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.
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.

Based on most-likely scenario (~$-80,288 net) estimated
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). 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.
