Semi Absentee Italian Restaurant with a Sold Out

Description

This family owned Italian restaurant has spent about eleven years building a loyal local following by making its food from scratch. The menu covers homemade Italian classics served at lunch, happy hour, and dinner. Guests can dine in, order takeout, use delivery, or book catering. The space runs about 4,000 square feet with two kitchens and a full bar.The bar has become a draw of its own, with regular crowds and Thursday nights that often sell out.About forty five people keep the place running. The executive chef, general manager, and bar manager have been in place for years and handle daily operations. The owner works around ten hours a week doing general oversight.The restaurant sits in a fast growing suburban market with new homes and businesses arriving each year. Profits have been soft, matching the industry, so there is room for an operator who pushes catering, delivery, and private events. The owner is selling for health reasons.The ideal buyer is an experienced restaurant opera
