Before you start drafting a business plan, think about which bar you want to open: a sports bar, karaoke bar, sushi bar or pub. Choose the type of bar is necessary in order to rent the appropriate premises and to indicate the audience of visitors. For example, if you want to open a sports bar, then you should look for a room in a densely populated area of ​​the city, where in the evening there are always people who want to watch football and have a beer with friends.

When preparing a business plan for a bar, be sure to include a review section, or resume, in it. Indicate in it which bar you are opening and for which audience it will be designed, as well as the legal form of your business. Most often, for such institutions it is a limited liability company or individual entrepreneurship.

Describe the services that the bar will provide to its visitors, indicate the presence or absence of a service system (waiters), the opening hours of the establishment. Your business plan for opening a bar must necessarily include an analysis of this market segment. Describe the situation, the presence of competitors, the problems that arise during the conduct of this business. This will avoid similar problems in the future. Indicate your competitive advantages in comparison with institutions of other owners.

Then make a production plan. This will be the most significant part of your business plan. Choose a room for the future institution. The area of ​​the bar is quite simple to calculate based on the estimated number of visitors. For example, for a bar with a capacity of 60-70 people, a room with a total area of ​​at least 250 square meters. It is better if it is located in a non-residential building. Otherwise, you are unlikely to be able to avoid problems and conflicts with residents.

After deciding on a lease, prepare a bar design project. This work is best entrusted to a specialist. Then include in the business plan items relating to the purchase of necessary furniture and equipment. The standard set for any bar includes a bar, chairs, tables, kitchen equipment, a plasma panel, dishes. Another important point is the development of the menu. It should consist of a large type of snacks (at least 25-30), beer and other alcoholic beverages.

The next section of the business plan is the financial plan. Include in it all the costs of opening a bar (rent, purchase of equipment, advertising costs, staff salaries), maintenance costs, as well as the estimated income from one visitor and the total turnover of funds. Please note that you will not receive instant profit. The payback period of institutions of this kind is 1-1.5 years.
