Why Restaurants Requires Specialized M&A Expertise
Running a restaurant, bar, or multi-unit hospitality concept is an intensive, hands-on commitment. You manage commercial leases, liquor license compliance, kitchen staff, and strict Prime Cost controls (Food & Beverage COGS below 30%, Labor below 32%). You have built a loyal following and a vibrant dining destination. When selling a food and beverage business, traditional brokers often struggle with commercial landlord lease assignments, municipal liquor license transfers, and health department approvals. At Aria Business Advisors, we package your Prime Cost controls, POS revenue data, leasehold improvements, and turnkey kitchen management to secure top-tier offers from hospitality groups.
How Aria Values Your Restaurants Company
Restaurant valuations depend on Prime Cost margins (under 60% combined food and labor), historical sales per square foot, remaining lease terms, and liquor license values. Single units trade at 2.0x to 4.0x SDE/EBITDA, while multi-unit concepts command 4.0x to 6.5x+ EBITDA.
