If you have the benefit of even one session with a business plan consultant, come prepared with questions to ask him or her. If you have a draft of your plan, see if the consultant can read it before you meet to make the meeting more productive.What Do Funders Want?One of the most important topics that business plan consultants can offer their expertise on is what investors and lenders (and specific classes of each group) want to see in a business plan.

The Menu as Differentiation While having a unique or attractive menu is only one of the potential methods of differentiating your restaurant, it is one of the most common. Unless your restaurant's location, atmosphere, or some kind of gimmick sets it apart as a destination, the menu and quality of the food is what will draw in customers and, most importantly, keep them coming back for more.
