From Concept to License

Gastronomy is one of the most popular but also most competitive sectors in Germany. Four out of ten new restaurants close within the first three years. The reason is rarely bad food; it is usually poor commercial planning.

Excessive takeover fees (Ablöse), the wrong location, missing personnel calculation, or strict brewery contracts can quickly ruin your margin. With our business plan, we protect you from these pitfalls and make your concept profitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Important answers about starting a gastronomy business.

Costs vary greatly, but usually range between 50,000 and 150,000 euros. The largest items include the takeover fee (Ablöse) paid to the previous tenant, deposit, renovation costs, kitchen equipment, and marketing. A detailed business plan is absolutely essential to calculate these costs accurately.
Yes. In addition to banks and landlords, official authorities (Ordnungsamt / Gewerbeamt) often want to see a commercial document proving that your concept and financing are solid before granting a gastronomy license.
It depends. Brewery contracts often provide you with inventory or financial support, but tie you to specific brands and purchase quotas. In our financial plan, we examine whether the selected brewery contract is profitable for you in the long term.
A takeover (by paying an Ablöse) usually brings an established customer base and existing infrastructure, but requires a high initial investment. With our balance sheet and BWA audit, we check whether the requested takeover fee is fair.
Yes, the KfW also finances solid projects in the gastronomy sector. A bank-approved and high-quality business plan is a mandatory prerequisite to apply for low-interest financing such as the StartGeld loan.
