take-out, and delivery. The decor and theme are centered around the cutting edge open kitchen
with brick arches and distinctive lighting. Our energy and atmosphere will appeal to families,
groups, and schools.
The real power and energy of the pizzeria will come from the attentive and courteous service

team, and carefully orchestrated to provide the best service to our customers who are our
priority. We will have at least one manager on duty at all times.

Take out available during store hours. Delivery hours are 4 pm to closing everyday we are
open. We will offer delivery all day on Saturday and Sunday and some holidays.
4.0 Market Analysis Summary
Ohno is one of the fastest growing cities in America with Nevada being voted the best small
business state in the country. Ohno is a community diverse in the arts and culture. We have a
strong labor market, low taxes, affordable housing, and natural amenities making Ohno an
attractive place to live and do business.
The greater Ohno metropolitan area population has grown one third through the last decade
and is projected to grow 11.4% in the next five years.
The median age is 36 years old with household incomes averaging $65,895. With a strong local
economy we have a population with disposable cash for dining and entertainment.
According to the Nevada Restaurant Association, Nevada restaurants are expected to lead
the nation in sales growth at 7.6%. Nevada is also the fastest growing state in the union.
4.1 Market Segmentation
4 Moons target market is a three mile radius of site location. Within the three mile operating
radius is a population of 121,705. The total number of households in this area is 48,839 with an
average income of $58,197.
This area is densely populated, and a desirable part of town in which to live. It is an underserved portion of town, especially to the west up to the Caughlin Ranch area. It is on one of
the most traveled corridors in Ohno, Blue Plum Lane. Located near two of Ohno's most popular
malls, Parklane and Shopper's Square.
Our target market includes adults 20 to 54 years old who socialize and have families. Children
are a big part of our market, at a third of the population is this area. Ages 4 to 19 prefer pizza
over any fast food and often influence family dining decisions. According to one study, 93% of
the U.S. population eats pizza. If we sold one pizza per month with an average of $17.00 per
household, we would generate $721,141 in one month. This illustrates that with effective
marketing, superior product, and proper management we will reach and exceed our projected
sales goals.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

We haven't ruled any one group or class out in our target market area. Just about everyone
eats pizza. Most residents in this area have busy schedules, and find value in exceptional and
timely service, as well as mouth watering, delightful food. We believe most everyone will
appreciate our value based menu and family atmosphere. We have a strong commitment to
community involvement including sponsorship for school/group teams.
We strongly believe we will overcome any competition in our area. The local competition
includes Sticky Paws Pizza, Damynos, Gridlow's Pizza, Hoopla Take-and-Bake, Clodhopper's,
and Little Sayzar. Most of these are at least two miles from our location and are no competition
to our concepts, ideals, fresh products, and welcoming service.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

Pizza Statistics:

Represent 17% of all restaurants.

Americans eat approximately 100 acres of pizza a day.
Pizza is a $32+ billion per year industry with continuing overall restaurant growth.
Accounts for 10% of all food service sales.
93% of Americans eat pizza at least once a month.
67% of Americans order pizza for a casual evening with friends.
Children between 3-11 prefer pizza over all other food groups.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

4 Moons Pizzerias are competitive in the mid price point, fast casual dining market. With an
average ticket of $17.00, we are priced above Hoopla Take-and-Bake and Damyno but below
Squaretable.
Quality, Quick, and Simple is the goal of 4 Moons Pizzerias. The customers are provided with
the highest quality product. Store design provides a warm and friendly environment for all.
5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary
Emphasize service
We will differentiate ourselves with SERVICE! We will establish our business offering as a clear
and viable alternative for our target market.
Build a relationship-oriented business
Build long-term relationships with customers, not single-visit deals. Become their restaurant
and destination of choice. Make them understand the value of the relationship.
Focus on target markets
We need to focus our offerings on specific population groups as the key market segment we
should own. We do not want to compete for the buyers who go to "fast food" or "take and
bake" types of restaurants. We definitely want to be able to sell to smart, quality conscious
customers.
Utilize the various skills of our Managing Owners and learn through the extensive training
program provided by Franchisor.
5.1 Competitive Edge
Clearly our competitive edge will be our customer service experience and management
approach. Our smiling, unassuming, and good natured approach to all of our customers will be
evident, and highly appreciated.
We will constantly monitor our product to ensure quality food and beverage at all times. Our
recipes are delicious, made fresh daily, and our toppings go all the way to the edge of the pizza
crust.

Page 7

4 Moons Pizzeria

5.2 Marketing Strategy

We will start our marketing during the construction phase. Our main factor in success is simply
that a person can enjoy a good pizza, fast service, and friendly familiar faces.
We will all be involved in Sales and Marketing. We will gather information about the
neighborhoods, use our POS System to track top sellers and gather a customer base for
marketing offers.

Kids school tours

Gift Certificate Program
Phone book advertisement
Coupons
Door hangers
Sporting events for schools and group events
Eye catching signage
Excellent service and high quality food
Word of mouth

5.3 Sales Strategy

The marketing strategy discussed previously in this business plan will generate the desired
sales.
We require our staff to have a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the menus,
ingredients and methods of preparation of all of our foods. We train our staff to always describe
and recommend items, even to regular customers, and to always up-sell. The key to our
employee's success in up-selling is the realization that it almost always brings in better tips
because the checks are higher.
We will emphasize service to differentiate ourselves. We will establish our business offerings as
a clear and viable alternative for our target market, from the scores of "slow delivery", "frozen
dough", and "your average" pizza chains.
We will build long-term relationships with our customers, becoming their destination of choice
for delivery, take out, and dine in. We will sell ourselves as the best neighborhood and
community pizzeria.
5.3.1 Sales Forecast
We are forecasting sales of approximately $677,000 in our first fiscal year (May 2005 to April
2006) with an opening date of mid-May 2005. We foresee sales increasing at .5% monthly, an
overall yearly rate of 6% per year. Our forecast is conservative and is based on an average of
$17.00 average per order.
We are convinced that our business will increase with time. We have a strong management
team who will be on property daily to monitor daily operations. We will constantly watch food
quality, customer service, and costs.

prescribed by the Franchisor.
4 Moons has $160,000 initial investment, $25,000 of which will cover the franchise fee.

7.2 Important Assumptions

We are projecting profit based on the performance of other franchises and our own
judgement based on the following:

We assume by using marketing strategies, sales strategies, good customer relationships,

fresh food, and good management practices, we will succeed.
In order to meet the sales goal in the first year, open for at least 360 days, we would have
to sell 111 checks each day with a $17 per check average.
Our sales each day should reach an minimum average of $1,881.43.
Our forecast is based on an average. Some months will increase and others decrease. We
do not predict any major decreases in sales, as Ohno area restaurants are busy all year
round.

sales, equipment rental and repair, utilities projected at 11% of gross sales, administrative

7.5 Projected Cash Flow

The cash flow depends on assumptions for good daily operational management, good traffic
counts in the restaurant, inventory turnover, payment days, and accounts receivable
management. We do not predict any new financing until we open our second franchise.
Principal amounts are based on a loan of $345,000 with a 10 year SBA Loan at 7% interest.
