Executive Summary The Harvest Moon Cafe is a small restaurant serving lunch and supper. Located in the former Credit Union Building in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, The Harvest Moon Cafe offers fresh food, good food and quality customer service. The business has been run as a sole proprietorship (owned by Caitlin Mroz) but can be a partnership or corporation. This cafe meets the growing demand for healthy food options and quality service. As the Village of Val Marie and Grasslands National Park are becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination, there is more demand for a restaurant that offers healthy food, local specialities and accommodates dietary restrictions. The Harvest Moon Cafe is the only restaurant in the town that meets this need. The Harvest Moon Cafe will offers soups, salads and sandwiches for lunch as well as daily specials. Suppers are grilled bison, beef or chicken with seasonally available vegetables. Homemade desserts and ice creams are available daily. Regionally brewed wine and beer are also be available. The Harvest Moon Cafe will also offers vegetarian and gluten free meal options. The cafe is a seasonal operation from May to September, opened 7 days per week with the option to reduce hours during the winter months This business will be successful as it is the only restaurant in the region to meet the demands of a growing tourist population. More so, this business will offer high quality customer service and consistent business hours that meet the needs of tourists and local residents. This cafe will be successful as it is unique in South West Saskatchewan. It is the only restaurant within 1.5 hours that uses the “farm to fork” principle. This location of this business will also support its success. The business is located on Centre St. in Val Marie Saskatchewan close to the visitor information centre, a museum, a school, a library, art galleries and a grocery store (next door). There are 5 hotels within 5 minutes and 1 more within 20 minutes. Although the Village of Val Marie is small, there are over 15,000 visitors that come to Val Marie every year and no doubt pass by the location of the cafe of Centre Street. Val Marie is a growing town and is becoming a very popular tourism industry. As Val Marie has huge potential as a tourist destination, this restaurant is a very worthwhile investment. Through my experience with tourism and economic development in Val Marie and South West Saskatchewan, I have become very familiar with the typical visitors that come to Val Marie. This business will be successful as there are menu items targeted to Val Marie residents and the average visitor to Val Marie. The marketing strategy and promotional campaigns that will be employed will also target these market segments. My thorough understanding of the target market segments’ needs and preferences have been a huge asset for this business. The Harvest Moon Cafe will be a successful business. Low overhead costs combined with a huge demand are key assets. A unique menu will meet the growing demand for healthier food options. The Harvest Moon Cafe will be a successful business as it will serve local food, good food with high quality service.

The Business

4 | P a g e

The Company The business is a small restaurant/café in the former Credit Union Building. This business has been licensed as The Harvest Moon Cafe and is registered as a sole proprietorship. The Harvest Moon Cafe serves fresh food options for lunch and supper.There is a huge demand amongst local residents and visitors to Val Marie/ Grasslands National Park for fresh foods, healthy meals, local specialties and gluten-free/vegetarian options. This restaurant will meet those needs. Mission Statement: To become known across South West Saskatchewan for good food, local specialities and high quality customer service and to accomplish this mission in a sustainable way. Goals:

To become a self-sustaining seasonal restaurant in Val Marie.

To become a regional restaurant and eating destination in South West Saskatchewan.

To promote local food specialties amongst tourists to Grasslands National Park.

To meet the needs of a growing community and tourism industry.

To become regionally known for vegetarian, gluten-free and local foods. Objectives:

To operate a seasonal cafe that will generate enough revenue to maintain costs during the off season.

Customers leave the cafe feeling satisfied with the customer service, quality of food and operational hours.

To generate loyalty amongst local and regional customers. Business Philosophy: Fresh food, good food, good service. The Business name for The Harvest Moon Cafe has been searched and reserved for use. The Harvest Moon Cafe was registered as a business in the province of Saskatchewan on November 24th, 2011 (Please see Appendix B). The Entity Number is 101195733. The Harvest Moon Cafe has been licensed under the Provincial Sales Tax Act to engage in business as a Vendor in the Province of Saskatchewan (Please See Appendix C). The licence number is 2491207. In 2013 a restaurant in Shaunavon, SK opened up named The Harvest Eatery. Although the names are similar, there have not been any mixups to date. The facility has been licensed by a public health inspector from Cypress Health Region since 2012. The building was inspected by a licensed Level III Building Inspector in the summer of 2012. A liquor permit through the government of Saskatchewan was obtained in October of 2012. The business also has Workers Compensation Coverage.

The Industry The proposed business is part of the food industry. However as the seasonal tourism industry expands, the proposed business would also be linked to the tourism and hospitality industry. Currently in the Village of Val Marie, there is only one restaurant/bar and one small coffee shop. The proposed business would be the only eating establishment to serve fresh foods. This niche market is the key to a successful business. The customer base for this industry in Val Marie is local residents, regional residents and the 15,000 tourists to Grasslands National Park, as well as hundreds of people crossing the border at the Port of Monchy.

The food industry in Val Marie is growing. During the summer (May to September) summer students from across Canada come to Val Marie to study, research or work. As the population of Val Marie almost doubles during the summer season with seasonal workers and summer home owners, there is more demand for healthy food options, vegetarian meals and regional specialties. Although in some areas the food industry may be a difficulty business to get into, there is huge potential for the food industry in Val Marie. From working at Grasslands National Park for the past 5 years, I am personally responsible for the visitor statistics. The visitation to Grasslands National Park and the Val Marie area has rose from 6,000 in 2008 to over 10,000 in 2009 and 2010. Working in the Visitor Reception Centre, I have heard from hundreds of visitors the need to have a restaurant in Val Marie with healthy food options, local specialties, regular business hours and good customer service. Visitor numbers in 2015 were about 15,000. Visitation increased significantly in 2016 when the park implemented a reservation system for the campground. Visitation for the 2017 season is predicted to be the highest ever as all national parks in Canada are allowing free entry to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. The 2008 Visitor Improvement Survey conducted by Grasslands National Park found that over 42% of visitors to Grasslands National Park felt that there should be more food related facilities available in the park or in the area. Many visitors commented on the lack of restaurants and stores in Val Marie (Hooper, 2009). The First Impressions Survey conducted by the Val Marie Economic Development Committee found that only 40% of visitors to Val Marie were dissatisfied with the variety and quality of merchandise in the down town area. Many visitors commented that there should be a seasonal restaurant open for the tourist season with regular business hours (Val Marie Economic Development Committee, 2011).

The Opportunity As a growing community and popular tourist attraction, the Village of Val Marie has huge potential. The Harvest Moon Cafe is a unique opportunity. The restaurant is located in a fully wheel-chair accessible building. The building is permitted for liquor. This establishment focuses on serving lunches, suppers and desserts. As there are more and more tourists, there is more and more demand for gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. The tourists are also wanting and willing to pay higher prices for higher quality food, fresh food and authentic local experiences. This café meets that need.

The Product/ Service The proposed establishment is unique as it employs the farm to fork principle. By accommodating diverse dietary needs and provide a healthy eating option, this café is meeting the needs of tourists and local/regional residents. Tourists looking to try local specialities are satisfied at this restaurant/café. Reviews from yelp and tripadvisor have all been positive. The operational hours of the café will be Sunday to Saturday from 11:30am to 8:30pm and closed from 2pm-3pm. This will allow for staff to work an 8 hour day with a 1 hour unpaid break. The café will serve lunches and suppers. It will be opened on holidays because the visitation to Val Marie tends to increase on those days and all other eating establishments tend to be closed. There will be focus on quality customer service. This establishment will be the only eating establishment opened 7 days a week with regular meal options. The name of the proposed eating establishment is The Harvest Moon Cafe. This name was selected as it is appealing to both the typical visitor to Val Marie and the typical local resident. The word “harvest” makes people think about local food, fresh food and abundance. Potential for Future Expansion

6 | P a g e

As the tourism industry in South West Saskatchewan has been on the rise and is predicted to continue doing so, the proposed eating establishment has potential to grow. More staff could be hired to meet the demand. There are also two vacant lots surrounding the building. An outdoor patio and outdoor grill would accommodate more patrons. Also, live musical entertainment and outdoor concerts could be a method to increase use of the outdoor patio. The former bank safe could be converted into a walk in cooler to meet the increased business.

The Target Market The there are two target markets for this restaurant, local and regional residents as well as visitors to Grasslands National Park.

Local and Regional Residents South West Saskatchewan is primarily composed of farmers and/or ranchers who have been in the area for several generations (Val Marie Economic Development Committee, 2011b). The population of South West Saskatchewan, including Swift Current is about 55,000 people. Regional residents come to Val Marie to visit Grasslands National Park, passing through (to the United States) or to visit friends or family. Approximately 27% of all visitors to Grasslands National Park and the Val Marie area are from Saskatchewan (Hooper, 2009). There are about 137 people in Val Marie, SK,In Val Marie, 65% of households are childless and 90% are single, detached homes. This suggests that these people may have disposable income be more inclined to eat out on a regular basis. Although many residents work in agriculture, approximately 25% people are employed at Grasslands National Park year rounds and another 20% are employed seasonally (Val Marie Economic Development Committee, 2011b). According to the Resident Survey, over 60% of residents would like new food services in Val Marie (Val Marie Economic Development Committee, 2011c) Regional specialities enjoyed by this market segment are beef and pork. The preferred alcoholic beverages are regionally brewed such as Cypress Hills Wine and Pilsner Beer. The proposed menu of The Harvest Moon Café would meet the needs of this segment.

Visitors to Grasslands National Park Visitors to Grasslands National Park have been nick-named the “Tilley Hat Brigade.” These people tend to be over the age of 55, traveling in a party of 2 and come to Val Marie to watch wildlife and sightseeing. These people tend to come from Regina, Saskatoon, Ontario or British Columbia. The Tilley Hat Brigade tends to prefer beds over tents and is willing to pay more for authentic experiences to the area. (Hooper, 2009).

Meeting the Needs of Market Segments This eating establishment offers meals that meet the needs of both of these market segments. Local specialities such as bison burgers or beef steaks will appeal to both crowds. Quality coffees, teas and desserts will meet the needs of both market segments. The menu is reviewed annually to make sure it is meeting the needs of the market segments. The name and image of the café will also be attractive to both market segments. The pricing for The Harvest Moon Cafe is be reasonable. Costs will be approximately $10 for lunch, $15 for supper, $5 for alcohol or a dessert, and $2 for coffee or tea. The prices for meals are comparable to the competitions. The prices for alcohol, dessert or coffee are about 20% higher than the competition. This

should not deter customers as the target market is often willing to pay more for higher quality. This also allows for local residents to come multiple times per week. The place of the cafe also meet the needs of the target market segments. It is in a convenient location for residents to Val Marie as it is located on Centre St. near other businesses. The place of the cafe may also meet the needs of regional residents as it is less than an hour drive from Ponteix, Cadillac, Orkney, Bracken, Climax, Frontier, Mankota, Vanguard, Wymark, Hazenmore, Aneroid and Admiral. The location of the café will also meet the needs of tourists to Val Marie. As it is located next to the grocery store, near the Hotel (with an ATM machine) and close to tourist shops, many tourists will see it when passing by. Tourists to the area want to try local

delicacies like bison, and have the financial ability to purchase the high end meats, along with alcohol. The promotional strategy directly target the market segment. Email newsletters with weekly specials and a sandwich board attract local residents. Community based marketing (websites, online event calendars and community bulletin boards) have attracted regional residents. Relationships have been established with local accommodation providers to cross-promote. Catering for tour groups and workshops have been established with repeat tour operators.

Competition

Currently, there is only one major competitor in Val Marie, the Val Marie Hotel. They serve wings, burgers and fries. Their sales are decreasing as local residents are growing tired of the same menu and the poor service. This restaurant has limited hours and is not open with full hours on weekends when the majority of tourists are in town.The Val Marie hotel has been in Val Marie for over 50 years and has a strong reputation. Although it has changed ownership many times, the menu has always remained the same. This competitor also has a full size bar. The hours of operation for the Val Marie Hotel are sporadic. They hotel will close down at 7:00pm in the evenings. It is not open on Saturday (daytime), Sundays, or Holidays. The hotel is closed periodically if the main cook is sick, or has an appointment. This has left Val Marie residents frustrated with the sporadic business hours and lack of consistency. Currently there are a few local residents who eat at the Val Marie Hotel on a regular basis. On special event nights, many local residents will come out. In the past, there was a small café in Val Marie that offered healthy food options, similar to the proposed menu for The Harvest Moon Café. This café was always busy and well supported by the town. The other minor competitor is Prairie Wind and Silver Sage. They are a coffee bar that serves lattes, coffee and snacks. The menu is very limited as they only serve one type of muffin, one type of cookie and one type of brownie. They also operate a gift store, art gallery and museum. Their sales are increasing as they cater to the “Tilley Hat Brigade” and visitation at Grasslands is increasing. Due to popular demand they have started serving vegetarian and gluten free options. This has made them very popular among Val Marie residents and visitors alike. Prairie Wind and Silver Sage is opened daily on a seasonal basis from about 9am to 5pm. Visitors tend to be very happy with their hours of operation and services. Most importantly Prairie Wind and Silver Sage offers good customer service and regular business hours. Sales for the past few years have been increasing. The menu offered at the proposed restaurant is very different from those offered at local competitors. The Val Marie Hotel offers exclusively Chinese and deep fried food,

while Prairie Wind and Silver Sage offers exclusively coffees and snacks. This restaurant offers sandwiches, soups, salads, steaks and pastas. From watching the competition, I have learned that consistent business hours and good customer service is key. This is the difference between the decrease in sales at the Val Marie Hotel and the increase in sales at Prairie Wind and Silver Sage. I have also learned that it is important to sell something else other than food.

Marketing The target market for this restaurant/café is the following: residents of Val Marie (150 summer residents), regional residents (about 55,000) and visitors to Grasslands National Park (about 10,000 visitors/per year) (Parks Canada Agency, 2010). The food available at this establishment will meet the demands of these market segments. More specifically beef, pork and bison options will be available to meet the needs of the local crowd. Vegetarian, gourmet and regional specialties will be available to meet the needs of tourists to the park. Prices will be reasonable, but enough to cover costs and make a profit to cover off-season expenses. Payments are accepted by cash and cheque. A Point of Sale terminal to process visa and debit cards is rented. There is an ATM is located across the street. The café does not use a cash register, but an excel spreadsheet on and a touchscreen lap top computer (included with sale of the cafe).

The restaurant/café is marketed in Grasslands National Park, regional accommodation locations, on the radio, community bulletin boards and on the internet. A dry erase board advertises local specialties. A website and facebook page has been developed for The Harvest Moon Café. This information can be passed on to the new owner. The website has over 12,000 page views per year. The facebook page has almost 400 followers. The Café has received significant publicity. Margaret Atwood visited the café several times in 2013. The café was featured in a special about rural restaurants in the Gull Lake Advance. SkyNews Magazine named the café as the best restaurant near a dark sky preserve in 2015.

Operating Requirements

Location The proposed restaurant/café will be established in the former Credit Union Building in Val Marie. It is located on Centre Street. The building has been purchased from the Village of Val Marie by tender as a tax sale.The building is insured for about $220,000 through Cornet Agencies. This location along Centre Street will easily attract visitors passing by.

(4’x9’), a furnace room, an entry way and one large room. The building is equipped with a relatively new central air conditioning unit and high efficiency furnace. Lighting fixtures were added in 2012 to brighten up the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen consists of a three basin sink and hand washing sink. These meet the needs of the regional health regulations. The stove is electric with 4 burners, a grill and double oven. There is one fridge in the bank vault and one in the kitchen. There also a small deep freezer in the bank vault. There is a small prep-fridge in the kitchen. Clear glass door fridges are found in the dining room. The restaurant is designed to serve homemade dishes as much as possible. Recipes for popular soups, salad dressings and sauces can be provided. All foods will be from local sources where applicable and season dependent. Working relationships with local Hutterite colonies and the Whitemud Grocery Store next door have been established. The overall goal is to provide fresh food from sustainable sources. The cafe also includes 4 slow cookers of various sizes as well as two chaffing dishes which can be used for catering or other special events. The dessert menu includes ice creams, cheesecakes, and baked goods. The cafe is set up to prepare all the desserts in house. A small ice cream maker, many cake pans, cheesecake pans and cake decorating accessories are on hand. A medium sized Kitchenaid mix master is included with the cafe and can be used for doughs, creams or batters. Specialty wines and regionally brewed beers will be available. Local cocktails such as a prairie sunrise and a spiked Saskatoon berry punch have been big hits. Recipes for these special popular cocktails will be included with the sale. Both meat and vegetarian options are be available. Vegetarian burgers made with local lentils and local vegetables have been a popular item. Recipes for homemade burgers will also be included. There is a small microwavefor occasional use. Two domestic kitchen range hood were added for ventilation and lighting. This meets the needs health and building regulations as there is not a deep fryer. A janitorial closet will be added to the existing washroom to store cleaning supplies as per health regulations. Tables and chairs were purchased for dining. Paint for the dining room is a sunflower yellow. This is to reflect the theme of the harvest moon. Psychological research also finds yellow makes people feel hungry. The colour yellow will also brighten up the dining room. Flooring may be added to the dining room. This will be a darker brown colour and designed to handle a lot of wear. Fire safety equipment will also be purchased to prevent fires. This includes first aid kits, fire extinguishers and signage. This is in accordance with provincial health and public safety regulations. The facility is licenced as a public eating establishment by the Public Health Inspector for Cypress Region. A Level III building inspector inspected the venue in 2012. . A liquor license was obtained in 2012. A business license application has been approved. Water and power are available at the building. A sandpoint was installed in 2012 and the electrical was upgraded in 2012. Air conditioning and heat are also available. Natural gas is available in the building. An air exchange unit is also located in the basement of the building. A natural gas, 40 gallon water heater was installed in 2012. The facility is currently barrier free and accessible. One washroom is accessible and will be used for both men and women.

10 | P a g e

Renovations As the building has previously been used as a bank, some renovations took place in 2011 and 2012. A wall with a pass through window was added to separate the kitchen from the dining area. A washroom was also be added (this is included in the budget under contract costs). The kitchen flooring will be replaced and the walls were painted a light colour to meet the health regulations. As per requirements by the Health Inspector and Building Inspector, a domestic range hood was be added. Basic fire suppression equipment will be purchased. Fire suppression equipment such as sprinklers, is not required. The facility also has a large closet about 9’x4’ that will be used for dry food storage or other supplies. The former bank vault will be used for dry food storage and for a fridge and deep freezer. The inside of the vault measures about 8’x8’ and should allow for adequate food storage. The basement of the facility is a large crawl space but will not be used for storage as it could flood on a wet year AND if proper attention is not paid to the sump pumps. The dining area was painted and new floors installed. . The entry way was also updated to feel more welcome. A customized light sign was installed outside. Parking is available on the street in front of the building.

Source of Food and Products The goal of this restaurant is to source all food items from local or regional establishments. All food will be purchased according to public health inspection guidelines. Meats are purchased through government inspected butchers in Swift Current. Vegetables are purchased from local Hutterite colonies, Whitemud Grocery Store, Treasure Valley Farms or Wholesale Club in Swift Current. Breads and pastas will be purchased from Wholesale Club or Schimmels Bakery. The possibility of baking bread in-house will depend on staffing. Alcoholic beverages are purchased through the Val Marie – Whitemud Grocery Store or from Swift Current. Souvenir and consignment items are for sale from local and regional artists. Souvenir items include Saskatoon berry products, mustards, photographs, pottery, jewelry and more.

Personnel The Café currently employs 4 employees. Their names can be passed on to the new buyer. Summer students working at the park are often hired as servers during the busy summer months. Staffing has been easy, despite that Val Marie is a small town.

Operations The restaurant/café is normally opened from 11am to 8pm. Employees will be able to take a break from 2pm to 3pm. One to two employees will be present at each meal time. Casual staff will be called on as needed. This will be residents of Val Marie who are able to come in on short notice to cover sick days, special events or large group reservations. A list of interested potential staff members is available for the employer. On special event days, extra staff will need to be brought in and this schedule may be adjusted. The staff may be drawn from the list of casual staff. The extra revenue generated from special events due to increased patronage will cover the costs of extra staff.

11 | P a g e

A private contractor has been employed to clean the facility on a weekly basis. This will be for two, one hour periods per week. The contractor is normally responsible for the washrooms, entry way and windows.

Conclusion This business in Val Marie is a unique service offered in a town with huge potential. The small town combined with the seasonal tourists will make this business successful. There is huge demand for a restaurant that serves fresh food from both seasonal tourists and local residents. This seasonal operation will fill the needs of the demand. Support from Saskatchewan Small Business Loans Association Program would benefit this business and local economic development. This business will employ 1 full time staff, 2 part time staff, 1 part time manager, and about 4 casual staff members. Support for this business will directly impact about 8 people. As Val Marie has a growing tourism industry, this business will support tourists and provide a key service. One of the greatest complaints about Val Marie is that there are no places to eat on Sundays or Holidays. This locally operated business will contribute to tourism in south west Saskatchewan by offering local specialties, a menu that accommodates diverse dietary needs and high quality service. The proposed Café will be a huge asset to the Village of Val Marie, regional residents and tourists to South West Saskatchewan. This café will provide work opportunities to local and regional residents. The low start up costs and the low overhead costs make this project a reasonable endeavour and a worthwhile investment.
