Buying a Restaurant in Germany – Market & Opportunities

In the hospitality sector, taking over a restaurant offers a faster start than a new opening: location, a fitted-out kitchen, licences, staff and an established guest base already exist. For buyers, restaurants in good locations with stable revenue, a good reputation and a long-term lease are especially interesting. An established name and repeat guests are assets that are hard to build up.

Value drivers are location and lease, concept and utilisation, the condition of the kitchen fittings, and the licences held. On Deal One you will find restaurants and hospitality businesses from all over Germany – select your state below.

Frequently Asked Questions: Buying a Restaurant

What does a restaurant cost to buy?

The price depends on location, lease, size, fittings and earnings power. An earnings multiple plus the value of the kitchen fittings is common; a good location with a long-term lease is a major value driver.

What permits do I need?

Generally a hospitality licence or business registration, proof of food-hygiene compliance (including HACCP, staff training), and where relevant permits for outdoor seating. Licences are tied to the person and location and must be re-issued or transferred during the takeover.

What should I pay particular attention to?

The remaining term and conditions of the lease, the condition of the kitchen and ventilation, the traceability of revenue, and the retention of kitchen and service staff.
