Did you guys account for the 11 stools? I came up with $1155.81 per day. I am in the Northeast so that is the standard here.

upon further review, taking into consideration the stools are covered in fabric , as opposed to plain wood, bar sales might be a bit higher since the stools
are more comfortable. Add 13.49 to the daily average.

You have to give us some more info Big Joe. Where are you opening, what’s the competition, population, free standing building or inline strip mall etc…etc…

I believe what everyone is trying to say, is no one can give you a sales projection based on your square footage. Thinking back to your business education, you realize there are a variety of factors that will impact your sales. Your marketing plan, your pricing, your market and the competition, not to mention what happens within your four walls: service, quality, cleanliness, etc.

Your question implies you have not done a thorough business plan, which only increases your chances of losing money.

Please feel free to ask any specific question on this forum. That is why its here. But your sales projection can only come from the specific plans layed out in your business plan.

Look at it this way…In my 1400 sq feet, 40 seats, I started at $2000 per week. I now do $7000 per week. Which number between 2000 and 7000 do you want me to offer you?

good luck to you.

Napoli hit it on the head. Lots more info is needed before picking a sales number out of the sky. For alcohol sales, it could even include the average number of days with rain between 4pm and 10pm and average temperatures at your location.

Population, median household income, number and types of households, business parks, number/type of other eating places, position in the market (cheap bar and grill versus Applebee’s style versus upscale), number of parking spaces, free standing versus commercial center LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION . . . menu variety and price points, beverage types/variety/price point, projected table turn time/rate, hours of operation, statutory hours of alcohol sales, delivery?, take-out? near a college/university campus? Professional or college sports venues, other entertainment venues, televisions in the dining room? . . . . operating capital in hand to generate marketing events, overall marketing plan and effectiveness . . .are you asking for 1st year, 4th quarter, 4th quarter of 2nd year?

We need to know at least some of the Lots of variables will drive the gross sales other than the bar and “package goods” which I am guessing is retail package liquor? I don’t remember if we have someone doing retail package alcohol sales or not. As a general WAG, I am estimating a 30% increase in sales first year we get beer/wine pouring license. That is for our business in our 2500 person town.

the more information you can give us to understand your business and the marketplace you operate in, the less blind we will be in offering suggestions. Right now, we can only throw at the “Flaming Dart Board of Random Answers” to be of any use. And even with information, do remember that we’re pizza guys and not Harvard Economists 😃 Wisened by experiences, but have flour under our fingernails.
