FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Gross Revenue: $445,000+ annualized (Jan–May 2026 net sales)
Adjusted SDE: $81,146
Asking Price: $249,000
Food Cost: 24.6% (well below typical 28–35% industry range)
May 2026 was the best revenue month in business history.
Delivery platform fees confirmed at 14% of sales from actual platform statements.

WHAT MAKES THIS DEAL DIFFERENT
- Below market lease: approx. $4,200/month all-in for TWO floors. Comparable downtown space is typically $6,000–$7,000/month. Four years remaining on lease – this is the single greatest structural advantage in the deal.
- Toast Capital loan fully paid off – buyer receives 100% of daily card settlements from day one, with no loan drag on cash flow.
- Distributor balance (~$13,000) will be cleared by seller at closing – buyer inherits clean vendor relationships with zero outstanding trade debt.
- Third floor contains a fully equipped ghost kitchen currently generating modest daily revenue through a Korean fried chicken concept with zero marketing. All equipment is included in the asking price. This is a clear growth lever – a focused virtual brand launch targeting $200–$400/day in additional sales within 6–12 months is realistic with no additional buildout cost.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
- Reduce delivery platform dependency (currently ~42% of sales via third party). Shifting just 10% of sales to direct ordering is projected to save roughly $500–$700/month directly to NOI. Delivery mix is already improving – platform fees dropped to $3,199 in May (record revenue month) vs. $5,009/month Jan–Apr average, indicating growing dine-in and direct takeout conversion.
- Fully activate the 3rd floor ghost kitchen for additional virtual brands and/or catering – equipment is in place, no additional investment required.
- Hotel key card partnership in development – QR code referral channel targeting nearby hotel guests at essentially no added marketing cost.
- USPAACC minority business certification in place – opens institutional catering and vendor diversity opportunities with CMU, Pitt, Duquesne, Point Park, and corporate partners.

OPERATIONS
Experienced on-site manager handles all daily operations, including scheduling, ordering, and staff management. Core kitchen crew is long tenured and expected to remain post sale. The business has been successfully operated with the owner living out of state, demonstrating that systems and staffing are already in place. Seller will provide up to 30 days of transition support if needed.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
All kitchen equipment, furniture, fixtures, smallwares, Toast POS system, inventory at closing, goodwill, and established delivery platform accounts (DoorDash, UberEats, Grubhub) with strong existing ratings, plus the fully equipped 3rd floor ghost kitchen setup.

DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE
