Saved Me Hours
Building the grocery model by hand would’ve taken me days. This template got me to a usable first draft in one afternoon, so I could move on to pricing and sourcing instead of spreadsheets.
Building the grocery model by hand would’ve taken me days. This template got me to a usable first draft in one afternoon, so I could move on to pricing and sourcing instead of spreadsheets.
My statements and charts were scattered across different files before. Now the P&L, cash flow, and dashboard sit together, and I had a cleaner set of numbers to share in one meeting.
I used to guess at runway and shortfalls, and that wasn’t working. With this model, I could see the cash gap sooner and plan the next 6 months with a lot more confidence.
The Ethnic Financial Model of the Grocery Shop is a five-year, editable Excel and Google Sheets workbook built around shop movement, conversion, repeat purchases, product mixes and financial reports.
Use the workbook to translate the daily traffic of the store and keep customers on orders, units sold, categories of income, operating costs, and expected financial results.
Editable assumptions flow to monthly forecasts, while the workbook introduces these data in scenarios, reports, charts and management reports throughout the forecast.
Revenue starts with store guests, converts buyers to first orders and repeats orders, expands orders to units, allocates units according to product range and prices of each category.
The traffic in the day of the week and the monthly seasonality determine the visitors to the shop, which multiply by the exchange rate of the visitor to the buyer.
The participation of new buyers becomes recurring customers who remain active for the duration of their declared life.
Monthly orders combine first orders with active repeat customers times the frequency of repeat orders.
Contracts shall be converted into sold units and then the common pool of units shall be allocated by the product category sales portfolio.
The allocated units of categories shall multiply by category prices and shall sum up by category and month.
The income sheet combines the assumptions of the guests day of the week, conversion, recurring customer behavior, order size, mix of categories and category prices to the sales forecast.
REVENUE
The COGS & OPEX worksheet separates the cost of goods, variable costs and fixed operating costs, so that the cost assumptions can translate into monthly forecasts.
