By seeking out a sample business plan for a cafe business, you can learn a lot about how other cafe entrepreneurs have succeeded in the past. Find a sample plan from a cafe that successfully raised funds, launched, and still flourishes to be sure you will not be lead astray.
The Writing
If you find a successful sample plan as mentioned, you will see concise, clear writing in the narrative of the plan. This will show the efforts of careful editing and proofreading. You will likely notice that the level of detail is not high as might have guessed. To work, a plan doesn't have to explain every step of the operations process or marketing process, for example, but simply has to show that choices have been made at a strategic level which are in line with the customers chosen, the market opportunity, and the financials as given.
Selection of Competitors
In the Competitive Analysis section of the plan, you will get an idea of how this cafe chose their competitors. You will find that they did not list dozens of cafes in the surrounding towns. This would have meant not going into much depth for any key competitors and would have shown readers a lack of focus on the immediate, direct competitors who customers would choose between. You will see at least a few competitors detailed, because trying to explain that there are no "real" competitors for what a cafe is selling is silly. Even the cafe is grinding coffee beans which have never been brought to that town before, residents and workers in the town are going somewhere for non-meal food and beverages. That business, whatever it is, is the competitor.
Financial Explanations
If you are shown a complete plan, you will not see financial statements included without a narrative description of what they mean and how they were created. Revenue assumptions are explained so that readers can judge their strength themselves. If there are aberrations in the financial numbers which draw attention, such as revenue or profit dropping in a certain year, or cost rising significantly, you will certainly see narrative describing what this means. If the writer doesn't explain odd occurrences like this, readers would bring that question up to him directly and question his judgment in leaving out the answer from the plan.

Together at the Bluebird Cafe $10.95 On September 13, 1995, this like-minded triumvirate of country-folk singer-songwriters joined forces for a good old-fashioned song swap. The music's warmth and relaxed vibe make it sound like it was recorded on someone's back porch in Texas as opposed to Nashville's Bluebird Café. Pulled together for an Interfaith Dental Clinic benefit by Guy Clark's wife Susanna, the three old friends sing songs... |

Smokey Joe's Cafe: The Songs Of Leiber And Stoller (1995 Original Broadway Cast) $10.70 As good as Pomus and Gordy were, they can't compare with the premier rock & roll songwriters of the pre-Beatles era: Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Chuck Berry, and Percy Mayfield. The team of Leiber (the lyricist) and Stoller (the composer) created such enduring standards as "Kansas City," "Hound Dog," "Stand By Me," "Spanish Harlem," "Jailhouse Rock," and many more. Those songs and 33 more were ass... |
