El Alma Cafe Y Cantina's share

Based on most-likely scenario (~$292,542 net) estimated
We estimate this mexican restaurant pulls $3,731,403–$6,529,955/yr in total revenue (your liquor portion of $1,305,991 is roughly 20–35% of the total per industry benchmarks). Applied to that estimated total: revenue multiple 0.30–0.50×, net margin 10–15%, SDE multiple 2.5–4.0× (restaurant comps, not bar comps).
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.
