This financial model is meticulously designed to analyze and forecast the financial performance of a full-service bar (also known as taverns, lounges, and pubs), capturing key revenue and cost drivers specific to the hospitality industry. It focuses exclusively on food and beverage (F&B) operations, with revenue streams segmented into Cocktails & Mixed Drinks, Beer & Cider, Wine & Champagne, Spirits & Hard Liquor, and Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages.
The model delivers a 5-year forecast horizon (60 months) starting from the first forecast month defined in the assumptions tab and includes placeholders for up to 36 months of historical financial data. Designed specifically for full-service bars, taverns, lounges, and pubs, the model incorporates seasonality effects, covers per hour for weekdays and weekends, and operational metrics such as Table Turnover Ratio and Average Order Value per Cover.
This financial model serves as an essential resource for internal planning, pricing strategies, investor presentations, and financing applications tailored to full-service bar businesses.
