Restaurant Type Closing Guides

Closing a restaurant is not the same for every concept. The obligations, asset values, and exit options differ significantly between a pizza restaurant, a bar, a food truck, a franchise, and a fast casual concept. These guides cover the specific issues for each type.

Why Type Matters When Closing

A bar closing has liquor license transfer value that a pizza restaurant does not. A franchise closing has franchisor approval requirements and territory reversion issues that an independent does not. A food truck closing has vehicle title and commissary contract issues that a brick-and-mortar does not. Using the wrong playbook costs money and time.
