How to use this calculator

Enter annual revenue, annual net profit, valuation multiples, and growth rate. The calculator estimates valuation using both revenue and profit methods.

What the result means

A stronger restaurant valuation usually comes from stable profit, clean financials, growth, low owner dependency, and transferable operations.

Revenue Value = Annual Revenue × Revenue Multiple. Profit Value = Annual Profit × Profit Multiple. Estimated Value = Average of both methods.

Actual sale price depends on buyer demand, lease terms, owner involvement, location, assets, and quality of financial records.

Example calculation

With $850,000 revenue at 0.45x and $95,000 profit at 3x, revenue value is $382,500 and profit value is $285,000.

Tips for better results

  • Improve documented profit before selling.
  • Reduce owner dependency to increase buyer confidence.
  • Keep clean financials and transferable systems.

FAQ

How much is my restaurant worth?

How do buyers value restaurants?

Buyers review revenue, seller discretionary earnings, profit stability, lease terms, equipment, staff, and growth potential.

What multiple do restaurants sell for?

Restaurant multiples vary widely by concept, profitability, location, and risk, so valuation ranges are more useful than one number.

How do I increase restaurant valuation?

Improve profit, reduce risk, document systems, strengthen staff, and show consistent sales growth.
