Restaurant & Hospitality

Through their intensive involvement in the retail/restaurant industry, ChainLinks member firms are uniquely positioned to assist hospitality owners and operators in locating top-quality sites and to assist developers and property owners in attracting compatible hospitality uses to their projects.

Moreover, our talents and experience as retail brokers means that we are the only organization in our industry which can provide seamless service to hospitality operators and landowners such as solving any excess land issues or attracting restaurants to a hospitality site.

Since hospitality owners and operators focus on many of the same factors that other ChainLinks clients consider such as demographics, location, visibility, access, the mix of other businesses near to a site, competition in the trade area, and the existence of “demand generators” like tourism, these owners and operators need an organization such as ChainLinks which intimately understands these factors and can interpret and prioritize them for its clients.

Our member firms are heavily involved in the restaurant industry and are actively working every day on behalf of the most well known and reputable restaurant operators. Given the similarities (from a financial standpoint) between restaurant and hospitality operations – that is, both are very management intensive, each has high fixed costs, and the two sectors employ a substantial number of employees – hospitality operators rely on ChainLinks to contribute the experience of its broker team and the understanding of the client’s business model to act most expertly and effectively on their behalf.

Finally, as in the retail and restaurant sectors, the hospitality industry experiences changes based upon seasonality, location, customer demand, and the usual market and trade area factors such as new competition and changes in demographics (both customer and workforce). Our clients utilize our services because they know we are most adept at recognizing these changes before they occur, consulting our clients on the full range of implications, and reacting quickly to turn these events into windows of opportunity.
