Established Columbus-Area Full-Service Restaurant | $459K SDE on

This is a rare restaurant opportunity: a profitable, well-run restaurant whose earnings are verified on its tax return rather than promised in a forecast. It is located in the Columbus area, in a strong residential trade area with steady daytime office traffic.

The restaurant has built a loyal following for consistent food quality and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, serving more than 30,000 guests in 2025. The menu is a focused, chef-driven concept built around a set of signature dishes.

Facility. The leased space seats 86: 50 in the dining room, 18 at the bar and counter, and 18 on the patio. Rent runs about $9,602 per month, just 6.8% of revenue.

Operations. The restaurant is open six days a week, closed Sundays, with a weekday lunch service and dinner service. A team of 19, including four chefs (three full-time), means the kitchen does not depend on any one person. A salaried manager handles day-to-day operations.

Three revenue channels. Revenue comes from the dining room (44.5%), third-party delivery (38.5%) and the restaurant's own takeout (9.0%). Delivery menu pricing has been set to offset most platform commissions, so delivery orders contribute strongly without needing front-of-house staff or dining room seats.

Disciplined costs. Food cost runs 30.4% of sales, below the typical range for its category, supported by two independent primary suppliers and no franchise royalties. Total labor is 21.8%, against a typical 28–33% for independent restaurants.

Ideal buyer. An owner-operator with restaurant experience, a hospitality group adding a proven location, or an investor who will keep the current manager and team in place.
