How are restaurants in San Diego 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.

Based on our most recent analysis of San Diego restaurant business listings, revenue multiples range from 0.25 to 0.65, with the median at 0.41. Earnings multiples range from 1.63 to 2.31, with the median at 2.00. This means restaurants in San Diego are valued, on average, around 0.41 times annual revenue, and 2 times annual owner earnings.
