pizza shop

[NINEBREAKER]

i have been contemplateing owning a motorcycle shop/ pizza parlor/motorcycle customs, mororcycle sales place for the past year and i was wondering how to get it started and what all is needed.

what i want is a large area for the shop. and all its other goods plus an area in the back for new riders to take an msf class so they dont get stupid and make total squids of themselves and fuck themselves up.

i was planning on having some companys help sponsor the whole thing like in the next town over from mine there a gas station that also has a taco bell on the inside. so maybe pizza hut might help out and i could have all the pizzas delivered from motorcycle just for added fun.

as for the motorcycle sales i was planning on ether having a whole lot of companys let me sell their goods or go to craigs list and look at all the wonderful goodies ther. there are alot of good bikes on craigs list and alot of great deals too. i have found some really nice bikes on craigs list.

i was planning on ether starting this biziness in california or in florida.

so what should i look into now for my future planning

Because its U.S cant give you any tips on regulations etc but I will tell you this... whatever estamate you make about your capital investment (Venture capital) put another few thousand dollars (or more) on top of that.
Dont forget insurance for the workers, property and contents.
Not forgeting to that you should be prepared for the first 6 months to a year to be the most difficult and have little return.
If its starts to look good after the first 6 months to a year you should think about expanding with an enterprise equity venture capital investment to bring your product or service nation wide or to another state.

In this economy most small businesses starting up now are doomed; with a few exceptions. Eating out is one thing the Bleating Sheep will try and remove from his life.

Motorcycle shops definitely wont do well until the economy picks up. Society still considers them a luxury item. Also, bikes are expensive and you'll need at least 20 before starting this shop. Assuming that half are in the 5000$ range, 1/4 are in the $10,000 range and the last 1/4 are in the $15,000 range. You'll need $155,000 in stock to retail. Factoring in dealer discounts, you still wont be able to put 100,000 unless you have a sponsorship or sellout to be a franchise.

Motorcycle repair and customization shops are easier. The on-hand parts you need are pretty inexpensive. Apart from that you have to line up deals with distributors and wholesalers so that when a customer wants something, you call them, they give it to you for 30% less than retail. You sell it to the customer with the 30% markup. This allows you to have very little on-hand merchandise and still be able to get it within 2-3 days if the customer wants it.

Pizza shows are better for stock and all. You just need to find suppliers of all your foods. Then arrange for a schedule of shipments. that way, every day you get everything you need and allow for a surplus on one day to account for unexpected rushes. Food in bulk is inexpensive where pizza is expensive compared to the ingredients. If you have a good location, somewhere where people will stop for lunch, and a 2$/slice or 5$ for 2 slices and a drink. People will swarm to your little shop.

great ideas. i was planning to sell used bikes at first. along with a repair and customization shop.

the pizza shop will get built into the side or something. its a work in progress. so far my funds at $6000$ soon to be $2500 after i get this bike i been eyeing for a long time. i have a long time to plan this out. i wont be doing much other than planning til i get my motorcycles technichian degree or whatever and then i begin in starting my shop.

i just want a place thats cool. something people will like. i been thinking of how i want the shop to look like. and where i'm gonna put it too.

i'll hollar back when i have ideas

Good luck on getting the Health Department to sign off on preparing food in the vicinity of the hazardous chemicals used in doing whatever is you will do with the bikes.

Yeah, one suggestion is, get a dough press for around ~$400 and do dough balls instead of pre-made crusts..

#1 it will taste better, #2 the premade crusts are ~$1.44 apiece, the dough balls are $.47 apiece from roma...
If you need any help with the food side, let me know, I used to manage a pizza pub.

And numb, the health inspector will sign off as long as they are in separate rooms, and the chemicals are stored in a chemical cabinet

Are you bent?

the pizza shop portian will be seperate from the shopits not like the part of the shop where the customs and repairs will be directly attached to the pizza shop in a way where you can get crud in it. theres going to be some sort of separation but they will be close enough so its not a pain in the ass to get to

So people could grab a bite whilst they wait for their bike to be repaired?

That's a good idea, although you'd want both businesses to be separate from one another in their own right.

that was the plan. but they will still answer to me. i thought of a good way to hav an out door pizza shop. i found that a new pizza trailer(the kind that you have at fairs and carnivals) cost roughly 20 grand. sometimes around 15 g's. the most expensive i have found cost 30 grand but that one is really long and i think it had a living space in it.

well it might make for a pizza parlor setup and i could wheel it our to advertise at moto shows.
