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.
