Salvador’s is a manufacturer of Hispanic foods, specializing in salsa and chips. They position themselves as high-quality and high-priced. Over the past three years, Salvador’s has gained popularity and expanded beyond the Hispanic community.
Salvador’s has several objectives for the next three years: increasing sales to two million dollars by Year 5, maintaining gross margins above 55%, establishing 40 outlets for distribution, and becoming the premier Hispanic food producer in the area.
Currently, Salvador’s offers two main product lines: their renowned salsa, known for freshness and quality, and fresh chips in both yellow and blue corn.
Salvador’s targets three customer groups: grocery stores, wholesale distributors, and restaurants. These segments are growing at 75%, 100%, and 45%, respectively. Originally targeting the Hispanic community, Salvador’s products have gained broader appeal.
At their high price point, Salvador’s faces few direct competitors, which gives them an advantage in establishing themselves as the premier brand of authentic Hispanic food.
Salvador’s management team, led by Ricardo and Pat Torres, ensures sustainable growth. Pat, the President, has 12 years of food industry experience, and Ricardo brings six years of financial control experience as a CPA.
Salvador’s expects to reach profitability in three years, with a modest net profit achieved through sales. The financials reinforce the exciting nature of this business.
1.1 Objectives:
– Increase sales significantly in the next three years.
– Improve gross margin % on the current product line and maintain that level.
– Add products and services to meet market demand at a high gross margin.
– Improve inventory turnover and reduce the cost of goods sold while maintaining product quality.
– Provide rewarding and fulfilling jobs to the Hispanic community.
1.2 Mission:
Salvador’s was built on offering high-quality and valuable authentic hot salsa, infused with the history of the Hispanic community. Family recipes, rich in ethnic heritage, have been passed down generations. Knowledgeable consumers sought authentic products with the best ingredients. Salvador’s answered this call by introducing hot, mild, and extra hot salsa, as well as yellow and blue corn chips. We constantly review the market to improve on what’s available and meet consumer demands.
1.3 Keys to Success:
– Deliver high-quality products that stand out in taste and value.
– Provide exceptional service, support, and margin to our dealers.
– Increase gross margin %.
– Introduce new products to drive sales volume.
Salvador’s is in its third year, with sales increasing five-fold in the second year and projected to repeat this growth in the third year. We have established a strong reputation, a talented team, and an expanding presence in the local market. We also have opportunities to expand into other states. Currently, we have over 40 outlets, with two major grocery chains in the approval process to carry our full product line. Additionally, a large distributor plans to sell over $100,000 worth of our products annually.

2.1 Company History:
Salvador’s faced initial challenges due to a lack of working capital during its setup and early operations. However, sales are steadily growing, and the cost of goods sold is consistently decreasing. To make significant progress, additional capital is required to purchase ingredients and increase processing volumes, resulting in a 32% reduction in costs of goods sold overall.

2.2 Company Ownership
Salvador’s is a privately-held C Corporation owned by its co-founders, Ricardo and Pat Torres.
2.3 Company Locations and Facilities
We currently have one location in suburban Perrysburg, which includes the production area, offices, and warehouse. We are considering expanding the warehouse and adding a store front to improve sales practices and provide a high-quality outlet for Hispanic foods.
Products
Salvador’s sells authentic Hispanic salsa and chips to a growing clientele. Originally targeted at the local Hispanic community, our market has expanded geographically and attracted a broad consumer response.
We provide quality and unique products in a competitive market. We aim to elevate our product image due to our rich heritage and unwavering commitment to quality. This approach allows us to identify gaps in the market and develop products to fill them. We have studied and analyzed other ethnic food organizations to position ourselves similarly.
Salvador’s is known for high quality and value, offering authentic Hispanic flavors. We treat our dealers as family, going above and beyond to provide them with top-notch products and the opportunity for on-site product demonstrations at no cost. We plan to continue offering this service, but at a minimal cost in the future to reduce expenses.
3.1 Product Description
We offer two main product lines:
- Our original product, Salsa, is available in hot, extra hot, and mild flavors.
- We also offer yellow corn and blue corn chips.
3.2 Competitive Comparison
To differentiate ourselves, we emphasize the quality and authenticity of our ingredients and the heritage of our family recipe.
We offer more than just a jar of salsa. Our masterfully blended ingredients create a taste and true Hispanic authenticity that cannot be matched.
Our simple products need to be presented in a way that encourages consumers to give us a chance. Once they try our product, we aim to establish a long-term relationship with them.
Compared to other well-known brands, we can charge a premium for our salsa due to its rich and authentic taste.
3.3 Sales Literature
We are developing new brochures and sales materials to assist our marketing efforts, as well as those of our dealers. Our redesigned labels reflect our direction in this area (see appendix/attachment for a copy).
3.4 Sourcing
Our costs are a significant factor in our profit margin. As our orders increase, we need to increase production in a way that maintains our margin. We have found a local supplier who can handle larger batches of salsa while maintaining our high quality, reducing production costs by over 32% per jar.
We continue to seek opportunities to reduce production costs while preserving quality. Our outsourcing for corn chips has shown that we can contract for a high-quality product to meet our gross profit margin goals
3.5 Future Products
We are currently researching the addition of an authentic Hispanic Sauce, as well as other Hispanic food items, to expand our product offerings and generate more interest in Salvador’s, Inc.
In addition to new products, we are exploring other avenues for marketing our overall line, such as establishing a small store front and eventually a lunch counter or small restaurant setting.
Market Analysis Summary
We have been selling our products at a rate of $2,500 per month to local restaurants, small grocery stores, and Hispanic food distributors. We are awaiting approval from a large grocery chain to sell our products and have received a commitment from a large distributor to purchase $100,000 to $150,000 worth of product per year. We have also approached several other large grocery chains that are considering carrying the Salvador’s product line.
4.1 Market Segmentation
The Hispanic food industry is booming, offering a wide range of items from various vendors. Salvador’s approaches the market as a Specialty Retailer, providing authentic high-quality Hispanic salsa and chips.
We have made significant progress with several local restaurants and a small grocery store, establishing a market presence. We are now looking to develop our own store front to cater specifically to the Hispanic client and individuals who appreciate authentic Hispanic cuisine.
In addition to our current efforts, we are considering packaging our products for fundraising events, corporate promotions, and the possibility of a house restaurant to further promote our products.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy
We are initially focusing on the Hispanic community to emphasize authenticity and gain indirect promotion through their product choices.
4.2.1 Market Growth
The market analysis reveals a diverse range of potential clients. The mainstream American market is projected to grow at 12% per year, while the Hispanic segment is projected to grow at 22% per year.
4.3 Industry Analysis
The Hispanic food industry is gaining popularity, and Salvador’s stands out due to its authentic taste.
While the economy may impact various sectors, food items, especially specialty products, tend to fare well in the market.
4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns
There are numerous suppliers of salsa and similar products, yet there is still room for new products and companies.
Positioning ourselves in the higher end of the market allows us to consistently sell our product and expand our audience by entering larger grocery chains.
4.3.2 Main Competitors
Despite being compared to established market leaders such as Chi – Chi’s, El Paso, and Hunt’s, Salvador’s differentiates itself by offering a fresh approach to authentic taste and texture.
4.3.3 Industry Participants
Although there are several vendors offering competitive products, Salvador’s salsa and chips stand out with vibrant packaging and positioning that catches the consumer’s eye.
4.3.4 Distribution Patterns
While brand names carry weight in the marketplace, our unique marketing approach, displaying and demonstrating our products in local restaurants and grocery stores, builds consumer awareness at a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising methods.
In addition, participating in food fairs and festivals allows us to interact directly with consumers, gaining firsthand insight into their preferences.
Strategy and Implementation Summary
Our strategy focuses on serving niche markets effectively, meeting the needs of consumers who seek high-quality and authentic products. We utilize multiple avenues, including grocery stores and major distributors, to achieve continuous exposure for Salvador’s name.

Our contacts with grocery chains extend beyond the local region due to their normal distribution channels. Our aim is to grow along with them.
5.1.2 Distribution Strategy
We constantly improve our packaging to enhance corporate identity, incorporating features like barcodes and nutritional information.
5.1.3 Pricing Strategy
We provide competitive pricing, allowing for generous mark-ups to benefit our dealers while ensuring a satisfactory experience for consumers. Our salsa retails for $2.79 to $3.05 per jar, positioning us in the mid-to-upper price range of the salsa market and offering a 33% margin for dealers.

5.2.1 Sales Programs
We focus on generating sales through major names, including Meijer, Inc., Foodtown, Inc., Kroger’s, Moctezuma Foods, Inc., IGA, Churchill’s, and Ohlman’s.
We are currently interviewing distributors to enhance our marketing and distribution of salsa. Building strong relationships with buyers through regular sales calls and providing samples of new products is crucial to our success in this channel.
5.2.2 Sales Forecast
We project significant sales growth in the next 12 months due to commitments from distributors to increase volume in the future.
This growth will continue at a lower rate over the next few years. We expect the growth rate to level off within five years, remaining steady. If the Hispanic food market continues its current pace, we will keep pace with it. Although we anticipate a downturn in the product within three years, resulting in lower figures, we hope this forecast is overly cautious.

We are forecasting rapid growth for Salvador’s this year. This is due to large orders from distributors, commitments from Meijer’s and Kroger’s, and increasing orders from current clients.
7.1 Important Assumptions
The financial plan depends on important assumptions:
- We assume a slow-growth economy, without major recession.
- We assume that there are no unforeseen changes in the consumer market.
- We assume access to equity capital and financing.
General Assumptions | |||
1996 | 1997 | 1998 | |
Plan Month | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Current Interest Rate | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% |
Long-term Interest Rate | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% |
Tax Rate | 25.00% | 25.00% | 25.00% |
Other | 0 | 0 | 0 |
7.2 Key Financial Indicators
The ability to procure financing is crucial for our growth. The current orders exceed our production capacity. Purchasing from a local processor or acquiring production equipment are options. We aim to maintain high gross margins, limit marketing costs to 20% of sales, and pass on savings to customers.
7.3 Break-even Analysis
The break-even analysis reveals Salvador’s balanced fixed costs and strong sales, ensuring its overall health. We have already surpassed the monthly break-even point, although last year’s loss can be attributed to high costs during the first half of the year.
We recently partnered with a new jar supplier, resulting in an 18% reduction in salsa jar costs for our next supply order. This will further decrease the break-even point and contribute to our goal of improving the salsa margin.
Break-even Analysis
Monthly Revenue Break-even: $4,747
Assumptions:
– Average Percent Variable Cost: 39%
– Estimated Monthly Fixed Cost: $2,919
Projected Profit and Loss
We anticipate strong sales growth this year and continued increases in sales annually until the end of the century, resulting in a comfortable net profit.
