Business Plan

Generated March 23, 2026

1. Business Overview

This plan presents a multi-concept entertainment venue combining a full-service restaurant, bar, arcade, and virtual golf within a single 10,200 square-foot space. The concept is designed to maximize dwell time and per-visit spend by giving guests multiple reasons to stay.

Restaurant & Bar — The food program features pizza, wings, and burgers served from a 1,200 SF commercial kitchen into a 1,700 SF dining room seating 80 guests. The 800 SF bar area serves craft cocktails, beer, and wine to both diners and walk-up guests. Food averages a $22 check with a 30.0% cost of goods; beverages carry a 22.0% pour cost.

Arcade — A 2,700 SF double-height game floor houses 45 machines across two ownership models. Vendor-shared (30 machines): high-value equipment — 16 pinball machines, 8 racing simulators, Killer Queen, DDR, NBA Hoops, and more — is placed and maintained by a third-party vendor under a 50.0% / 50.0% revenue split, eliminating $358,000 in upfront CapEx for the business. Business-owned (15 machines): classic cabinets, skee-ball lanes, and Guitar Hero are purchased outright ($68,000 capital outlay) and generate 100% revenue for the business with no vendor split. Machines occupy 1,634 SF; the remaining 1,066 SF provides aisles and seating.

Virtual Golf — 1 enclosed simulator bay (750 SF, including hitting area and lounge seating, second floor) offers full-swing golf simulation at $55/hour. Equipment is supplied by the vendor under a 50.0% / 50.0% revenue share. At 55.0% utilization across 10 operating hours, business share is roughly $4,588/month.

Party / Lounge Rooms — 2 private event rooms (1,950 SF total) are available for birthday parties, corporate events, and group gatherings throughout the week. Rooms are booked at a flat rate of $600 per event. At 3 bookings per week the rooms generate $7,800/month in rental income with no direct cost of goods. Party guests also drive incremental food, bar, and arcade revenue.

3. Revenue

Revenue assumptions reflect stabilized, mature-venue performance. A ramp schedule is applied to all zones for Years 2–5 to model the soft-launch and word-of-mouth build-up arc: Yr 2: 55%  |  Yr 3: 72%  |  Yr 4: 87%  |  Yr 5: 95%. Full rate reached Year 6; 4.0%/yr growth compounds from there. Payroll and fixed costs are not ramped — they reflect the staffing needed to operate the venue from opening day.

Stabilized Revenue Build-Up by Zone

Revenue is driven by five distinct streams. Food and bar account for the majority of volume. Vendor-shared arcade machines and virtual golf operate under a third-party equipment lease (50.0% business / 50.0% vendor split); business-owned arcade machines retain 100% of revenue. Revenue shown for entertainment zones reflects the business’s share only.

5. Expense Detail

Expenses fall into three categories: Cost of Goods Sold (food and beverage only — all entertainment zones have zero business COGS since the vendor handles all equipment and maintenance), Operating Expenses (payroll at $648,048/yr and other OpEx at $144,000/yr, both growing at 3.0%/yr), and Occupancy Costs (base rent, NNN pass-throughs, and TI loan repayment).

Occupancy Cost & Rent Coverage

The rent coverage ratio measures operating income (before occupancy costs) divided by total occupancy cost. A ratio above 2.0x indicates the business comfortably supports its lease obligations.

6. Equipment Investment

Entertainment equipment uses a split model. Vendor-shared machines (30 arcade machines + golf simulator) are placed and maintained by a third-party vendor under a 50.0% / 50.0% revenue-share lease, eliminating $358,000 in CapEx and transferring maintenance risk to the vendor. Business-owned machines (15 classic cabinets, skee-ball, Guitar Hero) are purchased outright for $68,000 and generate 100% revenue for the business. Year 2 (opening) entertainment revenue (business share): $153,591. Kitchen and bar equipment is covered under the building interior buildout.

7. Initial Capital Investment

The landlord’s $2,059,000 construction budget delivers the building fully built out: MEP systems, commercial kitchen equipment, bar millwork and counters, gaming projection infrastructure, building brand graphic, and site work are all landlord-funded and in place at occupancy. The tenant’s startup capital funds the operational layer on top of that: furniture, bar service equipment, owned games, technology systems, inventory, licenses, and working capital. Capital comes from two sources: equity contributions from three founding investors, and a Tenant Improvement (TI) loan of $200,000 extended by the landlord as part of the lease agreement. Together these provide $500,000 of opening capital against $372,000 in identified startup costs, leaving a $128,000 undeployed buffer.

Capital Sources

All three investors hold equal 33.3% initial ownership. Investor 3 contributes sweat equity ($0 cash); Investors 1 and 2 each contribute $150,000 cash. The TI loan is a landlord-funded debt instrument at 7.0% over 5 years, already reflected as an occupancy cost in the P&L above. Investor 1 is subject to a vesting schedule; see below.

Investor 1 Vesting Schedule

All three investors hold equal 33.3% initial ownership at opening. Investor 1 serves as General Manager and is eligible to acquire additional ownership beginning in Year 3, vesting approximately 2.1% per year (drawn equally from Investors 2 and 3 at 1.0% each per year). By Year 10, Investor 1 reaches 50% total ownership, with Investors 2 and 3 each retaining 25%. This structure rewards long-term operational commitment and aligns Investor 1’s incentives with business performance.

Vesting increment: 2.1%/yr to Investor 1 (sourced equally from Investors 2 & 3). Full vesting reached Year 10: Investor 1 = 50%, Investors 2 & 3 = 25% each.

Startup Cost Uses — Building Shell to Operational Venue

The table below itemizes the tenant’s costs to layer operational equipment, furniture, and opening activities onto the landlord-delivered space. Buildout & Equipment covers furniture, service equipment, and owned games not provided by the landlord. Technology covers operational systems (POS, A/V TVs, PA, security) distinct from the gaming projection infrastructure already built in. Pre-Opening covers inventory, marketing, and licensing. Working Capital ensures the business can operate through the revenue ramp-up period without a cash shortfall. Note: vendor-shared arcade machines and golf simulator are vendor-supplied at no cost to the business; business-owned classic/skee-ball/Guitar Hero machines ($68,000) are included in Buildout & Equipment.

8. Investor Distributions

The table below shows projected annual distributions to each investor based on net income and their vesting-adjusted ownership percentage. Distributions reflect the residual after all operating expenses, occupancy costs, and the TI loan payment — the net income figure from Section 4. Investor 1 receives additional compensation as General Manager ($65,000/yr base salary, already deducted as a payroll expense before net income is computed). The Inv 1 Total column combines both. Negative distribution values in a given year indicate losses absorbed pro-rata by each investor; no cash is distributed in loss years.

GM compensation is Investor 1’s base salary ($65,000/yr), expensed through payroll before net income is calculated — it is not drawn from the distribution pool. Distributions are pro-rata to ownership % each year; vesting schedule per Section 7. Loss years: no cash distributed; losses absorbed per ownership %.
