Restaurant for Sale Atlanta Downtown Southern Style or Soul Food Home Cooking

2008-06-06T11:01:00.000-07:00

Landmark Opportunity situated on an historic Atlanta corner in a vintage building. This business opportunity is surrounded by a strong community of office and commercial buildings with a population of office and professional workers numbering in the thousands. This Restaurant has been providing country cuisine to a downtown clientele for over 75 years.

The present concept is cafeteria style service of southern cooking. This concept works well in this location, however, the clientele and diversity of the neighborhood permits expansion and modification of the present concept. The restaurant kitchen is fully equipped with mostly new equipment. Serving areas are also amply supplied with first rate cold and hot wells. This rental space contains over 3500 Sq. Ft. At present it seats plus or minus 125 guests. This number can be easily expanded. Operations can be expanded to include additional hours and new concepts of menus. This space enjoys an excellent below market lease with utilities included. Owners will assist with the transition.

They will be moving on to develop a different concept. Although the restaurant does not now have a liquor license at this time, bar facilities are in place and could be revamped for the new owner. Traditionally this was a “watering hole” for many of Atlanta’s early 20th century movers and shakers. Being close to both City and State Government Centers provides unlimited opportunities to return this facility to its previous position as a meeting place for government and commercial clients. This is an unbeatable opportunity for a visionary restaurateur!

The Elephant in the Room

You’ve thought about it a long time. You’ve been doing this a long time. It’s time to get out. But…where do you start? Selling your business is no less traumatic than any other kind of divorce. It is emotional, stressful and scary. It takes time. It takes extra work. And it imparts a certain risk. The last thing you really want to do is to sell. You have put off even considering the possibility. Now you have to “bite the bullet.”

The reasons for selling your business are myriad. They may include: life changes; health issues, a divorce, aging, life style; economic issues; changing demographics, economic downturns, unmanageable competition; you’re just plain tired/burned out. The business itself is often the very engine that precipitates the need to sell.

Once you have finally made the decision, what’s next? Do you just put a sign in the window? Do you try to market your restaurant discretely among your acquaintances in the industry? Or, do you engage a professional who specializes in handling the unique aspects of marketing restaurants on a national level.

The single most important factor in realizing the maximum value from your restaurant/bar/club business is to keep the doors open. An open business versus a darkened one is 20 times more valuable to the purchaser. The value of an ongoing business is obvious and easily discernable to the client buyer. The paramount maxim in the sale of restaurants and of the food service facilities is to “KEEP THEM OPEN UNTIL THE SALE IS COMPLETE, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE”

Putting a sign in the window is one way to accelerate a declining trade. Depending on your colleagues to help is of small hope. The main reason is the lack of confidentiality. To preserve your staff, your clientele, the confidence of your suppliers it is always best for as few people as possible to know that you are interested in selling. Once the word gets out that you want to sell, your employees start looking for other jobs. Ones they know will be there. Whether true or not, your clients perceive a decline in quality and drift away. Your catering clients enter into contracts with other competitors. And your suppliers start scrutinizing what you order and how quickly they get paid. Sometimes they put an otherwise great client on COD, with or without good reason, just because of a rumor of an impending sale. If this sounds like an extreme overstatement then you do not understand the importance to your business of confidentiality surrounding a sale. Maintaining confidentiality helps maintain your ability to keep your business open until it has been successfully marketed.

On the street, your reasons for selling may be misinterpreted to the detriment of your gaining the most attractive sale price. The rumor mill has often destroyed a great business or brought a declining one down more quickly. Every restaurant has a value as a going business and every restaurant has a buyer. You want the conditions of sale and the advantages of your business over another presented by people whom you know and trust. A firm that has a vested interest in your realizing the most you can from the business you have built. You do not want them presented by strangers on the street. Engaging a competent, knowledgeable, “restaurant savvy”
broker can insure that your confidence is protected and your business is presented in the best possible light and as you wish for it to be presented.

Regardless of your reasons for selling, whether they are: personal, financial, or demographic; deciding to use a professional broker that specializes in the marketing and sale of food service facilities will insure that you realize the best price in the shortest possible time. In order to market restaurants effectively your broker must have a thorough knowledge of the restaurant business and understand the unique concerns of both seller and the buyer in every transaction. Before you close up, before you tell your friends, or before you put a “Restaurant for Sale” sign in the window call in a “specialist.” Call a “Professional Restaurant Broker.”

Economy, Restaurants and yard sales...

2008-04-29T10:28:00.000-07:00

Uncertain economic times and Restaurant garage sales.The drought, Gas prices, Immigration and food production = sharp increase in food prices. While prices continue to rise, gas is heading towards 4.00 per gallon, food costs are going through the roof!
Anyone who is in the business, or goes to the grocery store is aware of rapidly increasing prices. Why are restaurants not raising their prices? Simple. There is a “down and dirty” method of pricing a lunch menu called the “Big Mac” Theory. If that sandwich fries and a drink cost 6.00, many individual restaurant owners try to price their lunch menu around that price since the average person expects to spend that amount or less on their lunch.

The problem with any menu pricing is that it is very difficult to increase prices across the board on a menu. Customers WILL notice this, and many will complain, and threaten to not come back. This is mind boggling to the business owner. How do the “big guys’ do it? They do not raise prices, they “introduce new products” (heard about all of the new “smaller portion” menus?) This is not because people want smaller portions, these portions are amounts that we should be eating anyway! This is about re-structuring a menu so an item can be re-introduced with a higher profit margin. This technique works well when you have research and development and a great marketing staff. How many restaurant owners here in Atlanta have these tools available to them? How many restaurant owners have the time to restructure the successful menu that has served them well for so long?

In my restaurant in Charlotte NC, I changed the structure of offering side dishes. I dropped the price of the item 25 cents, with less expensive options (at the time that was a salad, before lettuce went thru the roof!) and you could add the sides for one dollar. Thus an average increase of 75 cents on the item. This is an average. Some people just got the main item with no sides, however they were happy with the “new” value. Others did choose the sides, because fries for 1.00 more was a lot less than other restaurants were charging. There was now a new perception of “value” rather than having to deal with explaining why I increased the price of everything by 75 cents or 1 dollar. Customers are happy, I am happy with a slight increase in the items profit margin, and we can remain in a state of “ business as usual”.

Many restaurant owners who are not able to reorganize their menu pricing are finding themselves at the end of the road. Some are selling their business, others are closing their business and selling their equipment at “restaurant garage sales”. Everyone knows that used equipment is worth pennies on the dollar.

Many people seek our advice, since an operating restaurant has a value. Once you darken the doors of a restaurant, the value is negligible. No matter how difficult, keep the doors open and we find someone with a new concept to bring life to the business the restaurant owner spent so much time and energy to create!

Most of Fred’s professional life has been involved in the analysis, financing and oversight of all types of small business concerns during his 35 years in the banking industry. He has been involved in the valuation and sale of hundreds of small concerns in the restaurant and other small business areas.

Doug Marranci, General Manager of Atlanta Restaurant Exchange has spent his entire life in the restaurant business. His parents before him were in the business, which is where he gained the huge store of knowledge he has of the industry. Doug has managed restaurants for others, mom and pop operations as well as those of major franchises. In addition he has owned several restaurants of his own. Doug has been involved in the sale of many restaurant properties as a representative of the seller and counselor to the purchaser.

Marranci’s vast experience in the food service industry makes him eminently qualified to advise others in the sale or purchase of any food service operation. He can match the buyer to a suitable property. At the same time he will expose a restaurant operation to a wide range of prequalified and likely prospects. This assures the client that his business will be presented fairly to the broadest number of serious purchasers possible.

It will be the mission of the company to assist the restaurant owner in finding a buyer for his business, with the goal of maximizing value (sales price) determined by a professional approach to analysis.
