Selling a Restaurant?

Why 90% of Restaurant Sales Fail:

• List at the wrong price — scares buyers or leaves money on the table
• Confidentiality issues — staff/customers leave before the deal closes
• Lease nightmares — Florida CAM fees can kill deals

Our 6-Step Restaurant Sale Process

1. Pre-Sale “Profit Maximizer” Audit

• Fix red flags (food costs, labor overages)
• Document secret recipes/processes
• Stage your space — just like real estate!

2. Hyper-Targeted Marketing

• Listed to our exclusive buyer network
• Pitched to franchise groups, hospitality investors, chef-entrepreneurs
• Silent marketing — employees won't know unless you decide

3. Bulletproof Negotiations

• Structure deals around Florida lease laws
• Smooth liquor license transfers (300+ in Miami-Dade closed)
• Ironclad NDAs to protect against “menu copying”
