Largento's Pizza is a new player in the restaurant industry. The restaurant is in a comfortable, familiar, small town that has a strong need for additional dining options. Bolstered by the need for more choices in family-oriented dining experiences, combined with the option for home-delivery, the restaurant is positioned to take advantage of the market need and serve the families in the Town of Freedom area.
The Town of Freedom's population is rapidly growing with new subdivisions and young families moving to the rural suburb of the Appleton area. It is Largento's Pizza's strategy to exploit the first-mover opportunity and establish itself as the preferred pizza provider to the area. We believe a locally-owned restaurant is the best option to serve the rapidly growing population with a fresh, unique menu as opposed to a national chain franchise.
This business plan calls for an exciting, profitable start-up year ahead with future forecasted growth as we meet the demands of the community. In all, this plan describes a healthy company with good growth prospects, looking to manage its orderly growth in the near future.
Highlights
The objectives for Largento's Pizza are:
Largento's Pizza creates a friendly and pleasant atmosphere for customers in a well-designed, and productive environment in which people can work happily. We are sensitive to the look and taste of good pizza as well as to high-quality ingredients. We look to provide the best possible value to our customers who desire great tasting pizza and to provide customers with the satisfaction of receiving a great value, both tangibly and intangibly. Additionally, we are the first home-deliverer of pizzas in our area.
Our customers are our neighbors as we are residents of our market area. We will also create and nurture a healthy, creative, respectful, and fun working environment, in which our employees are fairly compensated and encouraged to respect the customer and the quality of the product we produce. We seek fair and responsible profit, enough to keep the company financially healthy for the long term and to fairly compensate owners and investors for their investment and risk.
1.3 Keys to SuccessThe keys to success in this business are:
Largento's Pizza is a privately-owned pizza restaurant offering a product menu that does not currently exist in the area and first to offer home delivery. Our customers are many of the young families and students in the area.
2.1 Company OwnershipLargento's Pizza will be established as a limited liability company (LLC) with Edwin J. and Karen M. Krejcie as the sole members.

Start-up
Largento's Pizza offers high quality pizza to a growing community that currently has limited availability of restaurants and no availability to delivery. At start up we will be open for dinner 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday - Thursday and 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. We will consider opening earlier and serving lunch if there is a demand, and if forecast and financial analysis can justify the increased costs.
Our menu will include 4 sizes of pizzas with various combinations of toppings. Predefined, high-margin pizzas will be highlighted on the menu. Additionally, breadsticks, beer, and soda will be included in the initial menu offerings.
Our primary target market is people who desire a comfortable, family-oriented environment for dine-in pizza. Our secondary target market also desires a delivery service for pizza, or a take-out approach. There is overlap of these segments.
The Town of Freedom and its surrounding communities are a growing middle-class area with nearly 14,000 residents. A majority of these residents are families of four or more. The boom in the area is primarily in response to an exodus of families moving out of the over-populated areas and into a more rural setting.
According to a Growth Plan the Town of Freedom conducted in 2001, population within Freedom is expected to increase. However, the number of persons per household is expected to decline, meaning the need for additional housing in Freedom will continue to grow. From the same plan, population is listed as being evenly distributed by age groupings, with approximately 33% of the population being minors. Another 40% are less than 54 years of age, indicating a major concentration of the Town of Freedom population being families. The report forecasts there being nearly 1,900 households in the Town of Freedom by 2005. This is driving the need for more quality, family-oriented restaurants.
Additionally, the Town of Freedom residents frequently visit the building in which Largento's Pizza is located. DJ Tanning & Video is adjacent to the restaurant, so we are providing a new convenience for families to select a movie and pick up a pizza.
With the expected continued growth in the area, estimated at 7% annually, opportunities to serve the Town of Freedom and its surrounding communities will increase. The company will sell predominantly to individuals, but it will also accept some catering jobs to individual parties, schools, and company functions in the Town of Freedom.
4.1 Market SegmentationThose residents of neighboring communities of Freedom, including Oneida, Sniderville, and Center Valley are included in the Market Segmentation. Only those residents of Freedom are included in the delivery, as delivery radius is limited to a 5-mile radius in the Town of Freedom. An estimated 53% of Freedom residents live within the Sanitary District, or within this 5-mile radius.

Market Analysis (Pie)
Including Freedom and its surrounding areas, no pizza establishments exist. In the Town of Freedom one to two restaurants serve pizza, but not as a primary menu item. These pizza outlets are in taverns which are not conducive to family-type atmosphere. No eating establishments in the Freedom area provide home-delivery service.
4.3 Service Business AnalysisOther family-oriented restaurants in the area include: Subway(R), What's Cookin' diner, and Colonial House supper club. Subway serves sandwiches, wraps, and salads, none of which are direct competition to the pizza establishment. The diner is open until 2 p.m. each day and focuses on the breakfast crowd, with a limited sandwich availability for lunch. The supper club has a Chicken and Pizza buffet once a week for approximately $6; the pizza served as part of the buffet are frozen pizzas.
Other restaurants in the Town of Freedom are taverns and are not conducive to family activities. One of the bars in Freedom serves a homemade pizza.
In conversations with an independent pizza operator in Waupaca, Wisconsin, he indicated pizza sales in his community are thriving despite competition from 4 other pizza establishments, including Pizza Hut(R). While exact figures were not shared, he indicated a high level of penetration into the pizza market in his area with profitable margins. He also provided suggestions and tips to minimize costs, and components of his restaurant he would do differently, including payroll handling, vendors, and layout.
4.3.1 Competition and Buying PatternsThere is minimal competition for pizza in the Freedom area, besides the bar establishments previously mentioned. The closest locales for pizza to the Freedom area are Little Chute, Kimberly, and Seymour. None of these competing pizza locations deliver to the Freedom area. Additionally, Largento's Pizza would be the only family-oriented, non-smoking restaurant in Freedom.
Our strategy is based on delivering a strong customer value proposition in a niche market. The world is full of small, family-oriented towns that do not have endless opportunities for dining out. We are looking to offer the Town of Freedom and its surrounding areas a new choice in food options.
Also:
Our competitive edge is to be first-to-the-market with pizza in a friendly, non-smoking, family-oriented dine-in experience, and first-to-the-area with food delivery.
Additionally, the location of Largento's Pizza is crucial as a convenience model to customers. Town of Freedom residents frequent the video rental store adjacent to the restaurant. This location is directly in the center of activity in this rural community--it is within walking distance of the middle and high schools, the local church, and within 2 miles of the existing large subdivisions and apartment complexes in the area.
5.2 Marketing StrategyTo drive customers to Largento's Pizza, we will employ several techniques outlined below.
Advertising in Post Crescent, Seymour Buyer's Guide, Freedom Pursuit, and Freedom Shopping News will be used to promote the Grand Opening of Largento's Pizza. As part of the advertising, a coupon will be available to customers. Intermittent newspaper advertisements will continue throughout the year to promote upcoming events. Most initiatives will focus on the local Freedom papers as the target of these papers is specifically the Town of Freedom residents. Additional marketing efforts will come in the form of on-box coupons for future purchases.
Additionally, family-oriented events will be hosted by Largento's Pizza to attract customers such as trivia nights, birthday parties, and prize giveaways. Frequent buyer cards will be employed to entice repeat customers. Largento's Pizza will also sponsor a local Little League baseball team, and a bowling team to publicize the restaurant within the community events.
Future plans of working in coordination with the adjacent video store to offer "bundle savings" if both pizza and video rentals are purchased will be pursued within the second year of operation.
5.3 Sales StrategyThe Town of Freedom area has expressed its need for additional restaurants, specifically a desire for pizza. Because of this, there is pent-up demand for pizza in this area. We will expect a high rate of sales growth within the first 3 months as this customer desire is met.
For the next year, we continue to focus on a growing presence in the community and advertising heavily throughout the community. As a major convention center and water park open in nearby Kaukauna, we will focus our attention on becoming the recognized provider of pizza to that establishment.
5.3.1 Sales ForecastOur sales forecast assumes a 5% change in annual costs to accommodate new entry into the market.
We are expecting to increase sales from over $240,000 to $276,000 in the next year, which is a 7% growth rate. The growth forecast is assumed given this is a new product for the area using new channels of availability. We are not projecting significant change in the product line, or in the proportion between different lines.
Based on industry averages and the absence of competition for pizza in the Freedom area, we are predicting an average of 25 pizzas sold each week night (Sunday - Wednesday). On the weekends (Thursday - Saturday), we are estimating 40 pizzas are sold each day. Of those pizzas ordered, we are expecting approximately 1/3 to be dine-in customers. Those customers dining in will most likely order drinks and/or beer (on average 4 for each family). Additionally, we are estimating that approximately one-third of the pizza orders will be accompanied by an order for breadsticks. Our estimated average prices for each item are as follows:
| Sales Forecast | |||
| FY 2005 | FY 2006 | FY 2007 | |
| Sales | |||
| Pizza | $133,900 | $143,808 | $153,875 |

Milestones
The Largento's Pizza website will be the virtual business card and portfolio for the company, as well as its online "home." It will showcase the history, product information, and offers for Largento's Pizza. Special online-only offers will be made available on the website, along with customer's opportunity to sign-up for email news and offers.
The Largento's Pizza website needs to be a simple yet classy and well designed website that, at the same time, is in keeping with the latest trends in user interface design. Customers will be coming to the site for product information, history, and offers.
Future elements of the site can contain online ordering, if customers express an interest in this functionality.
6.1 Website Marketing Strategy Our Internet marketing activities will be focused on product information and offers. Future opportunities exist in offering online ordering. 6.2 Development RequirementsThe Largento's Pizza website will be initially developed with few technical resources. A simple hosting provider, Yahoo! Web services, will host the site and provide the technical back end. The owner's expertise in professional Web development will lead this effort.
The user interface designer will work with a graphic artist to come up with the website logo, and the website graphics.
The maintenance of the site will be done by the owners. If the website rolls out future development such as newsletters and online ordering, the internal staff at Largento's Pizza will design, implement, and execute the technology.
We are a small company owned and operated by Edwin and Karen Krejcie, husband and wife, as a partnership.
Management style reflects the participation of the owners. The company respects its community of co-workers and treats all workers well.
Karen Krejcie is a 1998 graduate of Indiana University E. W. Kelley School of Business with High Honors and Distinction in Business. Her experience with general business, technology, and operations is a great asset to this venture.
Additionally, Mike Largent is an advisor to the owners. Mike is a 1991 graduate of Vanderbilt University with a degree in Economics. Furthermore, Mike graduated in 1995 with a Masters in Business Administration from Indiana University E. W. Kelley School of Business with emphases in Marketing and Finance. Mike held a senior finance management position with Frito Lay for 5 years. Mike is currently a managing consultant with a marketing strategy firm, Zyman Group, in Atlanta, Georgia. He also spent 5 years in KPMG Peat Marwick's Strategic Services consulting practice.
7.1 Personnel PlanThe personnel table assumes a level need of employees, and 5% per annum pay raises. Staffing for a 7-day a week restaurant necessitates two shifts. In addition to the hours open for serving we anticipate an additional hour before opening for prep and as much as an hour after closing for cleanup. This is approximately 8 hours of staffing necessary Sunday - Thursday and 10 hours on both Friday and Saturday.
The two kitchen lead positions are part-time, earning $9/hr. The kitchen leads will serve as the shift leaders of the kitchen/wait staff. Kitchen staff will serve as the wait staff. There will be one dedicated dishwashing position per shift. Wages for kitchen/wait staff, dishwashers, and delivery drivers, who are all part-time, are $6/hr, with opportunities for all to share the combined earn tips. It is imperative the people serving as the kitchen lead are over 21 and can legally serve alcohol.
Hourly part-time positions as kitchen/wait, dishwashing, and delivery staff average out to be approximately 30 hours per week each. Delivery staff will work 5 hour shifts each night, with an extra delivery staff member added on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. During the week if this person is not delivering, they will work in the kitchen as needed, directed by the kitchen lead.
| Personnel Plan | |||
| FY 2005 | FY 2006 | FY 2007 | |
| Kitchen Leads | $28,080 | $29,484 | $30,958 |
| Kitchen/Wait | $37,440 | $39,312 | $41,278 |
| Dishwasher | $15,600 | $16,380 | $17,199 |
| Owner | $9,000 | $9,450 | $9,923 |
| Delivery | $15,600 | $16,380 | $17,199 |
| Total People | 12 | 12 | 12 |
| Total Payroll | $105,720 | $111,006 | $116,556 |
The financial picture is quite encouraging. We will be slow to take on debt and heavily investing our own assets, but with our increase in sales we do expect to apply for a credit line with the bank, to a limit of $50,000. The credit line is supported by assets.
8.1 Important AssumptionsThe financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table. The key underlying assumptions are:
| General Assumptions | |||
| FY 2005 | FY 2006 | FY 2007 | |
| Plan Month | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Current Interest Rate | 6.00% | 6.00% | 6.00% |
| Long-term Interest Rate | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% |
| Tax Rate | 30.00% | 30.00% | 30.00% |
| Other | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Our break-even analysis is based on running costs, the "burn-rate" costs we incur to keep the business running, not on theoretical fixed costs that would be relevant only if we were closing. The essential insight here is that our sales level seems to be running comfortably above break-even.
| Break-even Analysis | |
| Monthly Revenue Break-even | $16,283 |
| Assumptions: | |
| Average Percent Variable Cost | 24% |
| Estimated Monthly Fixed Cost | $12,454 |
Break-even Analysis
We expect to be profitable in the first year, with profits increasing over the next two years, as we establish a loyal customer base.
