The Operator's Read
The group scales to 17 units and $3,600,000 annual EBITDA while staying solvent. At 5× that implies $18,000,000. Self-funding growth from unit cash flow is the disciplined path — a bespoke model sequences the build to protect the balance sheet.

About This Model
A full operating model of a multi-unit restaurant group. Each unit throws off restaurant-level EBITDA; new units open on a rollout schedule and consume build capital; corporate overhead sits on top; and group EBITDA sets an implied valuation. The model that shows whether expansion builds value or just burns it.

Assumptions & Limitations
- •The model is deterministic and monthly — it projects your drivers forward with clear arithmetic, one scenario at a time.
- •Defaults are illustrative benchmarks. The paid version ships in Excel so you can wire in your real chart of accounts.
- •For a model built entirely around your business — hiring waves, fundraising rounds, working capital — commission a bespoke engagement.
- •Educational decision-support tool — not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
