Unique Small Restaurant

[myfayt]

Where: Charlottesville, Virginia

Amount Needed: $30,000 - $40,000

Experience: Two chefs with restaurant experience, one assistant manager/cook, one full time cook.

Description: Catering to gym people, body builders. There is three major gyms in town (among private ones as well), each has thousands of members. Also 3 colleges in this town, the University of Virginia, and two others.

This restaurant would cater to the foods needed for gym people. I myself need to gain weight to gain muscle. But everything I seem to eat has tons of fat, and it's calories that is needed. My restaurant would be serving the raw foods that we must have, such as Breads, Chicken, Steak, Eggs, etc. There would be a page for body builders, and a page for people trying to lose weight.

Market Share: There is no restaurant like this in town. There are health food places, but that wouldn't be in the same market as mine.

Seating: Starting small with 8 to 10 seats (4 tables). Will work my way up.

Repayment: Will repay 10% extra on the loan. That is an extra $3,000 to $4,000. Payment term would be 18 months for full payment return, additional 5% added if not paid in time.

Advertising: Will be advertising in weekly papers, flyers, business cards, word of mouth, and possible small TV ad.

Opening Date: Planned for June 2010

Hmm, I don't think I've ever heard of a restaurant catering to bodybuilders. I would tend to think this is too small of a niche, but the way you describe it, catering to both bodybuilders (high calorie intake) and dieters (low calorie) I could see it working. Very interesting.

The 8 - 10 seats however sounds unrealistic. Way too small. I would rethink that aspect.
