Common Questions

Selling a Coffee Shop / Cafe: What Owners Ask

How is a coffee shop valued?
Coffee shops typically sell for 1.8× to 2.8× SDE. Location and lease quality are the dominant value drivers — a high-traffic corner with years remaining on the lease can push a modest earner to a strong multiple.
What revenue data do buyers want to see?
Daily transaction count, average ticket size, and monthly gross revenue from the POS system. Buyers also look at peak hour concentration — a business that earns most of its revenue in a two-hour morning window carries more risk than one with consistent all-day traffic.
Are coffee shop employees likely to stay after a sale?
Most barista-level staff will transition with a new owner, especially if the owner communicates clearly and early. The critical retention question is the manager or head barista — if one person knows the recipes and relationships, that's a transition risk buyers will price.
