This is, by far, one of the best hospitality businesses worthy of investigation by either those experienced or not experienced in the sector, for 3 important reasons:
1. The business owner is not involved in day-to-day operations. It has been operated by management for many years.
2. Historical financial track record, even through Covid, has been exceptional.
3. Recent improvements and updates internally, along with a significant community project, have this business well-positioned for the future and the growth it will experience in the years to come. Let's talk so you can get a hands-on appreciation for what is to come your way.
All books and records are well-kept and up to date. There may be an opportunity for increased efficiencies with a more hands-on approach, which would include cash management, food and labour controls, etc. If you're looking for a stable and secure cash flow with some wind in your sails, this is it. Let's determine together if you're qualified to reap the rewards of this well-positioned operation.

** Seller's Discretionary Earnings (“SDE”) is a calculation of the total financial benefit that a single full time owner-operator would derive from a business on an annual basis. SDE is the pretax and pre-interest profits, before non-cash expenses, owner's benefits, one time investments, and any non-related income or expenses. SDE may require that expenses be adjusted if a new owner (Purchaser) will necessarily need to take on a new expense. SDE is also referred to as Adjusted Cash Flow, Total Owner's Benefit, Seller's Discretionary Cash Flow, or Recast Earnings.
