Fast Food Business Plan Home

A fast food business plan is a plan to start and/or grow your fast food restaurant business. Among other things, it outlines your business concept, identifies your target customers, presents your marketing plan and details your financial projections.

There are many types of fast food businesses. The most common fast food establishments serve hamburgers, fries, and soft drinks. Other common fast food establishments serve chicken, Chinese food, Mexican food, and pizza. There is a recent trend in fast food restaurants serving healthier options such as smoothies, wraps, sandwiches, and salads. Fast food restaurants can be centered around any food genre that is able to be prepared fast and in large quantities to serve multiple customers daily.

The primary source of revenue for a fast food restaurant are the food and drink items sold at the establishment.

The key expenses for a fast food restaurant are the costs to source the ingredients for the menu items, kitchen equipment and supplies, overhead expenses for the staff and rent, and any marketing costs the restaurant chooses to partake in.

Fast food businesses are most likely to receive funding from banks. Typically you will find a local bank and present your business plan to them. Another option for a fast food business is to obtain a small business loan. SBA loans are a popular option as they offer longer loan terms with lower interest rates. Outside investors, crowdfunding, and/or friends or family are other typical funding options.
