Not automatically. Almost every commercial lease requires the landlord's written consent to an assignment, and that consent is where restaurant deals most often stall or die. Read the assignment clause before anything else: some landlords use the change of hands to reset the rent or shorten the term. Check the remaining term and every option to renew — a restaurant with two years left is worth far less than the equipment and goodwill suggest, because you may be rebuilding the fit-out somewhere else. Expect the landlord to want your financials and restaurant experience, and start that conversation early rather than at the end of escrow.

A California alcohol licence is transferred through the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, not handed over with the keys, and the transfer runs through escrow with a posting and objection period. Budget 60 to 120 days. The type matters: a Type 47 (full liquor, on-sale general) is restricted by county quota and can be worth six figures on its own in Los Angeles or San Francisco, while a Type 41 (beer and wine) is far cheaper and easier to obtain. Confirm the licence is in good standing with no pending disciplinary action before you agree a price, because a suspended or conditioned licence changes what you are buying.
