FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a restaurant?
The median asking price for restaurants analyzed is $322,500. However, prices can range significantly higher or lower depending on specific factors. The cost of buying a restaurant can vary widely based on location, size, type, and the financial health of the business.
How much do restaurant owners earn?
The median reported revenue and discretionary earnings for restaurant businesses listed for sale is $794,905 and $140,272, respectively. Earnings can vary greatly depending on the type of restaurant, location, management efficiency, and market demand.
How do I value a restaurant business?
Valuing a restaurant business involves analyzing several factors, including annual revenue, earnings, profit margins, location, brand reputation, and physical assets. Most business owners (and buyers) will look at earnings and revenue multiples to gauge the value of a restaurant business relative to its peers in the market.
Based on our most recent analysis, sellers are looking for a revenue multiple between 0.29 and 0.61, with the median at 0.41. Earnings multiples range from 1.77 to 3.19, with the median at 2.41. So, a typical restaurant business will be priced around 0.41 times its annual sales, and 2.41 times its owner's annual discretionary earnings.
