Based upon a 34 seat neighborhood Ice Cream Shop making its' own fresh Micro Batch Ice Cream Flavors daily along with specialty coffee and limited breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. Can be edited for any type of Ice Cream concept also includes wholesale as well as retail sales of home made pints, quarts, and pies. 

The Industry

A cornerstone of America's economy restaurants are the nation's largest private-sector employers, generating an annual economic impact of $1 trillion. Every dollar spent dining out generates more than two dollars for other industries. On an average day in 2008 the Industry will generate more than 1.53 billion dollars in sales. According to the National Restaurant Association the nation’s more than 945,000 restaurants will reach an estimated $558 Billion in sales in 2008. The  projected 4.4% increase over 2007’s $537 billion forecast would represent a slowdown in Industry growth  but the association is still forecasting that 2008 will be the 17th year of real sales growth despite the ongoing credit crunch and higher commodities prices. The Federal Reserve has recently noted that they believe GDP will only grow by 1.8% to 2.5% in 2008 down from the CBOs forecast of a revised downward 2.9% growth in 2008. 

The Foodservice Industry is very sensitive to national and regional economic conditions and consumer disposable income. Inflation, fuel prices and other factors, (declining property values) all affect consumer confidence and the frequency and amount that consumers spend on food prepared away from home. The second half of 2007 has already proved to be a very tough environment for operators as energy and commodity prices soared and traffic slowed. In their most recent first quarter of 2008 conference call for Sysco, Inc. the largest Food Service distributor in the U.S., Management noted that some commodities prices have started to moderate but it is still an operators market and the question now is whether operators can and will continue to pass those costs on to consumers. Management also noted that this part of the business cycle is nothing new and their operators have planned and managed their way through these contractions in the market place several times over the last 30 years so expectations at Sysco are still for double digit earnings growth for the next five years. 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 continuing to fall 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 cycle once again into economic expansion.

The Ice Cream Segment

The Global Market for Ice Cream is now more than  22 billion dollars annually. Ice cream and related frozen desserts are consumed by more than 93% of households in the United States and we now consume more than 1.6 billion gallons annually. In the U.S. about 50% is sold through Super Markets and 50% at your local Ice Cream Parlor. As part of the Snack and Non Alcoholic beverage bar segment of the US restaurant Industry..the Retail Ice Cream Shop market in the US is currently projected to grow through 2008 at a rate of more than 6%.  Solid demographic trends are at work here. The first trend is a consumer demand for little luxuries. Rewarding oneself with a Super Premium Ice Cream purchase is a way for middle-class Americans to taste a bit of opulence—to take a 10-minute vacation especially with the state of the economy. Add in lower price expectations this year for Butterfat and you have a much better year for operators in 2008.

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 Ice Cream Parlor are looking to raise additional capital to expand your currently profitable Ice Cream Parlor, or looking to evaluate and value your Ice Cream 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, the Food Service Industry,  representing 4% of the U.S. Gross National Product in the most competitive Industry in the world. Your management decisions will decide whether your 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 Ice Cream Shop 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, key financial ratio analysis, and break even 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 Ice Cream Shop business plan and outline. Whether you are starting a traditional Ice Cream Parlor, or a Specialty Shop with Gourmet Micro Batch Ice Cream made fresh everyday served with fresh gourmet Coffee, are looking for expansion capital to open your second facility, or want to sell your multi Parlor chain, you will be able to edit this plan into your own.
