At Restaurant Realty, restaurants aren’t one part of what we do.

They’re all we do.

Our team focuses exclusively on helping restaurant and food-service business owners buy and sell businesses throughout California. That specialization matters.

The majority of our staff have either owned and/or managed restaurants themselves. We understand the realities behind the numbers: food and labor costs, leases, staffing, equipment, licensing, cash flow, and the day-to-day demands of operating a successful restaurant.

That operator experience allows us to understand a business from the inside out, position it properly for sale, and help buyers evaluate opportunities with greater insight.

Restaurants are our niche. Restaurant transactions are our expertise.

Whether you’re considering selling your restaurant or looking for your next opportunity, work with a team that knows the business because we’ve been in the business.

Acclaimed Restaurateur Adriano Paganini Makes Rare, First Podcast Appearance on The Restaurant Dealmaker Show

Adriano Paganini, one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most accomplished restaurateurs and the founder and CEO of Back of the House, makes his first-ever podcast appearance on an upcoming episode of The Restaurant Dealmaker Show, hosted by restaurant industry veteran and Restaurant Realty Company founder Steve Zimmerman.

Paganini, the founder and CEO of Back of the House, rarely participates in long-form interviews, making the episode an unusual opportunity to hear directly from the entrepreneur behind some of the Bay Area’s most recognizable and successful restaurant concepts.

In the candid, wide-ranging conversation, Paganini discusses the strategy, discipline and instincts required to create restaurants that resonate with their communities and remain relevant in a constantly changing marketplace. He also shares his perspective on identifying promising opportunities, developing distinctive brands, expanding without sacrificing quality and building a hospitality company positioned for long-term success.

SELLER: Steve, I’ve built this restaurant into a million-dollar business. I’m interested in selling, but I don’t want my employees, customers, vendors or competitors knowing.

STEVE ZIMMERMAN: That’s exactly why confidentiality is central to our process. At Restaurant Realty Company, we carefully control how the business is marketed, qualify prospective buyers, and require confidentiality agreements before sensitive information is released.

SELLER: So you’re not just putting my restaurant online and hoping someone calls?

STEVE: Absolutely not. We guide you through valuation, confidential marketing, buyer screening, negotiations and due diligence, all the way through closing. Our goal is to protect your business while getting you to the right buyer and the right transaction.

SELLER: That’s the kind of process I’m looking for.

STEVE: You spent years building the business. We take seriously the responsibility of helping you sell it.

We didn't know today was Int'l friendship day. At Restaurant Realty, all our agents and brokers consider our sellers friends and our buyers in the friendship circle of trust (Cue, Robert Di Nero ) as long as they complete a NDA and honor confidentiality of our listings.

Restaurant and bar businesses are thriving, striving or surviving. After 30 years in business, we still love this amazing industry. All our agents and brokers are former owners, managers and operators. We know the pains. But we know the love too! Long before getting the amazing visuals from the hit show THE BEAR (Heard!).

If you're looking to sell in the State of California, we've got you.

Restaurant Realty Company Review 🎉

If Michelin inspectors were to turn their attention from restaurants to restaurant brokers, Restaurant Realty Company would merit a very serious reservation.

Work Ethic: Meticulously prepared, expertly executed and never rushed. Every transaction is handled with the discipline of a world-class kitchen during Saturday-night service.

Customer Service: Attentive without hovering, responsive without theatrics and always ready with the right solution before the client has to ask.

Industry Knowledge: Deep, layered and developed over decades. Their understanding of restaurant sales, valuations, negotiations and real estate has the complexity of a beautifully reduced sauce.

Reputation: Consistent, respected and exceptionally difficult to replicate. In an industry where many promise the prix fixe and deliver fast food, Restaurant Realty Company serves the full experience.

Presentation: Professional, polished and refreshingly free of unnecessary garnish.

The Critic’s Verdict:
A seasoned team operating at the highest level, with integrity as the principal ingredient and results always on the menu.

⭐⭐⭐ Three stars: Worth making a special journey
