Always dreamed of Opening a Restaurant? 🤔 Here’s Why Buying an Existing Restaurant Might Be the Smarter Move! 🍽️ As a Certified Restaurant Broker with We Sell Restaurants, I often advise clients to consider buying an existing restaurant instead of starting from scratch. Here is a few key points why: ⏳ Time is Everything Leasing a raw space and building from scratch might sound exciting, but the reality is that delays are almost inevitable—whether from construction setbacks, permitting holdups, or unforeseen zoning issues. It could take anywhere from 9 to 24 months to get a new restaurant up and running. Those delays mean lost revenue, unexpected costs, and added stress. ✅ Money saving and Goodwill - Advantages of Buying an Existing Restaurant Ready to go: The space is typically equipped with all the infrastructure you need (kitchen equipment, plumbing, HVAC, etc.) and can often be up and running with minimal modifications. Cost savings: Existing spaces usually come with built-in permits, established customer bases, and proven traffic, meaning you can reduce your initial investment and open your doors faster. Quicker ROI: With an established foundation, you’re able to start generating income immediately rather than waiting months to launch.

Do you own textiles that need to be Reclaimed? One of the specialties at Drop and Dash Laundry is reclaiming your customer owned goods (COG). One business we recently reclaimed satin chair covers for was Pierre’s Banquets. According to Joe J “aka Pepe Pepillo,” of Pierre’s Banquets, “quinceañera’s make up about 1/3 of the business we do, it’s our specialty.” A quinceañera is a celebration of a girl's 15th birthday, which is common in Latin American cultures. Also, according to Joe, “99% of the time, the chair cover option is chosen in the quinceañera package.” Chair covers just aren’t being offered by rental companies. Another gripe Joe has, “half the time they send out square tablecloths that don’t fit our round tables, or tablecloths that have stains or holes. Mechanization in the rental world allows those companies to increase production efficiency (not lower the price), but drastically lowers the quality of the linens.” Pierre’s Banquets has begun a transformation, phasing out part of their rental program into a COG program for certain line items (tablecloths) and having their owned chair covers reclaimed or laundered by Drop and Dash Laundry Service. Do you / your company own goods that need to be reclaimed? Are there textiles in your rental program where price / quality has gone awry? Even if you're in a rental contract, that doesn't mean you can't shift some of the textiles away from that, such as tablecloths, linen napkins, aprons, chef coats, and towels (and still meet the minimum requirements of the contract). "Old school" linen rental companies usually do not (or cannot) offer competitive pricing on the above-mentioned items because of all the ancillary / phantom charges showing up on the invoice over time (bait and switch business model). Contact me to have a chat concerning reclaim, shifting a line item away from your rental program, or any other COG laundry needs at esterling@laundrygrowthpartners.com, or send me a DM on LinkedIn.

As a restaurant leasing broker, it’s crucial to understand the importance of utilities from the very first walk-through of a potential space. Utilities are the lifeline of any restaurant, and ensuring they meet the business’s needs is essential for smooth operations. From the initial inspection, brokers should verify the adequacy of utility capacity, including electrical, gas, and water, to support kitchen appliances, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. It’s also vital to clarify who is responsible for the installation and maintenance of utility meters, as this can vary based on lease agreements. Confirm whether the landlord or tenant will handle meter upgrades and regular maintenance to prevent unexpected costs. Additionally, the lease should clearly outline how utility costs are managed. Whether utilities are included in the rent or billed separately, clear terms can prevent disputes. If the existing utility infrastructure needs upgrading to meet health and safety regulations or to support high-capacity equipment, it’s essential to negotiate who will bear these costs. Regular inspections and maintenance of utility systems should also be addressed in the lease to prevent potential issues and downtime. By paying close attention to these utility considerations from the outset, brokers can help clients avoid operational hiccups and financial surprises, setting the foundation for a successful restaurant venture. Leverage this knowledge to make informed decisions and set your restaurant up for success in the vibrant NYC market! #RestaurantLeasing #CommercialLeasing #Utilities #LeaseTerms #TenantRepresentation #LeasingStrategy #UtilityCapacity #MeterInstallation #BusinessSuccess #FoodAndBeverage #LeaseNegotiation #OperationalEfficiency

🚨 Why Restaurants for Lease Might Be the Best Option for You! 🍽️ Leasing a restaurant space comes with many benefits, especially for new owners or those looking to minimize initial expenses. Here’s why: 📌 Less Upfront Capital 💰 : Leasing allows you to avoid putting all your capital into purchasing a business. This gives you more money to invest in upgrades, décor, and marketing to attract customers. 📌 Second-Generation Spaces 🍽️ : Many restaurants for lease are second-generation, meaning they’ve been dining establishments before. This saves you from the cost of installing kitchen equipment and often comes with furniture like tables and chairs already in place. 📌 Easier for First-Time Owners 💡: For those new to the restaurant business or those not well-known in the area, leasing can help reduce the financial risk. First-time owners can focus on building their brand without committing to a large upfront purchase. 📌 Code Compliance ✅: If the space wasn’t previously a restaurant, it’s important to verify it can be converted into one. You’ll need to bring in code enforcement officers, health inspectors, and fire marshals to ensure it meets necessary standards. Want to learn more?

URBAN Dilemmas! The #RestauantIndustry, so integral to metros like #NYC, credits #outdoordining”, for the most part, for its survival during & after the pandemic shutdown. While many restaurants had already been suffering from high rents & other factors, over 4,500 in NYC, were forced to close due to Covid, but for others, a loosely regulated plan gave owners the opportunity to erect sheds to offset indoor dining restrictions, often doubling their businesses. All this is about to end starting on #August3rd! That’s the deadline for restaurants to either apply for the city’s new outdoor dining program or take down their roadway dining structures, which occupy parking spaces or other parts of the street. How many more challenges can this & other vital industries endure? https://lnkd.in/eJePFudd #BusinessChallenges #Restaurants
