(37) Operational status. Closed in December 2010 and reported as an interim decision but re-opening is uncertain.
(38) Recent operating history. Due to family health issues, the restaurant was operating on a limited basis. Typically it was open Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday through lunch.
(39) Immediate opportunities. Based on a preliminary analysis, we identified 5 immediate potential opportunities to grow revenues and increase profitability and cash flow:
(a) Open for breakfast through dinner 7-days per week. Breakfast is compatible with the Medical Center initiative below. We believe maximizing the use of a fixed cost asset is one of the easiest ways to increase profitability and cash flow.
(b) Extend evening hours on Friday & Saturday nights. Weekend venues are limited in the market and typically generates a higher sale per ticket than breakfast or lunch.
(c) Open on weekdays and Sunday evenings for Sports. There is no local Sports Bar venue to compete in this high profit margin segment.
(d) Establish an easy order and delivery system to serve the medical community located in and around the Medical Center. We believe this is a great opportunity to build a local, repeat, high income clientele. We suggest a telephone order and delivery capability.
(e) Emphasize beer and wine sales. Our preliminary review of the financials indicated a lower than expected as beverages are typically highest profit margins incorporating Happy Hours and other drink specials.
(f) Develop catering business. The owners experienced a high demand for catering but they did not take advantage of the opportunity as their limited staffing required shutting down the restaurant to perform catering.
(40) Disclosure of available financials and documentation. Upon execution of a confidentiality agreement, we will provide you with all financials, tax rolls and other information provided by the owner.
