1.0 Executive Summary

Gabri's Lounge & Restaurant is a 60 seat fine-dining restaurant with a 20 seat lounge. We focus on our New American-Swedish menu with a touch of Asian influence.

We will be located in the booming, and rapidly expanding, borough of Long Branch, New Jersey 'on the shore.'

The outlook for the future of Long Branch is promising. Developers are recreating a $150 million first-class resort project. The old pier will be rebuilt with ferry service to Manhattan, New York City, beach cabanas, boardwalk and a bike path over a total of 25 acres. There will be 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, and over 700 residential units with condo and townhouses ranging from $200,000-$500,000; rentals from $1000-$2,500 a month, and a two-tier garage. The combination of these elements will provide the city with a year-round economy.

The area is in need of a warm and friendly place with excellent food. A place where you always know you will get the best of everything. Gabri's Lounge & Restaurant will feature a cozy dining room and an elegant lounge. Comfortable furnishings and decor with soothing warm tones. The lounge has comfy couches and antique love seats with a softly lit bar. It will be the perfect place to stop in for a bite to eat, for a drink or for a small business meeting. For extra comfort and to please a large group of people we will make up special hors d' oeuvre platters for customers.

The menu will be inspired from different countries' specialties and appeal to a diverse clientele. You can get Swedish specialties like herring, gravlax and meatballs, or you can go a little bit more International and choose a red curry chicken with basmati rice, or an Asian grilled shrimp with spinach, tofu and black bean sauce. We will also have a special pasta dish entree every day plus the 'all American meal' such as barbecue beef ribs and baked beans. Adding value will be an interesting business lunch menu with specialties every day. The menu will change every 3-4 months but keep the favorites. Prices will be competitive with other upscale restaurants in the area. However, it is the strategy of Gabri's Lounge & Restaurant to give a perception of higher value than its competitors, through its food, service and entertainment.

The lounge and restaurant will be open seven days a week. We will offer special theme nights to attract new customers to Gabri's. The restaurant will be fine dining in a cozy atmosphere. Warm colors, fresh flowers, soft music, candles and amazing artwork from some of the areas most notable new artists. This will contribute to a sense of community and give new artists a chance to show their work for a diverse clientele. During the busy summer months you can also sit outside on our patio and we will offer a special summer menu, featuring lighter fare, exotic drinks, as well as non-alcoholic offerings. The patio and garden setting will be a fun and casual atmosphere for the summer crowd.

The service will be relaxed, very friendly and correct. We will hire the best people available, training, motivating and encourage them, and thereby retaining the friendliest most efficient staff possible. Our management team is comprised of individuals whose backgrounds consist of 50 years experience in food, restaurant and hotel, catering, management, finance, marketing, art and motion pictures.

Catering will be a major part of the business. "Leave it to linda Catering" already has an established clientele and we are growing each and every day. We feel in today's hectic work schedule customers don't always have time to set up that birthday party or other event that we all need and want. Now customers can leave it to pros and get the finest, most memorable party or dinner ever. We have years of experience in the catering business and know what an important client wants and needs. We will have a large International menu for customers to select from, and we will offer full catering service providing everything from table settings to the dessert. We anticipate our total sales allocation to be 85% restaurant sales and 15% catering sales. The combined cost of sales will be 33% producing a gross profit of 67% on total sales.

Most important to us is our financial success and we believe this will be achieved by offering high-quality service and excellent food with an interesting twist. We have created financial projections based on our experience and knowledge of the area. With a start-up expenditure of $385,000 we can generate $1,085,465 in sales by the end of year two, and produce good net profits by the end of year three.

We are seeking an SBA 7(A) loan guaranty for $200,000 with a 7% interest rate. We are investing $60,000 of our own capital and seeking to raise an additional $125,000 from investors. Our preferred instrument will be five year subordinated notes with an attractive coupon rate of 12% for the first two years and 15% for the remaining three years. At the end of five years the investors' notes will have matured and original principal plus a 2% premium and the final interest payment will be made. Our investor philosophy is conservative. Since restaurant start-ups are so speculative our belief and commitment to our investors will be to pay a generous, predictable rate of return while not strangling our operational cash flow. As our business becomes more established and reliable, our ability to pay an improved return of capital will be evidenced by an increased coupon rate of 15% of original principal. At maturity we feel it proper to retire the notes with a 2% premium to original principal invested.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary

Gabri's focuses on local and tourist restaurant seekers. People that have a desire for good food and a fascinating atmosphere.

Long Branch is located 50 miles south of New York City and 75 miles north of Atlantic City on the 'Jersey shore.' The city of Long Branch is in the process of revitalizing. In 2003, the city will be developing a new look and will be attracting a larger community of affluent residents.

Long Branch tomorrow: The ocean front district includes five sectors which are identified as:

1. Pier/Village Center (mixed commercial, entertainment & residential),
2. Beach Front North (residential & entertainment),
3. Beach Front South (residential),
4. Hotel Campus (office & hotel) and
5. Broadway Gateway (mixed commercial).

The boundaries for Pier Village are Melrose Terrace to Laird Street, and from Ocean Avenue to Ocean Boulevard. The developer has broken ground to build 420 residential units, including a two-tier garage, 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, beach cabanas and a restoration of the boardwalk.

Beach Front North is located above the Hotel Campus and just south of Seven Presidents Park. It will have 350 residential units, 1,100 parking spaces, and a bike path over an area of 25 acres. This project, along with Pier Village, will change the face of the city's ocean front for the next hundred years and provide a major economic boost to the city of Long Branch. 

The influx of permanent residents will provide the city with a legitimate year-round economy. One to three-bedroom rentals with 850 to 1,200 sq. ft.. will range from $1,000 to $2,500 a month. The condominiums will range in size from 1,000 to 2,000 sq. ft. and in price from $200,000 to $400,000; the townhouses, with 1,500 to 2,500 sq. ft., will cost $225,000, to more than $500,000.

The new, 600-foot pier offers ferry service to Manhattan, New York City. The hotel facility now hosts 60,000 guests a year and is planning to add a tower with 250 more rooms.

As the city of Long Branch is re-developing, we can see that a fine dining establishment like Gabri's  is needed here. The city will have much to offer and the people that it draws expect a place where they will get the best of everything. Gabri's Lounge and Restaurant will offer a new fine dining concept to the area. The elegant atmosphere, our excellent food and our friendly staff will stand out and make a name in Long Branch and Monmouth County. We will succeed by giving people a combination of excellent and interesting food in an environment that attracts successful people that want to get a little bit more out of life than just the ordinary!

Market Analysis (Pie)

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

Gabri's Lounge & Restaurant will focus on attracting a wide and diverse clientele ages 25-60 with an annual income of at least $30,000.

We want the business man, happy couples, high-end singles, families, tourists with money, wealthy image seekers and compulsive spenders. We focus on these specific groups because these are the types of people who frequent other restaurants and bars in the area.

Our geographics include people from the local Long Branch area, restaurant patrons from neighboring cities, and tourists from other cities and states. The characteristics of our clientele will be people who are creative, entertaining and sophisticated diners.

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

Our strategy is simple, we intend to succeed by giving people a combination of excellent and interesting food in an environment that appeals to a wide and varied group of successful people. We will focus on maintaining quality and establishing a strong identity in our community. Our main focus in marketing will be to increase customer awareness in the surrounding communities. We will direct all of our tactics and programs toward the goal of explaining who we are and what we do. We will keep our standards high and execute the concept so that word-of-mouth will be our main marketing force. 

We will create an appealing and entertaining environment with unbeatable quality at an exceptional price. An exciting and friendly restaurant, we will be the talk of the town. Therefore, the execution of our concept is the most critical element of our plan. All menu items are moderately priced for the area. While we are not striving to be the lowest-priced restaurant, we are aiming to be the value leader.

5.1 Competitive Edge

Our competitive edge is the menu, the chef, the environment, the management, the service and our friendly place! We will have an international menu and our food will be made with the freshest ingredients and produce available. The chef has an excellent taste for what fine dining is and requires. Our environment is elegant and comfortable and our decor is warm and relaxing. Great service is very important to us. The management and servers will handle every detail to make customer's special evening even more special! All this and our great atmosphere will make customers want to come back again and again!

5.1.1 Main Competitors

Our biggest competition is the town next to Long Branch, called Red Bank which has a large selection of restaurants. Currently, many people who live in Long Branch drive seven miles to Red Bank to dine out. With the redevelopment in Long Branch and with Gabri's Lounge & Restaurant, we will convince these people to stay in Long Branch and eat at our restaurant.

There are three restaurants in Long Branch that are similar to Gabri's. These are also the three most popular places in Long Branch. Each of these restaurants will be important to us. We feel the clientele they have is the class of clientele that Gabri's will appeal to.

1. The first place is an 80 seat restaurant, open six days a week and serves lunch and dinner located uptown on Broadway. It is very busy for lunch as well as at dinner time. Their price range is $7-$15 for lunch and $12-$29 for dinner entrees.
2. The second is an upscale lounge/food bar with a small menu. It is located in the West End district two blocks away from the ocean. They are only open for dinner. The small items on there menu range from $8-$15 and a mixed drink is $8-$10.
3. The third place is an upscale Contemporary American restaurant at the Ocean. They are open seven days a week, dinner for two without wine averages $100.

Everyone that sells prepared meals is our competition though because we all compete for the same home meal replacement dollar. However, there are two segments of the restaurant industry that are our main competition: the casual dining restaurant concept and the fine dining value restaurant. If the value of the food and price and service is better at a fine dining restaurant than a casual restaurant, where will is a customer more likely to go?

The key is to deliver the best food at the best price with the highest level of service. This is the very definition of value. This concept is at the heart of Gabri's Restaurant & Lounge.

5.2.1 Marketing Program

We will employ three different marketing tactics to increase customer awareness of Gabri's Lounge & Restaurant. Our most important tactic will be word-of-mouth/in-store marketing. This will be by far the cheapest and most effective of our marketing programs.

Word-of-mouth/In-store Marketing

•  V.I.P. Party - We will host a V.I.P. Dinner before the 'Grand Opening.' This will serve the dual purpose of training our staff and introducing ourselves to the community. The list of individuals we will invite comes from the Chamber of Commerce.
• Grand Opening celebration.
• Once a month invite a new local artist to show their work in the lounge.
• "Restaurant Night" -  Every Monday night we will have a special evening for restaurant people. A perfect night for the local area's restaurant owners and staff to get together on a night off!
• Valentine's Day.
• Easter dinner.
• Swedish Midsummer party.
• Fourth of July celebration.
• Labor Day weekend party.
• Wine tasting dinner.
• Swedish smorgasbord.
• New Years Eve party.
• Special ethnic food nights.
• Memorial Day.

Local Store Marketing

• Make a brochure for the large hotels and popular bed & breakfast establishments in town to provide to their guests, containing interior pictures of our restaurant, menus and prices.
• There are several nursing homes in the city of Long Branch. We will approach them to sponsor meals for the elderly. This will offer us higher visibility to a group that may not be as mobile and we'll be contributing to the community in a material way. Word-of-mouth referral is very powerful and particularly amongst the elderly to both their peers and their extended families.

Local Media

• Newspaper campaign - Placing several large ads throughout the month to deliver our concept to local area.
• Direct mail piece - Containing interior pictures of our restaurant, our menu, "Theme Nights," catering and an explanation of our concept.
• Website
• Target marketing to businesses for regular business lunch and dinner entertaining.

5.3 Sales Strategy

Our sales plan is to establish and maintain position with our local customers. The strategy is to build more customers in order to increase revenue. Sales in our business is client service. It is repeat business. We will focus on making all our customers happy with our food, service and entertainment options.

Our strategy in the restaurant is to have an experienced staff that know the food, wine and liquor. We will train every new employee so they will fit in with Gabri's concept, which is "Wonderful food, reasonably-priced wine and knowledgeable service in an outstanding atmosphere."

 

5.3.1 Sales Forecast

The following table and charts show sales projections for our first twelve months. Monthly restaurant gross sales are to average $68,186. That is 30 people for lunch spending approximately $15 per person, and for dinner approximately 50 people spending an average $25 per person. Catering will average $10,471/month or three parties of $3,490 each. Our total cost of goods sold is capped at 33% of total sales. We expect sales to increase 15% after Year 1. See Income Statement in the appendix for restaurant and catering sales assumptions.

In 1992 she moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue a personal chef career. She worked for over a year for a family and catered all their personal and business events.

From there she went to work for Deluxe Motion Picture Catering in Los Angeles. Working on about 20 motion picture projects, traveling for months at a time, planning and preparing meals for hundreds of people, cooking for demanding celebrities such as Denzel Washington, Meg Ryan, Matt Damon, Adam Sandler, Damon Wayans, Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise, Kevin Spacey, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg...just to mention a few.

After five years, she left to pursue her own business, Leave it to linda Catering. In between jobs she worked in at Rive Gauche; a French fine dining restaurant as the restaurant/catering manager.

8.4 Projected Cash Flow

The cash flow depends on assumptions for inventory turnover, payment days, and accounts receivable management.

8.7 Exit Strategy

No one attempts a business anticipating failure, however sometimes ventures do not fulfill their promise. 

We at Gabri's are committed to our concept and its viability. In the event that our venture cannot achieve profitability and retire the encumbrances; we will first attempt to sell the operation and use the proceeds to clear all outstanding balances. If we are unable to sell the operation for sufficient proceeds we will forced to default whereby the SBA loan will be in senior standing. Any further outstanding balances will be borne by the investors on a weighted percentage basis of the total amounts due in bankruptcy proceedings.
