The Value of a Specialist Broker

EXPERTISE - CONNECTIONS - KNOW-HOW

You want to rent a restaurant? You're on an expansion course and intend to lease several establishments? Then you can look around on general portals. They offer various gastronomy properties. But these are often only half as interesting as those in the portfolio of well-networked brokers for gastronomy real estate. Because many properties are never brought to market in the first place. Often they are located in top locations, have advantageous extras, or attractive usage options. To know all the possibilities, you should work with a broker when searching for gastronomy properties to rent or lease.

With a broker, you gain access to hidden real estate treasures. The search for the right gastro property is not rocket science. But it's not child's play either. Anyone who knows the gastro-real estate market knows: You can only access particularly attractive hotels, restaurants, cafés, and gastronomy businesses with "connections". If you want to rent or lease standard gastronomy, you may find a suitable property on conventional platforms. But you must be aware that the support is less exclusive and there is more competition. Furthermore, the time commitment from the initial search to the actual contract signing is higher. – And a commission will usually be charged anyway.

With a gastronomy broker who specializes in leasing and renting gastro-real estate, rental and lease interested parties are better advised. He not only takes work off their hands in a field they are not experienced in, but also provides significant added value right from the search.

Is networking the secret?

He has connections: A gastronomy-real estate broker has an extensive gastronomy network. He knows the restaurateurs and is the first to find out when someone offers their property.

He has the data: A professional broker maintains a well-kept database. This gives him a daily overview of current rental or lease offers as well as sales of gastronomy real estate. – Often long before these properties come to the official market. This gives him a decisive advantage over portals. We'll discuss the other benefits a broker provides in the process later.

Restaurateurs and brokers are closely networked. Top properties often never come to the real estate market at all. Did you know that many gastronomy businesses that are available for rent or lease are not advertised at all? They are mediated through other channels. With particularly attractive gastro-real estate, word-of-mouth is often sufficient. Gastro brokers are frequently brought in for mediation because they make processes run smoothly for both interested parties and landlords or lessors.

A gastronomy-real estate broker finds it easier to locate suitable tenants or lessees for restaurants or hotels that are interested in temporary use or change of use of the property. He knows the wishes and medium and long-term goals of his clients. If a pop-up store is to be found for rent, he knows where to look. If a gastronomy property can be converted into a senior living facility through a change of use, he finds the right interested parties for whom this dual option is attractive.

Restaurateurs on an expansion course need fast, good solutions. For franchisers, system restaurateurs, consultants, and caterers, gastronomy brokers support all restaurateurs in their search for a restaurant, hotel, café, etc. to rent or lease: gastro businesses that want to expand and are looking for additional locations, franchisers and system restaurateurs who want to rent suitable properties in good locations, as well as caterers who need a location for their sales and production of their gastronomic offerings. They also help gastronomy consultants find the right rental or lease property for their clients.

Smoothly: Search profile – Viewing – Contract – Key handoverHow does a broker work when searching for a gastronomy business to rent or lease? After the interested party's parameters are known, he begins a focused search for a suitable hotel, restaurant, club, or other gastronomy property. Interesting properties are presented to potential tenants or lessees. – But only if they match the search profile in terms of price, location, furnishings, concept, usage possibilities, and contract-relevant parameters. After viewings, the broker naturally also supports the preparation and optimization of all relevant documents and evidence. Upon request, he is also present at the key handover. This way, restaurateurs get a new lease agreement even faster than they can say Bon Appétit!

Tip: You can immediately recognize a good gastronomy broker! He is well-networked, has his own database, and can provide guidance on content-related questions around the structuring of contractual matters!
