Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to buy a restaurant?

Asking prices range widely — from under $50,000 for a small café or asset sale to several million for an established, high-revenue restaurant with real estate. Price depends on location, revenue, cash flow (SDE), lease terms, and whether real estate is included.

What's included when you buy a restaurant?

Most turnkey sales include kitchen equipment, furniture, fixtures, the existing build-out, and transferable permits or licenses. Some also include the brand, recipes, social accounts, and staff. Always confirm exactly what conveys and whether real estate is part of the deal.

Should I buy a restaurant or build one from scratch?

Buying an existing restaurant is usually faster and lower-risk: the build-out, hood system, and permits are already in place, and an established location may generate revenue from day one. Building from scratch offers full control but costs more time and capital.

Can I buy a restaurant confidentially?

Yes. Many owners list confidentially to protect staff and customer relationships. On ListingLedge you can browse confidential listings and contact the seller or broker directly — sensitive details are shared after you inquire.
