Common questions

What operators ask first

Do you handle lease negotiations for restaurant and bar spaces?

+

Yes. Commercial leases are one of the most common, and most consequential, things we negotiate for hospitality clients, including personal guaranty terms, co-tenancy protection, and assignment rights.

What should a restaurant lease include that a standard commercial lease doesn't?

+

Terms specific to F&B operations: hood and ventilation rights, grease trap and health department compliance language, and often a longer buildout period before rent commences.

Do you help with vendor and supplier contracts?

+

Yes. Food and beverage supplier agreements, equipment leases, and service contracts are a regular part of hospitality practice.

Can you help a business from outside Miami open its first location here?

+

Yes. We regularly guide out-of-state and international hospitality concepts through their first Miami location, including entity structure, licensing, and lease negotiation.

Do you handle liquor license matters for restaurants and bars?

+

We advise on the business and contract side of liquor licensing (lease compliance, entity structure, and license transfer terms in a sale) and coordinate with licensing specialists on the regulatory filing itself.
