Greetings all,
I'm in the planning stages for opening a new brew-on-premise shop in the midwest US. The concept is similar to the Canadian-style BOP, but using partial-mash techniques, quality ingredients, staffed by reasonably knowledgeable homebrewers, all performed with care and excellent hygeine. We'd like to emphasize craft beers, offer lager options and welcome recipe modifications. We'll only grudgingly allow Bud/Miller/Coors clones.
The initial plan is limited to BOP operations. Later stages may include small scale local distribution, then brewpup and restaurant expansion.
I need help in developing financials for this plan. It's proving difficult to find startup costs for equipment, and even harder finding detailed info on production costs, ingredient costs, etc. I need some clues to determine how many units at what price point are required to break even.
Anyone here been involved with the business side of a BOP? Would anyone have a business plan for a similar shop they'd be willing to share?
Thanks in advance for any info y'all can offer.
