Sushi Express will be the only takeout and delivery store in Pittsburgh. It will be located in Shadyside, PA, a residential neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our delivery and takeaway sushi is either cheaper than or comparable to sit-down rivals. We provide the convenience of delivery and carryout and an alternative to more traditional daytime snack or lunch options such as sandwiches and pizza. Also our fancy and healthy sushi party tray can be a great draw for party scene. Sushi Express's emphasis will be on healthy and creative sushi and other raw seafood meals with reasonable price and fast delivery. We can realize the competitive price by utilizing automatic sushi making machines instead of hiring sushi master.
In addition, we will provide online ordering service to our customers through our website so that they do not have to wait in line to get their sushi tray.

Sushi Express will be incorporated as an LLC corporation. This will shield the owners, Go Maruyama, Yujin Moon, and Yoshito Maruyama from issues of personal liability and double taxation. The owners will be treated as shareholders, and therefore will not be liable for more than their individual personal investment.

The initial expenses of this business plan will be approximately $65,000. $15,000 will be invested by the three owners. The remaining balance of $50,000 will be obtained through bank loans. This financing is required to begin work on site preparations and modifications, equipment purchases, and to cover expenses in the first year of operation.

The business will be housed in a recently vacated pizza delivery building. After remodeling and modifying, the building will enable Sushi Express to deliver high quality product in an efficient manner. The focus of the business will be sushi and sushi related snacks and meals. Party catering will also be available.

The financing will allow Sushi Express to open and operating through the end of the first year. It will be self sufficient by year two. Although the break even time frame is not until the end of year two, the revenue from operations will be enough to allow the business to sustain itself after the first year.
