EATS Broker Seller FAQ

Q: How much does it cost to hire a restaurant broker in Texas?

EATS Broker charges zero upfront fees, zero listing fees, and zero marketing fees. You only pay a commission at closing when your restaurant is successfully sold. This eliminates the financial risk of hiring a restaurant broker in Texas, Georgia, or any other state we serve.

Q: How long does it take to sell a restaurant in Texas?

On average, selling a restaurant in Texas takes 6 to 8 months from listing to closing. The timeline varies based on the asking price, lease terms, franchise approval requirements, and buyer financing. EATS Broker’s 7-phase selling process is designed to move transactions efficiently while protecting seller confidentiality.

Q: Do I need a restaurant broker to sell my restaurant in Texas?

While you can attempt to sell your restaurant independently, a restaurant broker provides buyer networks, pre-qualification screening, financial analysis, lease negotiation support, and confidentiality management that most independent restaurant owners cannot replicate. Dominique Maddox, CBI, CFE has been selling restaurants since 2010 and holds dual credentials that are rare in the industry.

Q: What is my restaurant worth in Texas?

Restaurant valuations in Texas are typically calculated using a multiple of Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA, adjusted for lease terms, equipment condition, location, and brand strength.

EATS Broker provides a complimentary restaurant valuation — contact us at 404-993-4448 or [email protected] to get started.

Yes. EATS Broker specializes in franchise resales across Texas and 15 other states, including brands such as Papa John’s, Firehouse Subs, Marco’s Pizza, Jimmy John’s, and Schlotzsky’s, Smoothie King, and others. Dominique Maddox holds the Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) designation from the International Franchise Association, one of the only restaurant brokers in the nation with this credential.
