Describe Your Business
Firehouse Smokehouse BBQ is a well-established restaurant group operating four profitable barbecue restaurants known for authentic slow-smoked meats, handcrafted sides, family dining, catering services, corporate events, online ordering, and regional food distribution. Over the past fifteen years, the company has built a recognizable regional brand with an exceptionally loyal customer base and strong community presence.
Revenue is diversified across dine-in dining, takeout, online ordering, third-party delivery platforms, catering contracts, private events, branded retail sauces and seasonings, and seasonal corporate catering programs. Approximately 30% of annual revenue is generated through recurring catering and business accounts, providing dependable cash flow beyond traditional restaurant operations.
The business has invested heavily in restaurant technology, including cloud-based POS systems, AI-driven labor scheduling, inventory management software, customer loyalty programs, online ordering platforms, kitchen automation, and digital marketing campaigns that continue driving repeat business.
This acquisition opportunity is well suited for restaurant operators, hospitality groups, private equity firms, family offices, franchise organizations, strategic food service companies, and entrepreneurs seeking a profitable restaurant business for sale with experienced management, multiple revenue streams, and opportunities for regional or national expansion.
Why Are You Selling?
