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.
