Restaurant Opening Planner: Checklist & Startup Budget Spreadsheet

Opening a restaurant means hundreds of tasks and a budget that always grows. The Restaurant Opening Planner puts every task and every cost in one place, from signing the lease to opening day.

What's inside

• Opening Checklist: 57 tasks across concept, admin, fit-out, equipment, suppliers, team, systems, marketing and soft launch, each with a due date counted back from your opening date
• Automatic flags: Done, Due soon and Overdue, so nothing slips
• Startup Budget: estimated versus actual cost for every item, with variance
• Overview: progress, overdue tasks, budget by category and your total with a contingency buffer

Good to know

• Works in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice, in any currency
• Fully editable: add, remove or rename any task
• Licences and permits differ by location; the checklist reminds you to confirm what applies to you

Works well with

• Annual Budget & Break-Even Planner
• Restaurant Operations Manual
