Sales Forecast
It’s assumed that Four Bella’s Spaghetti House will be open up restaurant that offers
lunch, snack and dinner, with a focus on the business professional dinner crowd. In order to
develop sales projections the following are set of assumptions.
1. Sales Forecast
There are tenAssumptions:
(10) tables with four (4) seats in the restaurant.
Tables 10
Seats per table 4
Meals at Capacity per serving 40
Full Capacity Servings:
Lunches 30
Snacks 40
Dinners 30
Total Servings at full capacity 100
Average Price per servings PHP 350.00

Revenue per day 35,000.00
Revenue per month 1,050,000.00

20
So each month we will project the number of meals sold. At full capacity it would be 100
meals per day x 30 days = 3,000 meals per month, but during the first couple months we will
estimate a 65% capacity as sales ramp up.
