Restaurant valuation

What is your restaurant
actually worth?

Restaurants don’t sell on revenue — they sell on what the owner takes home, multiplied by how easy the business is to hand over. Your lease and your rent do more damage or more good than anything on the menu. This weighs all of it in about two minutes.

Tell me about the place

I don’t need the name of your restaurant. The area is enough to price it, and nothing you enter here identifies the business to anyone. I never contact landlords, staff, franchisors or suppliers.

Please choose the closest area.

Please choose the type.

Please choose how long it has traded.

Only if you want a sharper read. A cross-street tells me the trade area; it does not tell me which unit you are.

The two numbers that set the price

Everything else is an adjustment on top of these. Round figures are fine — nobody is holding you to them.

Please enter your annual sales.

Your take means everything the business pays you in a year: wages, dividends, the vehicle, the phone, anything personal run through the books. Buyers call this seller’s discretionary earnings, and it is what they actually buy.

Please enter your monthly rent.

0%6%8%10%15%+

Rent as a share of sales is the first thing a buyer checks. Enter both numbers and I’ll show you where you sit.

6 years
0351015+

Six years is comfortable. A buyer can finance it and a landlord conversation is straightforward.

Please choose one.

Please choose one.

The things buyers pay extra for

Small on the surface, large in the price. A drive-thru or a transferable liquor licence can move the number more than a year of sales growth.

Please choose the condition.

Where should I send it?

Your report comes to you and nobody else. I do not call your landlord, your staff, your franchisor or your suppliers, and I never list a business without a signed agreement from you first.

Please enter your name.

Please enter a valid email address.

Please enter a phone number.

Confidential. No cost, no obligation.
Your details are never sold, shared or used to contact anyone but you.

Where I’d list it

Comparable restaurants sell for about 85% of asking. Price to that, not to hope.

How the number is built

Your owner earnings, multiplied by what buyers pay for a business like yours — then adjusted line by line.

What the market pays

Sold vs asking

What a buyer will ask for

  • Three years of financials — statements and tax returns, not just POS reports.
  • The lease, with the assignment clause and every option in writing.
  • Proof of your add-backs. Lenders reject the ones you cannot document, and that is the single biggest reason deals reprice.
  • Equipment list showing what is owned outright and what is leased or financed.
  • Licences — AGCO, food premises, patio, and whether each one transfers.
  • WSIB, HST and payroll accounts in good standing.

Want the number a buyer
would actually sign?

Send me three years of financials and your lease and I will price it properly — normalised earnings, real comparables, a defensible asking price and a confidential marketing plan that never tips off your staff or your landlord.

This is an indicative range, not a valuation. It is built from reported multiples for comparable restaurant sales and from what you told me — not from your financial statements, your lease, or an inspection of the premises. Real sale prices for restaurants routinely land 30% either side of an estimate like this one. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a price. Jatin Dua — Broker, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

Free Valuation

Know what your restaurant is worth

Two restaurants doing the same sales can be worth six figures apart. The difference is owner earnings, rent as a share of sales, how many years of lease term a buyer inherits, and whether a liquor licence, a patio or a commercial hood comes with it. This prices your business the way a buyer will — privately, and without you naming it.
