Buying a restaurant in Queensland

Restaurant buyers should look beyond the fit-out and menu. The strength of the business depends on the numbers, lease, staff, customer demand and whether the concept can continue under new ownership.

Key factors include:

  • Revenue and profit history
  • Lease terms and rent percentage
  • Kitchen and equipment condition
  • Staff and chef dependence
  • Liquor licence, if applicable
  • Supplier arrangements
  • Online reviews and reputation
  • Seating capacity and trading hours
  • Opportunity for events, catering or delivery

Our Buy a Business page explains how we support buyers when assessing a business.

Selling a restaurant

If you own a restaurant, buyers will want to understand profitability, systems, staff, lease terms and whether the venue can continue without the current owner.

Before selling, prepare:

  • Financial statements
  • Lease documents
  • Equipment list
  • Staff overview
  • Licences and approvals
  • Supplier list
  • Menu and gross margin information
  • Marketing channels and review profile

A professional broker can help protect confidentiality and present the restaurant to qualified buyers. Visit Sell Your Business for more information.

Restaurant business valuation

Restaurant value is usually driven by maintainable earnings, lease security, location, fit-out quality, staffing, reputation, risk and buyer demand.
