The semi-retired owners have lovingly operated this restaurant for many years and are now facing health-related challenges. While they no longer need to work financially, they value staying active and engaged. They are happy to provide part-time support during the transition to help ensure a smooth handover and preserve customer goodwill. However, their continued involvement is entirely optional, and the new owner will have complete freedom to shape the business in their own vision.
