Have you been working in the restaurant industry and are looking to take the next step and open your own place? Or maybe you’ve finally decided to give in the urging of friends and family to start your own bakery? Whether you’ve decided or not, starting to write a business plan will help you narrow the details. A business plan will help you to understand costs, outline potential risks, as well as how you’ll manage cash flow for your business.

To help you get started we’ve created an example business plan for the food and beverage field. Our example focuses on a small bistro selling craft beer, but it will work as a framework regardless of the specific business you are considering. Click the ‘Download Tool’ button to gain access to the word document.

You can also find the same example in the Business Plan Writer, our free online tool that guides you through the process of starting your business. Just select “food and beverage” as your industry when you register.

Good luck and happy writing!
