From Miami and Orlando to Tampa Bay and Jacksonville, we assist restaurant owners and buyers across the Sunshine State.

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

Get Top Dollar & Exit Gracefully

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”
“Sold my Key West seafood spot for 42% more than I expected—in 90 days!”

Buying a Restaurant?

Common Mistakes Buyers Make:

  • Overpay for “potential” — ignore seasonal swings
  • Miss hidden risks — like health violations, license issues
  • Poor location choices — tourist traps vs. local gems

Find Hidden Gems Before Competitors Do

Why 70% of Florida’s Best Restaurants Never Hit Public Listings:

  • Off-market deals — family bistros, distressed franchises, turnkey locations
  • Pre-vetted financials — no "COVID-adjusted" fantasy numbers
  • Florida-specific insights — tourist cash flow, hurricane prep, local supplier perks

3 Red Flags We’ll Help You Avoid

  • Lease Time Bombs: CAM fees, renewals, assignment traps
  • Menu Misfits: Wrong concept in the wrong market? We’ll warn you
  • Staffing Disasters: Seasonal labor shortages can kill ROI — we’ll audit retention rates
