FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a restaurant in San Francisco?

How are restaurants in San Francisco valued?
Most business owners (and buyers) will start by applying earnings and revenue multiples to the businesses reported financials. This way buyers and sellers can gauge the value of a restaurant business relative to its peers in the market.

This means restaurants in San Francisco are valued, on average, around 0.27 times annual revenue, and 1.43 times annual owner earnings.
