Rare opportunity to acquire a fully operating, turnkey fast-casual restaurant for only $150,000, despite more than $900,000 invested in the original buildout, commercial kitchen, equipment, infrastructure, and improvements.

The restaurant currently generates approximately $550,000 in annual gross sales and is operated completely absentee, with the owner having no day-to-day involvement in the business.

Under its current absentee operating structure, the restaurant operates approximately at break-even. This creates a meaningful opportunity for a hands-on owner-operator who can reduce management and labor costs, improve operating efficiencies, and actively grow sales.

One of the strongest features of this opportunity is the flexibility available to the next owner. The current franchise agreement has completed its term, allowing a buyer to:

Convert the location to an independent restaurant concept
Introduce another restaurant or franchise brand
Pursue renewal with the existing franchise brand

The buyer receives the benefit of a fully developed, operating restaurant without being locked into the current concept.

Owner-Operator Opportunity

The current business has been structured for fully absentee ownership, resulting in substantial management and labor expense.

A hands-on owner-operator may be able to materially improve profitability through:

Replacing or reducing certain management and operating labor
Improved labor scheduling
Food-cost optimization
Increased local marketing
Catering and corporate accounts
Expanded delivery and online ordering
Promotions to nearby residents and businesses
Increased beer and wine sales
More active day-to-day management
Introduction of a new or differentiated restaurant concept

The location, customer base, equipment, infrastructure, and operating systems are already in place. The next owner can focus on improving operations and growing revenue rather than spending significant capital developing a restaurant from the ground up.
