Description
offering a vibrant mix of dining options, shopping experiences, art galleries, and wine bars. Just a short distance from the iconic San Clemente Pier, this lively thoroughfare is often described as the beating heart of the city. With its array of eateries, boutiques, and attractions, Avenida Del Mar stands out as one of Orange County's most delightful main streets.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey, profitable restaurant featuring approximately 1,100 sq. ft. plus patio seating, established in 2024. The current owner invested approximately $300,000 to transform the retail space into a fully operational, modern restaurant.
Key Features:
• All new equipment and extensive improvements
• 12-foot commercial hood system
• In-ground grease interceptor
• Efficient, fully built-out kitchen—ready for immediate operation
The business is currently absentee-owned and operates with:
• 2 full-time employees
• 1 part-time employee
A standout feature is the integration of a cooking robot, which can handle much of the food preparation. According to the seller, this significantly reduces labor costs by eliminating the need for a full-time chef.
The restaurant is presently an Asian cuisine concept, but a new owner may convert to a different concept (subject to landlord approval).
Lease & Buyer Requirements:
• Landlord will NOT approve startup operators
• Buyer must demonstrate:
o Strong credit
o Solid financials
o Proven restaurant experience
• Preference for buyers with existing restaurant operations/locations
This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced operator seeking a profitable, low-labor, and fully equipped restaurant with major upfront investment already completed in a premium location.
