What is the average sales per square foot for a restaurant?
Well, it depends on what type of restaurant you have. Casual
dining restaurants like Chili's or Applebees will average between
$550 and 650. $2,800,000 / 4500 sq. ft Fast food chains like
McDonalds and Chick-fil-a do better averaging about $1000 per foot.
$1,300,000 / 1200 sq. ft Up scale restaurants Ruth's Chris or
Morton's are in the middle, around $800 $4,500,000 / 5250 sq. ft
Keep in mind that these are for the well known and profitable chain
restaurants. Mom and Pop restaurants usually do not hit these
numbers due to lower brand rcognition.
