Getting A Restaurant and Bar Deal Done Takes Patience and Diligence

Buying and selling a restaurant and/or bar is a process requiring patience along every step.  From the beginning of the negotiations to the very end of the deal when inventory is being counted, there is a tremendous amount of stress on both the buyer and seller. 

Keeping focused on the goal is critical, and knowing that each party's senses are probably heightened and very sensitive to situations, is an important point to be aware of during the process.  

During these stressful times, do something that brings you peace and don't jump on the emotions because that will certainly bite you in the butt. 

Your broker ought to be giving you a road map of how the deal needs to get done step by step. Keep focused on each step until that step is done. Then move to the next. 

Before you know it, the deal will be done.
