Convenience Store Soda Fountain Business Plan

The Coffee Break will operate under the owner, Bree Sallee. At start-up there will be 4 other employees, this will be increased as the market shows demand for more assistance.

6.1 Organizational Structure

Owner, Bree Sallee, will be sole manager while The Coffee Break gets established. Due to the fluctuation in operational factors, most work will be carried on by students who desire flexible hours. All employees will answer directly to Bree Sallee.

By having smaller shifts, this will also save in the compensation needed for employees, such as insurance.

6.2 Management Team

Bree Sallee, is owner/manager. With many years of experience in the retail and food channels, she understands the fluctuation in market demands. Also, she has resided in Bend for the past 15 years, cultivating an understanding for the local market. She has a Bachelor’s degree from Boise State University.

The need for additional managers will be evaluated based on our personnel need and budget.

6.3 Personnel Plan

The Coffee Break will start with 4 employees, along with owner. From there, we will be able to determine the need for additional help. As the recreational season fluctuates along with the school term, we will gather employees accordingly.
