Feasibility Study for a Restaurant or Cafe in Egypt
Restaurants and cafes are among the most common businesses people start, and among the most likely to close in their first year. The difference is usually not the food. It is the math on rent, cost per dish, and the number of daily orders you need to cover your expenses.
Where your money goes
- Rent and rent deposit
- Kitchen, dining area and air-conditioning fit-out
- Equipment, coffee machine and refrigerators
- First-month ingredients
- Salaries and social insurance
- Licenses, commercial registration and tax card
- Opening marketing and delivery apps
Where the money comes from
- Dine-in orders
- Takeaway
- Delivery apps, net of their commission
- Events and catering
What makes Restaurant or Cafe businesses lose money
- Rent too high for the foot traffic at the location
- Cost per dish not calculated correctly
- Ingredient waste
- Delivery app commissions eating into the margin
- Dependence on a single chef or barista
What the study answers
- How many orders a day do you need to reach break-even?
- Is your capital enough for the fit-out, and if not, how much is missing?
- The right menu pricing after calculating cost per dish
- The worst-case scenario if sales come in below expectations
To make the numbers accurate, we ask about: Restaurant, cafe, or both?, Expected number of seats, Expected average bill per customer (EGP), Premises.
The numbers are calculated for your project: your city, your capital and the size you plan to start with. Not generic figures copied from the internet.
