Buyer Representation
Restaurant Buyer Representation in Texas
Buyer Representation Program helps Texas restaurant buyers
Buying a restaurant is one of the largest financial decisions you will make. The seller has a broker working for them. You should have one working for you.
At EATS Broker, our Buyer Representation Program gives serious buyers a dedicated restaurant broker who works only for the buyer’s interests, from your first search through closing.
Why Buyers Need Their Own Restaurant Broker
The listing broker is paid by the seller and is obligated to get the seller the best deal. Without your own representative, you are negotiating against a professional with no one in your corner. Restaurants also carry risks that most other businesses do not, including:
• Owner add-backs and seller’s discretionary earnings that can be overstated
• Lease terms, assignment rules, and personal guarantees
• Equipment condition, liquor licenses, and permits
• SBA financing requirements and lender scrutiny
• Franchise transfer approvals
A restaurant-only broker knows which numbers to challenge, which questions to ask, and how deals fall apart.
What Your Buyer Representation Includes
- Acquisition strategy: We define your budget, concept, location, and financing target so your search is focused.
- Access to opportunities: We match you with listings across Dallas/DFW, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and beyond, including off-market opportunities.
- Financial review: We review P&Ls, tax returns, and add-backs to test whether the earnings are real.
- Lease and landlord guidance: We review lease terms and the assignment process before you commit.
- Offer and negotiation: We prepare your offer and negotiate price and terms on your behalf.
- Due diligence coordination: We coordinate with lenders, attorneys, accountants, and landlords through closing.
- Six months of dedicated support: You have one broker committed to your search for the full engagement.
How Our Buyer Retainer Works
Serious representation takes real time and expertise. That is why EATS Broker asks buyers to pay an upfront retainer for a six-month engagement. The retainer ensures we commit our time and resources to you, and that you are working with a broker whose loyalty is undivided.
If the purchase is a listing where a selling broker pays EATS Broker a commission, we credit half of that commission back to you. You are paying for advocacy, not paying twice.
