SellingRestaurants
Serving San Francisco County, CA
Specializing in the sale and leasing of restaurants, bars and hospitality businesses throughout Northern California, I have been brokering restaurants and bars since 2008. My approach combines industry knowledge, hands-on representation and straightforward communication with a commitment to integrity, trust and results. Restaurants and bars are unique businesses. Successfully selling or acquiring one requires understanding much more than an asking price. Financial performance, lease terms, occupancy costs, equipment, liquor licensing, staffing, concept, location and technology can all affect the value and outcome of a transaction. I work closely with sellers to understand the business behind the numbers and properly position each opportunity for the market. With buyers, I focus on their experience, financial capabilities, concept and objectives to help determine whether an opportunity is the right fit. My connection to the restaurant industry goes beyond brokerage. I grew up around two family-owned restaurants, an oyster bar and a golf course restaurant, and have remained closely connected to the industry throughout my career. I also have extensive experience with restaurant and bar POS systems, merchant services, payment processing and restaurant technology, providing an additional operational perspective to my brokerage services. My philosophy is simple: communicate clearly, keep everyone informed, anticipate challenges and work toward solutions. I stay involved throughout the process, from valuation and marketing through negotiations, due diligence, escrow and closing. Whether you are considering selling, buying or leasing a restaurant or bar, or simply want to better understand your options, I welcome the opportunity to talk. Brokering Restaurants & Bars Since 2008. Experience. Integrity. Strategy. Results.
