Why You Should Buy An Existing Restaurant As Opposed To Starting From Scratch

August 31, 2023 by Michael Shea PA

The owner leases a space, and gets a partner who is an expert because “he was in the industry”.  They select a site, hire contractors, lease the space…and spend…the buildout was 350,000…floors, walls, hood system, plumbing, etc.  All the while spending dollars on rent, insurance, and time in a location that is not producing any sales or profits.

How is buying a poorly performing restaurant an opportunity?

April 29, 2023 by Michael Shea PA

Established infrastructure: A poorly performing restaurant may already have an established infrastructure in place, including kitchen equipment, seating, and a loyal customer base. This can provide a foundation to build upon and may make it easier and less expensive to get the restaurant up and running again.
Opportunity for creativity: A new owner of a poorly performing restaurant has the opportunity to inject their own creativity and vision into the business. This can include rebranding, redesigning the menu, or implementing new marketing strategies that can help to differentiate the restaurant from its competitors and attract new customers.
