Berlin

A well-established, long-standing Berlin restaurant with a strong focus on group travel

A restaurant business in Berlin, established in 1968, is for sale and is to be transferred to a new operator as part of a succession plan due to the owner’s retirement. This is not a restaurant concept that needs to be built from the ground up, but rather a fully equipped and operating business with well-established structures, well-oiled processes, and an experienced team of employees. Of particular note is the business with national and international tour groups, which has been developed over many years. The business collaborates with established tour operators and also has a loyal customer base that has grown over many years. This means the buyer is not merely taking over the premises and inventory, but also existing business relationships and a restaurant business that is well-established in the Berlin market. The complete business equipment is included in the sale. This includes, among other things, high-quality restaurant furnishings, professional kitchen and refrigeration equipment, storage equipment, bar and dispensing systems, coffee and beverage equipment, as well as a wide range of other operational inventory. Another significant advantage is the existing lease agreement. The current net base rent amounts to approximately €3,700 per month . In consultation with the property owner, the goal is to create a long-term and economically viable rental arrangement for the future operator. Upon request, the current operator will be personally available to the buyer for up to six months to facilitate a structured handover and training . This will ensure that existing business processes, employee structures, regular customers, and contacts with tour operators can be transferred as smoothly as possible. The purchase price is €350,000, subject to negotiation , and includes all business equipment as well as the takeover of the ongoing restaurant operations. Key features at a glance: • A restaurant business established in Berlin since 1968 • An ongoing and fully equipped operation • An established business with international tour groups • Long-standing regular clientele and well-established business relationships • Experienced and well-trained staff • Extensive professional restaurant and kitchen equipment • Attractive rent structure • Personal handover support from the current operator • Purchase price: €350,000 (negotiable) For confidentiality reasons, detailed business information and additional documents will be made available exclusively to qualified prospective buyers following a personal review and the signing of the necessary confidentiality and commission agreements.

Bavaria

An established, year-round profitable restaurant business catering to day-trippers in Bavaria

Established tourism restaurant in Bavaria: year-round operation, demand secured through multiple channels * Tourist restaurant in one of Bavaria’s most popular vacation regions * Goodwill acquisition of an established, profitably managed business * Annual revenue in the high six-figure range * Excellent transportation connections (train/bus) Four-season concept instead of dependence on a single season The true value of this business lies in its independence from a single season or the weather—an advantage that most excursion restaurants cannot offer in this form. * Summer: consistent day-trip traffic from the Greater Munich area * Winter: two nearby ski resorts with guaranteed snow ensure additional foot traffic * The lake itself, just a few minutes’ walk away, becomes a destination in its own right when the weather is cold * A regionally renowned museum nearby ensures additional foot traffic regardless of the weather The result: a sustainable demand base year-round instead of a short peak season—a structural unique selling point that ensures predictability and stable returns. One of the most well-known excursion regions in Bavaria The region is among the most established tourist destinations: * A well-developed skiing and winter sports region with several ski lifts, cross-country trails, and toboggan runs * A summer destination for swimming and hiking vacations by the lake and in the mountains * A wide variety of other recreational activities (water sports, bike trails, mountain railways, cultural and culinary experiences) * Heavy day-trip traffic from the Munich metropolitan area * Known as the filming location for the TV series “Die Landarztpraxis” (Sat.1) and “Frühling” (ZDF), providing additional name recognition The location benefits from being a stable, nationally recognized destination, not from an isolated setting. Listings for established restaurants in this sought-after region rarely come onto the market. Location Quality Several established dining and recreational options in the neighborhood give the region a distinctive character and generate additional foot traffic. Easily accessible even without a car: a train station and bus stop are located in the immediate vicinity. Digital visibility as a transferable asset A significantly above-average online reputation with many positive reviews, as well as an active social media presence under the business name with noticeable reach—an asset that is easily transferable and does not need to be built from scratch. Figures and Substance * Annual revenue: high six-figure range * Consistently profitable operations * Well-established team: approximately 10 permanent employees plus seasonal staff Transaction Structure The goodwill is being sold. The real estate and inventory remain the property of the lessor and are transferred along with the existing lease agreement. The lessor has already agreed in principle to a succession. No real estate capital, no start-up investment, immediate operational launch. Ideal Successor We are seeking a successor with proven leadership experience in the restaurant industry or business management who is able and willing to maintain the existing quality standards. Discreet Process Out of consideration for the team, guests, and suppliers, this process is being conducted discreetly. The location, business name, and detailed documentation will only be disclosed after initial contact and the signing of a confidentiality agreement.

Buying a company vs. buying a firm

Buying a company means acquiring an independent organizational unit that regularly carries out an economic activity. A company can consist of one or several business operations. An individual can also found such an independent unit if they regularly carry out an economic activity — in that case it is called a sole proprietorship. As a rule, sole proprietors don't have to register in the commercial register; without that registration, they don't legally count as a "firm." A trade name, colloquially a "firm," is the name under which a company or sole proprietor appears publicly and conducts its business. Buying "a firm" therefore technically means acquiring the company's name or trading name. In everyday use, though, it's used interchangeably with buying a company — i.e. acquiring the entire business.
