Business Plan
Employees:
We foresee no difficulty in hiring good employees. There are many
members of the community who have experience in the hospitality
and food services business. We also plan to have regular training
sessions for our employees in all facets of the food business on a
continuous basis through the assistance of the CLMB.
Market Size:
Our market area will be the community of The Town. We will also
serve visitors attracted through local events. In the summer time we
will also cater to the tourist traffic coming to our community.
Tourism is on the increase in our part of Quebec as there are more
travellers exploring the James Bay district. We expect that over the
next two to three years the market will increase, especially with the
community being more open to visitors and business opportunities.
Internally the community itself is growing with more band members
making it their home. There is also a greater demand for services.
Typical Customer:
Our typical customer will come from the community but in particular
the younger customer looking for a place to go to with their friends
for a fast meal or a snack. We will also cater to the late evening needs
of the younger population of The Town (60%) such as after sporting
events, parties and get-togethers. About half of the community is
male between adolescence and middle adult hood and they are active
in sports. Fast foods are most popular with this market segment. Our
take out as well as home delivery will also be popular with busy
homemakers who dont always have time to prepare meals or who
want a change and a rest from the chores of cooking.
Competition:
Other Restaurant
It is open from 8 a.m. to 8. p.m. catering breakfasts as well as full
course, sit-down meals. They also have pizza take out and delivery.
Sub Zero
Located in the Arena they sell sandwiches and subs.

3 Chip Stand
Offering hamburgers, fries, chips, snacks and occasional meals. They
are located in the west, east and north side of town.
Only The Other represents represent any year round real competition
in pizza delivery. It is our estimation that there is enough room for
both establishments. We believe that our concentration on customer
service and in meeting their need for fast and consentient good quality
food will give us an edge.
Marketing Plan:
We will put up signage on the highway coming in to town to let
travellers know that we are have pizza and fast food delivery. As well
we will be sending out flyers of our menu and of our specials to the
community through the local post office on a regular bases. We will
constantly make people aware of all of the choices they will have and
we will advertise special events offering special deals.
Potential Market:
Annual Family Restaurant Expenditures $1,400 x 800 =
$1,120,000.00. (source: family expenditures in Canada, Statistics
Canada, p.86) In our estimate this is low as native communities are
into fast foods at probably a 40% higher rate than the rest of the
country. We could bring the sales up by an additional $450,000.00.
This would bring us to an expenditure of some $1,570,000.00. The
Mitchuap restaurant alone had an annual volume of $1,000,000.00.
There Pizza sales are some 300 pizzas a week at an average price of
12.00 = 3,600.00 x 52 = 187,200.00. Overall sales with the
establishment of Sarahs should increase by 30% just because of
greater choice. We estimate that our market share should be 50% in
this area alone. Total pizza potential = $120,000.00. Mitchuap
reports that there sales in poutine and fast food exceeds pizza sales by
three = some 360,000.00.. We would estimate with the present
competition our market share to be about 20% = 72,000.00.
We thus estimate our average market share will be:
$192,000
Pricing:
Our main pricing strategy will be to be competitive with other

Underlying Assumptions
Sales: Annual Family Restaurant Expenditures $1,400 x 800 = $1,120,000.00. (source: family
expenditures in Canada, Statistics Canada, p.86) In our estimate this is low as native
communities are into fast foods at probably a 40% higher rate than the rest of the country. We
could bring the sales up by an additional $450,000.00. This would bring us to an expenditure of
some $1,570,000.00. The Mitchuap restaurant alone had an annual volume of $1,000,000.00.
There Pizza sales are some 300 pizzas a week at an average price of 12.00 = 3,600.00 x 52 =
187,200.00. Overall sales with the establishment of Sarahs should increase by 30% just because
of greater choice. We estimate that our market share should be 50% in this area alone. Total
pizza potential = $120,000.00. Mitchuap reports that there sales in poutine and fast food exceeds
pizza sales by three = some 360,000.00.. We would estimate with the present competition our
market share to be about 20% = 72,000.00.
We thus estimate our average market share will be:
$192,000.
Cost of goods sold: Fast food industry cost of goods range widely from below 25% to above
35%. The food mix in this plan includes the Chester Chicken costs and an average cost of goods
sold of 30% was used.
Wages: With seven days a week operation and double staff coverage over the supper hours it
was determined that four (4) full time equivalent staff are needed. The average hourly rate was
calculated at $8.00 plus a 15% overhead for UIC, CPP and benefits was added.
Average 13 hours of operation per day plus prep time = 15.0 hr./day
105 hrs./week
Double coverage supper hours
= 4.0 hr./day
28 hrs./week
Extra coverage for special events and busy periods
25 hrs./week
Total hours per week:
158 hrs./week
Total hours per year:
8,216 hours
/year
Total wages = 8,216 hrs. @ $8.00 = $65,728 plus 15% overhead of $9,859 = total $75,567
Owners Time & Wages: The owner will provide some of the staffing coverage, especially
during the first year for which between 16 and 24 hours a week was budgeted. (20 x 52 x $8.00 x
115% = $11,960) and we added the additional to $25,000.00
Depreciation: We are using life cycle as the bases for depreciation as Sarah is not in a taxable
situation as a sole owner. Building 28,000.00 over 20 years = 1,400.00. Equipment 14,000.00
over 7 years = 2,000.00. Office Equipment 3,000.00 over 3 years = 1,000.00. Total annual
depreciation = 4,400.00.
Loan Interest: The EEG was amortized over three (3) years using an 8% interest rate, calculated

Current Ratio

Current Liabilities

6.02
Comments: The current ratio is used to measure liquidity or ability to meet short-term debts without difficulty. The rule of thumb is that there be
$2.00 or more of current assets for each dollar of current liabilities. If this ratio is to high it may be that there is too much money tied up in
working capital that is not earning a profit.

5000
Comments: Since there are some not very liquid assets included in the calculation of the current ratio, lenders frequently like to calculate the
quick or acid test ratio. The acid test ratio has its numerator on the cash and accounts receivable. Lenders under normal circum-stances, like to
see this ratio at 1 to 1 or higher.

Comments: The total assets of a business can be financed by either liabilities(debt) or equity. The total liabilities to total
equity ratio illustrates the relationship between these two forms of financing. This ratio shows that for every $1.00 of equity
the lenders have lent $ .39. While creditors prefer not to have the debt to equity ratio to high, you will often find it more
profitable to have it as high as possible. A high debt to equity ratio is known as having high leverage, or trading on the
equity.
