How to Value a Restaurant or Bar that is not Showing Profit

How much money is a restaurant worth? Does it have any value if the restaurant is not turning a profit or barely breaking even?

Restaurants, coffee shops or bars are valuable even if they are not showing a profit. These kinds of businesses are valued through the replacement value technique which assumes a buyer pays the seller a price that is not dependent on the income value to benefit from the existing investment in the restaurant facility, the lease and the location. In other words, the buyer is starting a restaurant business at a discount and will pay for the right to avoid spending hundreds of thousands or even millions and avoid all the delays and city regulations in building a new restaurant

Here is what a restaurant –seller has to say when he received an offer on his business.
“…they see that the only valuable asset of a restaurant is the equipment such as freezer, refrigerator, oven, ice maker and the espresso machine. Sure this equipment can easily be bought at discounted price from restaurant equipment liquidators. I bought some of them myself.
But to open this restaurant, I spent more than the cost of these machines. I paid an architect to draw the layout so this will pass the permit requirement. I had to present these plans to the city’s planning committee for their approval and that was not a stroll in the park. And then the contractor, oh boy… Our target was 3 months. It took us 9 months to finish building this 1000sf restaurant! My landlord gave me 2 months TI (tenant improvement) period but after that I had to pay rent month after month until the construction was completed. I had a great location in Santa Monica but it sure was not cheap, $250,000. I won’t get into the details but it is hard to put a value on the time, sweat, and near-breakdowns I put into this business… And then I get an offer for $10,000 because the buyer thinks my used equipment is only worth that much. I know I won’t get back the money I invested but come on.”
****
When valuing a Restaurant using the replacement value technique, you  need to take into consideration the costs of the following Assets:
- Tenant Improvements (electrical rewiring, plumbing, heating and air conditioning. cosmetic changes, build outs)
- Fixtures (hood system/ventilation, grease trap, walk-ins, shelving units, lighting)
- Permits and licenses (health permit, ABC license, entertainment permit, extended hours to operate)
- Location, location, location (Is this even replaceable?)
- Lease
- Goodwill
- Equipments
- Furniture
- Clientele/Database
- **Alcohol license (ABC License Type 41, Type 47 or Type 48)

Buying a Restaurant or Bar and the Transfer of Liquor License

When we list a restaurant or bar for sale with Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license, we generally get significant buyer activities on them.  For buyers of such businesses who do not understand how a liquor license is transferred, here is an overview.

The number of retail liquor licenses, especially Type 47 (full liquor license for restaurants) and Type 48 (full liquor license for bars and nightclubs) that can be issued in a county is restricted.  The limited supply of liquor licenses and the lengthy process to get an ABC license approved make businesses with permit to sell alcohol highly desirable and valuable.

When buying a business with beer and wine or full liquor license, the transfer of ABC license from one person or entity to another person or entity is called a “person-to-person” transfer.

Generally, this is how it works:

When an offer is accepted, the buyer and seller must open an escrow account before the application for transfer is filed with the ABC. The escrow company will file a notice of intended transfer with the office of the county recorder for the county where the licensed establishment is located.  Next, the buyer and seller will fill out the transfer application form with the information of the seller and the buyer and all of the required business information regarding the business entity requesting the liquor license transfer.

Immediately after filing an application, a public notice of application for ownership change must be posted on the premises for 30 days. The escrow company will also publish a notice of the application in a newspaper of general circulation in the area in which the business is located.

If all goes well until the posting period ends, at this point, the buyer must deposit the remaining balance of the purchase price with the escrow holder and close escrow.  The escrow company forwards an ABC form to the local ABC district office to declare that purchase consideration and contingencies have all been completed. When the license is transferred, the ABC returns the counter-signed form to the escrow agent as a signal that the consideration in the escrow can be released to the seller.

This transfer procedure takes at least 60 days and each process may vary depending on both parties’ situations.

Coffee, Tea,Smoothie & Specialty Drinks Franchise Asking: $149,000 * Gross: $225,000 * Net: $60,000

A neighborhood favorite in this South Bay beach community known for its delightful choices of tea, coffee, juice slush, sandwiches and baked goods, not to mention the friendly staff, clean and warm environment and the Free WI-FI service!!

Locals love going to this place and end up staying for a while.

Unlike other franchises that charge a percentage of the sales, this franchise opportunity only charges a flat monthly fee which leaves the owner more profit to take home. And more flexibility on their menu.

Situated in a shopping center with little major competition in the area. There are no Starbucks,Jamba Juice or the likes nearby which makes this a local hub for coffe and beverage-loving customers.

Owner-absentee business.

High visibility. Along a major thoroughfare that leads to the freeway exit. Surrounded by expensive homes. Only a few miles from the beach.
