Schematic concept and Design development project drawings

Working with owners on their project startup, FSSM project manager consulting will assist in the comprehensive development of their business plan.

This play by play plan takes the owner’s vision and documents its essential components required to build a sustaining business.

Some 3rd party costs may be incurred to complete your project startup business plan but contracting services and executing contracts should be avoided until the business plan is substantially completed.

The business plan is a multi-faceted document used inside of the organization and outside of the organization when seeking project commercial or private financing, or business partners.

FSSM's following business plan content examples are not intended to be all inclusive rather an outline of traditional information documented in the business plan.

• Concept Description Detail Summary & Supporting Drawings as Needed
• Market Analysis and Differentiation
• Product Offerings and Differentiation
• Key Management and Expertise
• Staffing Requirements and Strategies
• Capital Sourcing, Budgeting & Use of Proceeds
• Operating Projections & Cash Flows
• Balance Sheet
• and more

Concept and design development schematic drawings may be completed in different phases of the project startup. 

The concept design drawings differ from design development drawings primarily in the drawing's detail and intended purpose. 

The concept design drawings provide an effective tool for laying out what if scenarios. They are a business plan supporting document and efficient jump start for the architect. 

Once the owner has approved moving to the design development phase, the owner may hire an architect. In some case this sequence may be reversed, where the architect is on board first and then hires the foodservice design group. 

The foodservice and architect's design development drawings are produced in far greater detail. The design development drawings become the official drawings used for code compliance review, permitting and approval, formal project bidding, construction documents, and project specifications.

FSSM's project manager consulting will complete its foodservice design development plan set with a fixture plan, equipment schedules, MEP call outs, elevation drawings, special conditions, and construction documents to be updated with the architect set drawings.

FSSM can provide ownership with both foodservice concept and design development drawings.

 The interior architect will bring the visual aesthetics to life completing interior design elements, ceiling, floor finishes, FF&E and general color palate for the project.

FSSM's project manager consulting  pre-opening checklist is an internal  detailed document used to track project startup tasks, assignments, and schedules of employees and 3rd party service providers.

 Many tasks are performed simultaneously while others rely on the completion of foundational tasks before they begin.

Until the project startup key management personnel are hired management of the pre-opening checklist is typically directed by the owner or the owner's representative.

Strong management of the project startup pre-opening checklist is the key to a project being completed on time and budget. 

The pre-opening checklist is comprehensive of the project not just construction and build elements. Overseeing the pre-opening checklist should be an individual qualified to oversee and communicate with both the trades on the project as well as the restaurant operating team.

The following are samplings of broad-based sections identified on the pre-opening checklist; a comprehensive list may be provided by contacting FSSM: 

• Concept and design development
• Construction Schedule 
• Licenses, Permitting, Insurance & Banking
• Company Handbook
• Recruiting & Hiring
