Question 1

Why a specialized restaurant broker instead of a “normal” broker?

Accepted Answer

Restaurant properties have specific requirements: operational processes, kitchen technology, hygiene/restaurant requirements, supply and brewery contracts, staff transfers, inventory and transfers, and leasing/mixed lease models. A specialized broker addresses the right target groups (operators, investors, hoteliers), understands key performance indicators, and thus reduces downtime, lost time, and risk.
In a 2024 study, Immobilienscout found that sales revenue for restaurant properties and hotels is 22% higher than without a broker.

Question 2

Why work with Absolut Gastronomie Immobilien?

Accepted Answer

Industry specialization (restaurants and hotels, with a focus on southern Germany), verified prospective buyer profiles, structured media plans (portals, trade media, social media, direct contact), discreet marketing when needed (off-market), clear processes up to the notary/handover, and transparent communication with regular status reports. We also have the network to reach potential tenants and buyers, both through our own database and through social media, where we are very active and present. Our reference list (https://www.absolut-gastronomie-immobilien.de/referenzliste), which represents only a small excerpt of the properties successfully marketed in recent years, speaks for itself.

Question 3

What types of properties do you manage?

Accepted Answer

Restaurants, bars, cafés, pubs, beer gardens, event/club spaces, as well as hotels, guesthouses, and apartment hotels – existing, operating, or vacant. With us, there's no barrier to entry regarding transaction volume.

Question 4

Do you also work discreetly (off-market)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upon request, we can provide targeted direct contact within our network of operators and investors, complemented by confidential document rooms (data rooms) with access control.

Question 5

What are the costs?

Accepted Answer

Commission and mandate models depend on the project (leasing vs. sale, individual property vs. portfolio). Terms are transparently defined in the brokerage agreement before the start. Factors such as "anonymous marketing," location, and even the property itself influence the terms.

Question 6

How do you protect sensitive data?

Accepted Answer

With tiered exposés (teaser/full exposé), NDA obligations, and secure data rooms with role-based access. Financial details only for qualified buyers.
