I am interested in owning a sushi/sake bar in San Francisco in an area
that does not have any sushi restaurants, has good foot traffic, and
would potential make all of its income during the lunch hours.  Can
any one send me some information on a business plan, inventory list,
possible payroll demands to get a place started.

Hi!  For basic info and a wealth of contact information for local
Sushi Bar Owners in San Francisco, try www.eatsushi.com and enter the
regional search (San Francisco).  There are approx 167 sushi bars
listed, so finding the unstaked out corner will be your first
challenge.  There are email links to the owners of each restaurant, so
you may find "professional help" from the competition.  Also, from my
experience (10 years in Japan), sushi for lunch is not a big
moneymaker, unless you are trying for one of the "Robata" Sushi type
places (conveyor belt/cheap eats).  Sushi is a evening pastime,
especially in a area with a heavy Japanese population.  I am sure that
most of your other questions can be answered from the website I
mentioned above (Suppliers, estimates, etc.) Another helpful website
is www.bplans.com which has business plan information and start up
cost calculators to help you once you have the basic information.

Can any one give me more information?
