Considering a ramen restaurant in Concord, NC? The local research brings the site, investment and market references together: • Planning footprint: 2,500 sq ft. • Investment: $800,000 (planning target). • Recorded local references: Hokkaido Japanese Restaurant, Cho Asian Cuisine & SUSHI HOUSE, Chopbox. Revenue reference: JINYA U.S., 2024 mature U.S. franchised restaurant sample. This is a disclosed brand sample used for a planning comparison, not local branch sales. The report assumes a 25% operating margin with operating costs already included. • 90% revenue case: revenue $208,867/month, operating profit $52,217/month; 15.3-month modelled payback. • 100% revenue case: revenue $232,074/month, operating profit $58,019/month; 13.8-month modelled payback. • 110% revenue case: revenue $255,281/month, operating profit $63,820/month; 12.5-month modelled payback. Scenarios are planning estimates, not observed earnings. Financing, income taxes and the opening ramp-up are outside simplified recovery calculations. Check kitchen extraction, seating turnover and the food-and-drink basket before using a mature chain as a revenue reference. What would you check first: the site, the local market or the operating plan?
