Many pizzeria operators put an amazing amount of thought and work into their location, menu and marketing but don't take the time to build out financial projections and plan their profit potential. Being profitable is a deliberate action that must be prepared well before you open the doors. Veteran pizza operator and consultant Michael Shepherd will show you in Part II how easy it is to build a comprehensive set of financial projections to share with potential investors and banks — and use to tell you how much money your concept can potentially make. Attendees also will be given take-home tools for properly engineering and costing out menus, building staff schedules and projecting labor costs.
