The Industry

Restaurant Industry sales are expected to reach $580.1 billion in 2010, with the Industry employing almost 12.7 million individuals in 945,000 restaurant and Food Service Outlets nationwide, according to the National Restaurant Association's 2010 Restaurant Industry Forecast . The Forecast projects that while overall restaurant industry sales will increase in current dollars by 2.5% over 2009 figures, the numbers translate to an inflation adjusted decline of just 1/10th of 1  percent. Despite the economic downturn, the Industry will remain a cornerstone of the economy, representing 4% of the U.S. Gross domestic Product and employing 9% of the U.S. workforce. Restaurants will continue to adapt to the latest menu trends and consumer preferences. 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 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 have contracted by .02%  in 2009.  Flat to down .02% given the current state of the economy is actually a testimony to the current solid demographic trends at work here.  Consumer demand for little luxuries or " Small Indulgences". Rewarding oneself with a Super Premium Ice Cream purchase is a way for middle-class Americans to taste a bit of guilt free opulence—in the face of the Great Recession.

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.
