How much does this place have to clear a year to make it worth $14MM?

Take out the $5-6m in land, divide by 2.5. $3.5-4m in discretionary during a good year? If they’re valuing reasonably?

But that’s 3.5mm in profit, not revenue. Assuming a high profit margin of 20% that would mean annual revenue close to 18mm or like $50k per day, that’s everyday, including the off season.

There's no way they're making that much in the off-season.

I don't understand how this price tag would ever be worth it.

Exactly. I know it’s a storied place with Anthony bourdain working there in all but they’re clearly looking for a stupid buyer

They are gonna knock it down and build condos with bottom floor retail probably. The land is worth a lot.

Nah, it’s gotta be revenue. $3.5m in profit per year is a price to earnings ratio of like 4. Reasonable pricing is closer to 20 generally.

There’s real estate and a business valuation involved. Do you think at 20x ebitda value is fair?

Restaurants are ebidta plus owner X 2-3.

Zero chance they do 20%. Probably single digits.

It is absolutely unreasonable to state this restaurant has the chance to make 3.5 million dollars in profit in a year.

The number of independent restaurants making that much profit in a year in the US is less than 5. That is unheard of.

Not enough to clean it properly according to my last visit. It's a dump.
