Casual Italian Family Restaurant
An Italian family restaurant in Mobile that more than doubled revenue last year, running at 28% EBITDA margins with dine-in, takeout and catering.
Business Highlights
- Revenue more than doubled year over year
- 28% EBITDA margin, well above typical restaurant margins
- Catering and private events alongside dine-in and takeout
- Leased premises, so no real estate is needed to buy in
Considerations / Questions to Ask
- The business is young and the growth is recent. There is little history to show how it holds.
- The chef-owner is the draw. What happens to the food and the regulars after a short transition?
- What are the lease terms and the remaining length?
- The seller's revenue projection for next year is a forecast. Ask what it assumes.
- How much of revenue is catering, and is any of it recurring?
Opportunities
- A 28% margin gives room to hire a manager and still clear a real income
- Catering scales without adding dining room seats
- Growth this fast suggests unmet local demand for the concept
- A clean exit means the seller is not asking for a complicated structure
