Multi-Unit Restaurants Platform & Add-On Integration: An Independent Sponsor's Counsel
Independent sponsor counsel for multi-unit restaurants, focused on Platform & Add-On Integration and the deal mechanics that protect sponsor economics and LP alignment.
Platform & Add-On Integration on multi-unit restaurants deals is one of those workstreams that looks routine on a checklist and decides outcomes in practice.
The typical multi-unit restaurants platform sits at $8M to $80M EV with EBITDA in the $2M to $14M range. The thesis runs on franchisee roll-up or regional concept acquisition. The franchisor consent letter is the deal. Get it lined up before you spend money on diligence.
How Platform & Add-On Integration actually gets structured.
Plan integration sequencing in the 100-day plan, with clear go-live dates.
Map customer contracts, vendor relationships, and employee benefits for transfer.
Update the platform's operating agreement to reflect new add-on equity and governance.
Coordinate insurance program consolidation across platform and add-on entities.
In multi-unit restaurants, layer in franchisor LOI letter requested before market as part of the Platform & Add-On Integration workstream.
Leaving the add-on as a parallel entity. The synergies live in the integration, not the addition.
"Integration is when the multiple actually expands. Plan it as a deal, not an aftermath."Jason Powell · Platform & Add-On Integration
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
After close, the call list for refinancing, recapitalization, and growth equity gets short and known. Jason carries that list.
