William is a restaurant owner. He has 5 restaurants in Virginia, Maryland and DC. He is going through an extremely tough time due to Coronavirus crisis.

He had to shut down his restaurants, as ordered by authorities.
His restaurants are allowed to serve “take away” orders, however the revenue is very low to cover his costs.

William’s restaurants are located within a 45 minutes radius. Financial information is shown below;

Before the crisis, monthly revenue per restaurant was around $120,000. Now, with take-out only, revenue is down to $10,000 per month per restaurant.

William is aware that his business is rapidly burning cash and he will run out of cash in about 3 months.

William is still very young, therefore retiring or selling the business is not an option for him.

William needs help to make tough decisions. He has heard about you, a bright business professional and you agreed to consult him.

Your Task

Your task is to help William to take the following decisions.

Please provide an answer to each of them and explain why.

1. Should William close restaurants? If yes, for how long? And what should he do after that? Why?

If not, should he continue take away only? Why?

2. Before the crisis, the fair market value for each of his restaurants would be about $1 million. An investor, who is trying to make advantage of the crisis, offered to buy his restaurant in DC for only $100,000.

Would you recommend William to sell or not? Why?

3. Just before the crisis, William was making expansion plans. He was about to sign a lease agreement for a new restaurant near Tysons Corner, which is a booming area with many residential units being developed. It is almost certain, in 2 years’ time, this area will be a hot spot for a restaurant.

Should William sign the lease agreement? What should he do? Why?

4.William is aware if does nothing, he will run out of cash in 3 months. What actions should he immediately take? List your recommendations.

Think as if this is your family business.

Your answers should include numbers.
