Strong Potential to Improve Profitability with Owner-Operated Structure

This is a Korean casual restaurant located in the West LA County area, situated in a stable shopping center with consistent foot traffic.

The business is currently operating under a Korean street food concept. A buyer may choose to:

Acquire the business and continue operating under the existing concept after receiving training, or

Purchase the business as an Asset Sale and rebrand with a new menu and restaurant concept of their choice.

2. Key Highlights – Significant Upside with Owner Involvement

According to the seller, the business is currently operated without direct owner involvement and is primarily employee-run. As a result:

Labor costs are relatively high, and

Sales and profitability have declined compared to the period when the owner was more actively involved.

The seller emphasizes the following points:

If a husband-and-wife team or family members operate the business directly, unnecessary labor expenses can be significantly reduced.

With limited owner oversight, sales control and cost management have been handled mainly by employees, resulting in lower operational efficiency.

Direct owner involvement would allow better control over:

Food ordering and inventory usage

Food cost management

Staffing efficiency and scheduling

Overall, direct owner operation offers a clear opportunity to reduce labor costs, improve efficiency, and restore profitability.
