Why do Boston restaurant listings show sales per week?

It's a common way brokers describe a restaurant's volume. Weekly sales show how busy it is, but rent, food, payroll and other costs come out before the owner is paid, so ask for the cash flow or seller's discretionary earnings figure.

Does this page include Cambridge, Somerville and the South Shore?

Yes. It includes Boston plus nearby cities and towns that listings tag to the Boston area, such as Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Quincy, Needham, Hingham and Weymouth.

How is the cash-on-cash number worked out?

It's an estimate on our model, shown only when a listing shares cash flow: 30% down, a 7.5% interest rate and a 10-year loan, with cash flow left after loan payments divided by the down payment. Many restaurant listings don't share cash flow, so those show no number. You can run your own figures in our free business acquisition calculator.
