Blue Orbit Restaurant Consulting, a national consulting firm, has launched a Restaurant Valuation Calculator that provides restaurant owners, buyers, and brokers with a data-backed valuation and strategic analysis in just 30 minutes. The $25 online tool applies standard valuation methodology and AI-powered insights, offering an affordable alternative to the typical $9,000-$19,000 cost and 4-8 week timeline of traditional restaurant valuations.

Why it matters

This calculator empowers independent restaurant operators to understand the true value of their business, whether they are considering selling, buying, or simply want to improve their position before a potential sale. It also gives restaurant brokers a fast, credible starting point for listing conversations. In an industry with high turnover and uncertainty, this tool provides much-needed transparency around restaurant valuations.

The details

The Restaurant Valuation Calculator uses financial data provided by the user to generate a realistic valuation range based on Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE), EBITDA multiples, revenue benchmarks, and location-adjusted comparables. Additionally, the report includes an AI-powered strategic analysis covering market positioning, risk assessment, operational efficiency, deal structure considerations, and a prioritized list of steps to increase value before a sale.

  • The Restaurant Valuation Calculator launched on April 16, 2026.

What they’re saying

“Most restaurant owners have no idea what their business is actually worth, and finding out the traditional way costs between $9,000 and $19,000 and takes four to eight weeks. We built this calculator to give independent operators a real starting point based on actual financial logic, not guesswork. And the AI analysis that comes with every report tells you not just what your number is, but what's driving it and what to do about it (all for $25).”

— Ray Camillo, CEO, Blue Orbit Restaurant Consulting
