Venue concession agreement

This permit operates at a stadium or arena. Concession-style contracts (not traditional rent) are typical: the venue keeps the majority share of gross receipts, the operator covers labor, cost-of-goods, and capital improvements amortized over the contract term.

Operator share (likely) 30% · $364,945/yr
Venue share (estimated) $70,962/mo · 70% of gross
Event-day labor ~8% of gross · $8,110/mo

Splits vary by contract — typical range is 60/40 to 80/20 venue/operator on alcohol. Volunteer labor through nonprofit partners is common. Property tax falls on the venue, not the concession operator.

Disclaimer: Revenue is mixed-beverage gross receipts from the Texas Comptroller — it does not include cash income like door charges, game machines, merchandise, or event rentals (which can add 10–25% for nightclubs). Cost ratios are industry benchmarks for Texas MB-permit bars. Rent is estimated from submarket comps; property tax is from county public records pro-rated by square footage. Actual profit depends on lease terms, staffing, owner salary, and one-time costs.

We estimate this restaurant / bar pulls $2,703,296–$4,865,932/yr in total revenue (your liquor portion of $1,216,483 is roughly 25–45% of the total per industry benchmarks).

Confidence on this estimate is lower than the liquor-only valuation above — we're inferring food revenue from category averages, not from this specific operator's books. A serious buyer should request actual P&Ls + a Schedule C / 1120S.
