I used to keep P&L, cash flow, and charts in separate files. This pulled everything together and saved me a full day when I had to prep for a lender call.
Starting from scratch always slowed me down. With this wine bar model, I had a working draft on the same afternoon and a clear path to adjust assumptions.
The Wine Bar financial model is an edited five-year workbook built around weekday covers, mid-career checks, seasonality, sales mix, operating expenses, scenarios and financial statements.
Use the workbook to translate the wine bar opening calendar, weekday traffic, average customer spending, sales mix, staff and operating expenses into a structured forecast financial statement.
The editable assumptions are the source of model calculations, financial statements, scenario comparisons, dashboard and other reports, so that operational changes flow through forecast.
Revenue starts with medium-sized establishments by working day, transforms this movement by operational calendar and seasonality, applies mid-week and weekend checks and allocates sales by category.
Enter average covers or orders for each day of the operating week.
Convert weekday covers to forecast periods using the operating days, weeks and opening calendar.
Adjust covers forecast by month using an edited seasonal pattern.
Apply the appropriate weekly or weekend average check and then allocate sales by category.
The amount of sales of the monthly category as well as the subsidiary sales used separately.
Revenue worksheet combines the opening date, weekday covers, seasonality, mid-week and weekend checks and the product mix with the sale of forecast.
REVENUE
COGS and OPEX worksheet separate direct costs, Variable Costs and Fixed operating expenses with the edited timing and driver assumptions.
COGS & OPEX
In the scenario report, it compares Low, Base, and High cases with respect to revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA with respect to forecast.
SCENARIOS
The Dashboard combines configuration controls, scenario outcomes, core finances, revenue composition, profitability, cash flow and returns in one management view.
DASHBOARD
Choose a ready-made model when covers, average check, seasonality and mix of categories match the wine bar; use custom modelling for a fundamentally different operating logic.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
Financial Models Lab may build or adapt a financial model where requirements require different revenue logic, operational timetable or reporting.
