Led by Matthew Beason, Entrée Restaurant & Retail Solutions helps real estate developers, landlords and investors navigate the complexities of the restaurant business and its role in real estate projects.
Beason leans on his experience in both the real estate development and restaurant businesses to deliver creative solutions and meaningful results to his clients.
The Challenge
Restaurants are often the vibrant epicenter of development projects.
They also bring challenges that come with working with small, independent restaurateurs who aren’t savvy in real estate or business. Or, who need creative financial tools to get off the ground.
This can lead to challenging negotiations and frustration for both parties, that can be avoided with the right approach, both on the front end and during the lifecycle of the relationship. Mattie’s vast skill set and experience address and solve these challenges for you.
We provide the following services:
- Vetting restaurant operators by analyzing present operations, accessing books, and discussing concepts with the operator
- Understanding financial strength and business plans
- Helping the developer and restaurant operator understand the challenges of the lease and operation, to come to arrive at a mutually beneficial agreement.
- Consulting with the operator to improve practices in front and back of house
- Assisting in negotiating lease, TI allowances, creative ways to find a win-win deal.
- Assisting developer/owners with strategic planning for new developments
- Assisting developer/owners with design reviews of plans to ensure marketability of retail/restaurant spaces and infrastructure.
(i.e. ensure the development is designing appropriate spaces for restaurants).
