Restaurant Financial Model

A complete and professional financial model of a startup restaurant

Description
This is a comprehensive and professional yet user-friendly financial model for a startup restaurant. I have developed this model with those beginning entrepreneurs in mind who are not familiar with sophisticated financial concepts but need an industry grade investment banking quality financial model for their startups.

The model generates three financial statements and return analysis. It is illustrated by professionally designed magazine-quality charts.


Any new business starts with capital investments and construction. The model has a very flexible capex section which covers up to 15 specific restaurant capex items (can be increased if needed) each having its own cost, acquisition date and useful life period. The model also handles non-capital startup costs.

Once the capex program is completed and necessary equipment is purchased, our restaurant starts generating profits. The model uses a number of drivers to make a granular analysis of revenues and profits: average occupancy and sitting time by meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and weekday. The model allows to set selection rates by cover at various meals and takes into account monthly seasonality.


Apart from table service revenues, the model calculates take-out and delivery revenues. To arrive at gross profit by cover you can set the COGS percentage.

In addition to cost of sales of the products, there will be general operating and overhead expenses. The model handles various fixed expenses and those which are based on revenues.


Many startups are financed in part by debt. Drawing debt at right terms provides leverage and increases investor returns significantly. In this model you can choose the LTV ratio and other loan conditions.

The last stage of analysis is calculating exit proceed (or terminal value). This is needed for proper valuation, even if the shareholders are not planning to exit at that point in time.


Teamed up together, these calculations and schedules are used to build the financial statements (income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet) and return analysis for your restaurant startup project.


The findings of the model are illustrated by professionally designed magazine-quality charts.
