Business plan for a grocery store

2. Description of business, product or service

In this business plan, we are considering a small grocery store with an area of ​​20-25 m2 in a sleeping area in places with high traffic. It can be in a detached building or on the first floor of a multi-storey building.

The product sphere is very competitive. As a rule, on weekends people are bought in hypermarkets. However, due to the fact that people often need to buy certain products after work, and there is simply no time to go to supermarkets, the demand for «at home» stores remains high.

Before opening a store, you need to carefully consider the range, price policy, make a forecast for future sales of specific groups of goods. In other words, it is necessary to calculate in advance what will be in great demand among buyers. There is no universal algorithm for creating an assortment – almost all entrepreneurs are looking for «their goods» through trial and error, conducting a thorough analysis of incoming demand and sales.

Here we give the most standard product range.

  • Meat and sausage products;
  • Vegetables and fruits;
  • Dairy;
  • Grocery;
  • Confectionery;
  • Soft drinks;
  • Low-alcoholic products.

Also, to maximize profits, you must add household goods (matches, soap, household chemicals, etc.) and pet food.
Opening hours of the grocery store: 9:00 – 22:00 daily.

3. Description of the market

In the shop near the house customers come after work to buy the necessary products for dinner. In such outlets are also sent and children, young mothers, pensioners.
Analyzing the indicators of monetary incomes per capita in recent years, we can note a positive trend: since 2009 the average per capita monetary incomes of Russians have almost doubled. (Information received from the official website of the Federal Service of State Statistics of the Russian Federation)

Monetary incomes and expenditures on average per capita in Russia in 2009-2016, rubles.

As consumer income grows, consumer spending grows. Consequently, the cost of food is also increasing. Consumers already prefer to take better products.

4. Sales and marketing

Any activity is impossible without conducting a competent marketing policy. To advertise a grocery store, there are nuances and channels of promotion.
First of all, you need to install a bright sign above the entrance, which from afar will attract attention.

The most common methods of business promotion:

  • Festive opening . To increase the clientele this day, you can arrange a holiday: decorate the entrance with balls, conduct interesting events, for example, give gifts for making purchases or arrange a competition, according to which customers can win small household appliances.
  • Loyalty system. Periodically, it is recommended to hold promotions, think through a system of discounts and give out to regular customers discount cards.
  • Printing and distribution of promotional leaflets. When developing a layout, it is important to specify the location, working hours, information about promotions and prize drawings. You can distribute leaflets in the nearby streets, and also spread out in the mailboxes of houses.
  • «Sarafanne radio . » Free and very effective way of advertising. When your establishment is recommended to friends – this is the main indicator of your good work.

5. Production plan

Denote the main stages of launching a grocery store.

1. Registration in state bodies

  • We recommend to register in the form of IP.
  • Optimal for business registration will be the code for OKVED – 47.2 – «Retail trade services for food products, tobacco products in specialized stores.»
  • After receiving the certificate of registration, you must draw up a lease agreement for the premises. It is necessary to obtain permits from firefighters, for this purpose the premises must correspond to all the prescribed standards: to be not lower than the ground floor, to have a spare exit, a fire extinguisher. That the sanitary-epidemiological station has given the go-ahead for the work of the grocery store, it is necessary to prepare:
  1. contract for sanitary treatment of premises;
  2. contract for garbage disposal;
  3. a contract for the utilization of food waste;
  4. sanitary records for all employees.
  • The store must have a corner of the consumer with copies of licenses for the sale of alcohol and tobacco products, quality certificates and compliance with SES standards, a certificate of registration of a legal entity, a book of feedback and suggestions.
  • UTII is planned to be used as a taxation system. We believe that this is the most favorable taxation regime for a store, when the tax rate does not depend on the income of the business.

2. Room search and repair

Potentially profitable is a building located not farther than 100-150 meters from four high-rise buildings (in which about 1500 people live).
The following requirements are imposed on the room:

  • The premise can be both in the property, and leased;
  • Area of ​​the room – from 20 m2 to 25 m2;
  • The presence of sewerage, water supply, utilities, powerful electrical networks for refrigeration equipment that meet the technical requirements of the equipment;

Accessibility of access roads to the building.

3. Finding suppliers

Particular attention should be paid to finding suppliers. The optimal option is to deliver products from large wholesale bases on a cyclic schedule, it can be done on its own. A promising option is the purchase of agricultural goods directly from farms. Such a solution will save on the services of intermediaries and provide buyers with fresh and quality products.

6. Organizational structure

As a rule, when you open a single point, the owner of the grocery store becomes the manager and does not accrue salary to minimize taxes.
Main staff:
– 2 vendors working in shifts 2/2;
– The cleaner.

Basic requirements for sellers:

  • activity;
  • high communicative skills;
  • benevolence;
  • honesty;
  • discipline;
  • a responsibility.

Sellers are required to have medical books.

Each seller has an overhead part of the salary – 12,000 rubles. and the premium part, which is calculated as follows:
Premium part s / n = 8000rub. * (Fact / Plan), where Fact is actually a completed sales plan and the Plan is planned. The first 4 months the plan is gradually increasing from 400,000 rubles. up to 800 000 rubles. Starting from the 5-month plan – 880 000 rubles. This system encourages conscientious fulfillment by sellers of their duties and reduces the risk of theft from employees.
The cleaner has a fixed salary of 10,000 rubles.

8. Risk factors

The opening of a small store immediately encounters a serious, multi-leveled competition, which consists of:

  • trading networks – hypermarkets;
  • Supermarkets located in busy places;
  • grocery stores – sell everything a consumer needs, most often located in the central streets of sleeping areas;
  • convenience stores, small shops located in yards;
  • markets, including spontaneous.

Apparently, absolutely all niches are busy. To make sure of this, you do not need to conduct special studies, it is enough while you walk around the city to pay attention to the location of points selling products. Often there are absurd from the point of view of business situations, when one store is near another, just a couple of steps away. Therefore, the most important thing in this matter is to choose the right location.

You also need to know the specifics of working with products, because many of them quickly deteriorate and you need to quickly implement them, so as not to go into negative. In addition, it is necessary to purchase only running goods, and sell stale products at a reduced price to partially compensate for losses.
