections and revisions.

 In CBO’s forecast, real GDP increases by 2.1 percent between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2010 and by 2.4 percent in 2011. Given CBO’s estimate of growth in potential output, those GDP growth rates will narrow the difference between actual output and potential output (the output gap) only slightly. Growth of real GDP will accelerate after 2011, spurred by stronger business investment and residential construction.

Source: Congressional Budget Office Economic Projections and revisions.

The rebound in GDP and will also affect real disposable income growth which is expected to grow by 1.2% in 2010 after .50% growth in 2009. For 2012 through 2014, CBO projects that real GDP will increase by an average of 4.4 percent per year, which would close the output gap completely by the end of 2014. Even though economic activity began to increase again during the second half of 2009, the unemployment rate continued to rise, finishing the year at 10.0 percent. Hiring usually lags behind output during the initial stages of a recovery because firms tend to increase output first by boosting productivity and by raising the number of hours that existing employees work; adding employees tends to occur later. CBO expects that the unemployment rate will average slightly above 10 percent in the first half of 2010 and then turn downward in the second half of the year. As the economy expands further, the rate of unemployment is projected to continue declining until, in 2016, it reaches 5 percent, which is equal to CBO’s estimate of the rate of unemployment consistent with the usual rate of job turnover in U.S. labor markets. Reflecting the large amount of slack in the economy, inflation will decrease further from its already low level in 2009, CBO forecasts. The core price index for personal consumption expenditures (that is, the PCE price index excluding the prices of food and energy) will rise by about 1 percent (on a fourth-quarter-to-fourth-quarter basis) in 2010 and by 0.9 percent in 2011. The overall PCE price index will rise by 1.4 percent in 2010 and 1.1 percent in 2011.

For operators just getting started this may be the best time within the business cycle to plan and open your new facility understanding that with interest rates still at all time low levels and marginal operators going out of business you will have accounted for the marginal efficiencies necessary to not only survive against the competition but to thrive as we continue to cycle once again into economic expansion.

The Drive Thru Concept ramps up

The laid-back, relaxing ambiance of the coffeehouse helped convert more than half of Americans into espresso drinkers during the 1990s. Time is everything now and as comfortable as they may be, sit-down espresso Coffee shops often aren't an option for the on-the-go commuter or the harried parent with a car full of kids. In December of 2005 there were 1,050 drive-thru locations added to Starbucks stores in North America.  At the end of Fiscal 2006 the Company Operated 1600, that’s a jump of 152%.  Why the huge push into Drive thru in the last two years? McDonalds tested and then completely switched to premium coffee at the end of 2006 to compete directly with Starbucks for the Specialty Coffee consumer in a hurry and it has proved to be successful for them in not only capturing the customer but in getting Starbucks attention. Drive thru service at Starbucks has been well received and includes a wide range of customers who are able to order from the same menu that in store guests select from. Whether they are mothers with sleeping infants in the car or busy executives on the way to work – to those that don’t want to walk through bad weather to get their morning cup of coffee – it seems the convenience of never getting out of the car still appeals to the masses.

Starting a small business is always risky, and the chance of success is slim. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, over 50% of small businesses fail in the first year and 95% fail within the first five years. Whether you are starting a new specialty coffee cafe are looking to raise additional capital to expand your currently profitable specialty coffee business, or looking to evaluate and value your business to sell, current statistics prove that you will do much better with a business plan than without.  According to Dunn and Bradstreet the primary reasons for failure vary, but all of the reasons  come under the category of poor planning. You are a part of the second largest Industry in the United States representing 4% of the U.S. Gross National Product in the most competitive Industry in the world. Your management decisions will decide whether your coffee business survives or thrives in the face of increased competition. The most important benefit of a business plan is that it sets the stage for the future of your business as you want it to be positioned in the marketplace. A business plan will make it easy for your banker to take action as he/she gains insight into the details of your business and the goals that you have outlined. Potential investors can review your plan and decide whether or not to make an investment based upon the risk. You will benefit most as you study and gain detailed insight into your own operations. Updating and constantly reviewing your plan will give you more insight as both a manager and decision maker.
 

TIME IS MONEY...We have estimated that it takes an average of 100 hours to research, and write a comprehensive business plan within any Industry. Creating and compiling the five year financial plan and forecasts including 5 years of budgets, income statements, balance sheets, cash flow analysis, and key financial ratio analysis can take more than 20 hours of work by you or your accountant. Now consider sitting down in front of your computer to edit and fill in the details of an already written and organized sample coffee cafe restaurant business plan and outline. Whether you are starting a full size cafe with an extensive menu or just a themed coffee bar , are looking for expansion capital to open your second location, or want to sell your multi unit chain, you will be able to edit this plan into your own.
