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 17^th 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 Pizza Segment of the Industry

According to InfoUSA, Inc. there are now 74,992 as of December 31, 2007 vs.  74,417 Pizza Restaurants SIC (5812-22), in the U.S. as of June 30^th, 2007 showing a large slow down in new store openings for the second half of 2007. Only 575 new stores were added to the US yellow pages in the second half of 2007 vs. the 3,074 that were added in the first half of 2007, there were 71,343 listed in December 31, 2006. Growth will continue to be issue in 2008 as the Economy slows and Families become even more concerned with the weekly budget.  Profitability will be the issue as competition continues to hold pricing down for the consumer while the operator focuses on margins, already milk, cheese, wheat and gasoline prices have all achieved record levels in 2007. The volatility in commodities prices combined with a tight labor market and competition holding menu prices down will continue to test  Operators’ ability to squeeze the most out of the margins in 2008. Whether you are starting a new Pizza Restaurant are looking to raise additional capital to expand your currently profitable Restaurant, or looking to evaluate and value your Restaurant 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 representing 4% of the U.S. Gross National Product in the most competitive Industry in the world. Your management decisions will decide whether your Restaurant 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 Restaurant 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 restaurant 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.
