Statistically speaking, if you own a restaurant, you’re probably going out of business soon.
80% of restaurants fail within the first five years, making restaurant closures a fundamental part of being a restaurant owner. It’s not pleasant, but for most, it’s inevitable, which is why it blows our mind that more people don’t have a plan in place for when that happens.
Preparing an exit strategy in this industry doesn’t make you a pessimist, it makes you a smart business owner.
When restaurants fail, operators without a game plan lose money by paying companies to remove their equipment, store it, and sell it. When a landlord is hollering at you to sign papers and complete several other tasks to get you and your business out of the building, are you prepared to deal with removal of your furniture, fixtures, and equipment? Where do you put it after that?
