Customer & demand
Trade-area demographics, daytime and evening population, and customer demand drivers establish the potential audience.
RESTAURANT · FEASIBILITY RESEARCH
Restaurant Feasibility Study
Assess new restaurant concepts, expansions or acquisitions through trade-area demand, competitive positioning, site access and operating economics. FDS links customer volume and average check assumptions to financial feasibility.
THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER
Test the concept before you commit to the location.
Before committing to a site or an operating plan, test the assumptions that will drive the project’s performance.
- Does the trade area fit the concept and target customer?
- How do daytime and evening demand differ?
- Can the location support access, parking and the operating model?
- What customer volume and average check support breakeven?
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE OPPORTUNITY
What the study examines.
Industry-specific research connects site conditions and market evidence to the financial picture.
Site & access
Traffic, visibility, access, parking and labor availability affect how the restaurant can operate.
Competitive position
The restaurant category, nearby concepts and competitive offerings help test the proposed positioning.
Operating model
Food and beverage mix, customer visits, delivery, catering and cost of goods inform the revenue and cost structure.
Financial feasibility
Average check, volume, staffing and operating costs support EBITDA, breakeven, debt-service coverage and sensitivity analysis.
