If you have to ask this question, you have no business making your own marketing plan. I apologize if this sounds harsh, but there's a good reason why the majority of food services fail. Most owners go into business thinking good products and service will make them successful when it's just not true. Effective management systems and marketing make a business successful, not products and service. Products and service must meet the expectations of a customer once they get in the door, but they will not be the reason for a customer's buying decision. People buy to fulfill emotions. Successful marketing campaigns are based on promising customers a certain feeling when they come into a business, then developing a unique selling point that helps deliver that feeling to the customer. This unique selling point and the feeling is then incorporated into every aspect of the businesses marketing. In a food service, that could include the food selection, menu design, store interior/exterior design, signage, advertising, letterhead and any other item that represents the business. Successful businesses do not sell products, they sell feelings.\n\nSome examples:\nMcDonalds does not sell hamburgers. McDonalds sells convenience to adults and fun to children.\nHard Rock Cafe does not sell food. They sell nostalgia.\nHooters does not sell wings. They sell sex.\nBurger King does not sell burgers. They sell accomodation (Have it your way).\nTavern on the Green does not sell gourmet food. They sell stature.\nSubway does not sell sandwiches. They sell health.\n\nThe SBA is a good resource, but even with the best "samples" in the world, an inexperienced marketer cannot develop a solid marketing plan. Even most marketing companies don't have a clue about solid marketing plans. They specialize in negotiating good prices on advertising, then reselling the advertising to clients for a profit.\n\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\n(316) 361-0675\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com\n\nFree initial consultations

Prices can be helpful when you're looking around online for a place to go. Any specials that you have going on would be good to have on there. You should link to a map website that can give customers driving directions, and give ways to contact you.\nmaybe a message board? It could start a community that likes to hang out at your place, and you would also get feedback.

Make up business cards with punches on them, creating a free sandwich when the card is full, or a free capuccino. Get cups, with your business name on them, sell them, giving a discount on refills. That brings the customer back to you to get a discounted drink. Anything that gets the customer returning is good. Put out samples of some items. Have other non-food items available for sale that advertise your business. Put out a sidewalk sign, advertising your grand opening. Use balloons & banners on the front of your building. Have friends or your kids stand out in front passing out balloons with your business name printed on them. Have fun. Good luck. <*)))><

Just check local papers or guitar shops may have a bulletin board.  Often, local city papers that're more "indie" have musician want ads. for ex. in NYC, you see dozens in "The Village Voice")
