Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating restaurant and food business acquisitions.
Cash-heavy businesses invite optimistic numbers; verify reported revenue against the processor and the returns before you trust a figure.
Remaining term, escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a restaurant; a strong concept on a non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.
Margins are thin and move with wages and commodities; understand prime cost and how stable the kitchen and front-of-house staff are.
Liquor licenses, health permits, and inspection history are valuable and sometimes fragile; review the record before you commit.
A chef-owner or personality-driven concept may not transfer; understand the recipes, systems, and whether the brand survives new ownership.
Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, and the dining room wear and date; tour it with someone who knows the gear.
