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 29,000. Starbucks the number one contributor within the Industry operates/licenses  over 15,000 coffee shops in a variety of locations in some 37 countries worldwide and has continued to see double digit growth in sales and earnings over the last five years. The Company reported full year 2007 revenue of $9.4 billion. Even with slower growth in 2008 the Company expects to continue to deliver double digit sales growth but has recently warned that higher dairy costs and slower transaction growth will mean a slower 2008 over 2007.  Even still the company has forecast that it will see revenues grow by 17% to 18% in 2008.

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 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.

ALREADY RESEARCHED....ALREADY WRITTEN
The Industry Analysis included, was written based upon current sources including the National Coffee Association and the National Restaurant Associations' current Industry Analysis and trends reports and covers full service as well as limited service facilities. Now use your computer's word processor to turn this sample plan into your own.
