  • Debt funding – this section covers any loans or debt financing the restaurant might have, including interest and repayment schedules.
  • Equity funding – this part deals with dividends, returns on investment, and equity contributions.
• Sensitivities
  • Operational – these are what-if analyses that examine how changes in variables like table turnover rates and pricing can impact the restaurant’s financials.
  • Financial – the model allows to explore the effects of variations in financial parameters, such as leverage ratios and debt tenor.
  • Macroeconomics – consider the potential impacts of factors like inflation and interest rates on the restaurant’s performance.

What is the model used for:

• Financial Planning: helping restaurant owners or managers forecast revenues, costs, and profitability. It allows for a more informed decision-making process by providing a clear picture of the financial health of the restaurant.
• Scenario Analysis: running various scenarios and assess the impact of changes in different parameters (e.g., pricing, financing options) on the restaurant’s financial performance.
• Investor Communication: if you’re seeking investors, the template can be a valuable tool to present your restaurant’s financial projections and demonstrate the potential return on investment.
• Performance Monitoring: once the restaurant is operational, you can use this template to monitor actual financial performance against the projections and make necessary adjustments as needed to stay on track.
