I’m looking to keep the menu very simple. Burritos, tacos, and quesadillas and salad. Grilled steak, carnitas, grilled chicken. Black beans, pintos, brown rice, white rice. Everything made daily, no canned products, and a few types of salsa. My location is adjacent to 16 auto dealerships, and borders a large residential area as well as other small office business. I need to keep it simple and fast because lunch will be the main source of revenue. There are no other food joints in a 2 mile radius, plus the owner of the building plans to add a Starbuck’s two doors down from my suite. You can’t go wrong buddying up with Starbuck’s. I’m figuring $100,000 should get me going considering the owner will build to suit and I’ll add the equipment, inventory, insurance, and all the other goodies which go into starting up. Anybody know if $100,000 is a realistic start up capital? Keep in mind, this will be a very small joint. 25′ wide by 45′ deep.
