Hospitality & Food Service Businesses for Sale & Business Succession

Hospitality and food service — some 600,000 restaurants plus Japan’s hotels and ryokan — is among the fastest-growing M&A sectors, lifted by the post-COVID recovery and booming inbound tourism. Aging owners, chronic staff shortages and shifting consumer demand keep a steady flow of businesses on the market. Value rests on location, brand, repeat-customer rates, staff and equipment condition, and buyers are active in format conversions and multi-store roll-ups. Diligence covers the premises lease, food-business licenses, retention of chefs and managers, and the handover of brand and regular customers — and for franchises, head-office consent. On MANDA you can search everything from owner-run restaurants to full-scale hotels nationwide.
