Reserve period — How to read this: The funding target adds one-time preparation, furnishings, deposits, and preopening payroll; a contingency allowance on those upfront costs; and a reserve equal to monthly operating expenses times reserve months. It estimates cash needs before opening and doesn't net out future revenue or financing.
Example: With $55,000 in property preparation, $26,000 in furnishings and deposits, $14,000 preopening payroll, a 10% contingency on the $95,000 upfront subtotal, and a three-month reserve at $42,000 per month, estimated startup funding is $95,000 + $9,500 + $126,000 = $230,500. Replace the sample inputs with actual quotes and budget assumptions.
What to verify next The numbers above are planning estimates built from the amounts you entered. These are checks for you to complete with local quotes, documents, and qualified professionals — they are not advice, verified quotes, or confirmed terms.
Collect written bids for build-out, equipment, and startup work instead of relying on single estimates. Confirm licensing, safety, and facility requirements with your state or local licensing agency early. Verify deposit and funding-timing requirements with lenders or landlords in writing. Set the reserve after checking realistic licensing and construction timelines, which often run longer than planned. Your next step Every opening day runs on the team behind it.
