Restaurants & cafés in Texas

6,631 licensed restaurants in Texas, and for the ones that serve alcohol we know what they sold last year, because Texas publishes monthly mixed-beverage receipts. The median one has been licensed since 2019.

Restaurants are the most-sold business in America and the least loyal: owners decide at the kitchen table and list within weeks. They trade around 2.18x owner earnings, median sale about $220K, and most sell in six to nine months.

The median range on priced pages in Texas is $189K to $361K. Anything above that is usually a full-liquor concept with a food program; anything below is counter service.
