How to lease a restaurant space in Delaware, OH

  1. Nail down your concept and business plan. Define your restaurant type, target diners, and seating capacity. Landlords evaluate you as much as you evaluate them.
  2. Budget from projected sales. Keep rent and utilities at 5–10% of expected revenue. Reserve funds for build-out, which can run $200+ per sq. ft. for restaurants.
  3. Scout high-traffic locations. Use Location Intelligence to find neighborhoods in Delaware, OH where food service is underserved and foot traffic supports your concept.
  4. Prioritize kitchen-ready infrastructure. A second-generation space with hood, ventilation, grease trap, and adequate power saves months and huge build-out costs. Also check parking and liquor license availability.
  5. Verify the full occupancy cost. Restaurant leases are typically NNN or percentage-based, so run base rent, CAM, taxes, and insurance through the Lease Calculator before signing an LOI.
  6. Negotiate a long-term lease with protections. Push for a 5–10 year term with renewal options, free rent during build-out, and a TI allowance, then have an attorney review the lease and any personal guarantee.
