Joey_Jeremiah, the traffic in the area is increasing, specially once Serendra gets built. The questions are:

 

1.) Where are you going to situate your bar/resto?

2.) What is your concept/gimmick to attract customers?

3.) What is your ideal RoI and profit margin?

 

Not to discourage you, but without a really good concept or gimmick, the chances for a long-lasting bar/resto isn't that good. Of course, I could be wrong.

Thanks for the responses!

 

1. greenbelt comes to mind, where there is a high amount of traffic. somewhere located near other high-end bar/restos. this is in-line with focusing on our target market.

2. still under development

3. have not worked on the financials yet, b/c i'm still trying to gather more information on the industry there. trying to understand what works over there, what hasn't, trends and patterns over the years, and of course, the financial history of what others are earning (at least an idea). ideally, i'd like to make my money back within 3 years to turn it over into another one and continue to grow every 3-5 years.

 

Php10M is a number that i've heard before when starting one up. would this be just to start it up? is this just the downpayment for a loan? what investments/expenses are associated with the 10m?

Greenbelt has reached pretty much near saturation point.

The good news is that there is an existing market.

The bad news is that you'll have to compete with other resto/bars.

 

RoI in 3 years? Can be done, though Php10M is pretty small considering:

1.) Rental (of place), Ayala likes to charge fairly high.

2.) Renovation (including sound system, lighting, etc.)

3.) Staff salaries & training. Yes its easy to get idiot waiters here in the Philippines, but to get effective ones takes a LOT of effort.

4.) Launching Party - To be effective, you've got to get a good marketing crew. I was in the club biz for about 10 years. All I had to show for it was ulcers.

 

Hope this helps.

if P10M is not a lot, what would be a more appropriate amount? how much would be allocated to rent, staff, renovations, etc?

10M is a lot if it were say in Pasig (not Ortigas Center) or QC (not T. Morato / Timog area). But Ayala is notorious for high rentals and all sorts of strict conditions.

 

Also the size of the place is a good consideration. If it were a pure restaurant, I'd say 1 waiter for every 8 tables you put in initially. Hire extras during peak days. But as a bar (if successful), the ratio goes down to 1 waiter per 5 tables (+ extras during peak days). Add in your receptionist, cashier, bartender/s, cooks, chef, accountant, bookkeeper, storekeeper, maintenance, janitors, marketing personnel, etc. etc.

 

Of course it would be so much easier if you had a concept/gimmick in mind already.
