What buyers check in diligence
Every buyer asks for three years of financials first. For restaurant or food businesses, expect questions about:
Food and labor cost as a share of sales
Lease term, rent and any transfer clauses
Health inspections, liquor license and permits
Sales by channel across dine-in, takeout, delivery and catering
Multiples are Baton's weighted national averages for restaurants & food businesses. Your multiple depends on size, growth, customer concentration and how much the business depends on you.
