Profitable Chinese Restaurant

This well-established sit-down Chinese restaurant has been a beloved part of the local community for more than 20 years, earning a strong reputation for consistent quality and smooth, straightforward operations. It has remained profitable under three different owners, making it an ideal opportunity for both experienced operators and first-time buyers looking for a reliable, turnkey business. The restaurant's ownership history reflects its stability: the original owner successfully operated it for about a decade, followed by a second owner who ran it profitably for eight and a half years. The current owners, a husband-and-wife team, took over in March 2024 and have continued the success without making operational changes. The wife works part-time as a waitress three and a half days per week, while the husband handles purchasing and logistics. They are now offering the business for sale due to a recent health concern. In their first year (March 2024 to February 2025), the business generated approximately $1.3 million in gross sales and achieved a seller's discretionary earnings (SDE) of $230,000, plus over $27,000 in additional tip income. Sales in the current year are trending higher, with projected net profits again exceeding $230,000. The restaurant features a welcoming full-service dining room with more than 60 seats and holds a beer and wine license. It offers takeout and delivery through its own website—accounting for roughly 9–10% of sales—as well as major delivery platforms, while also employing in-house delivery drivers to reduce third-party fees. Four experienced chefs staff the kitchen, and all equipment, including refrigeration and cooking appliances, is in good working condition. The business has never engaged in formal marketing, leaving significant untapped growth potential for a new owner with digital marketing expertise or the willingness to hire professionals. This profitable and well-run restaurant offers immediate cash flow, a loyal customer base, and a smooth transition for its next owner.
