Week One:

Class, normally when preparing a business plan, the business owner will complete the executive summary last. However, for the purpose of this course, you shall complete the first paragraph of the executive summary in week one. See below for an example of what others have done, but don’t copy this, just use it as a reference point.

Example:

Papa Geo’s Restaurant is a single-location, sit-down Italian restaurant located in Orlando, Florida. Our objective is to generate profits starting year two, while maximizing profits years three through five. Papa Geo’s targets middle to lower-middle class families with children, adults and seniors. Our Italian food will be served in buffet style with salad bar, pizza, and several different types of pasta. Our specialty pizza will come with three types of optional sauces and to accompany your main meal we will also offer soup, salad, a self-serve soda bar and desserts. We also have a 500 square foot gaming area with gaming machines for people of all ages to enjoy. On average a customer can purchase a good, home cooked Italian meal at a low price of $7, including drinks. We will be operating from 10:00 am through 9:00 pm 7 days a week, 365 days per year.
