Have you tried negotiating with your lessor regarding the lease term because this is totally dependent on the contract that you have signed. In fact, a lot of business owners have been complaining about the high cost of closing down a business. On the bright side, I am sure that there are some frequent customers, right? Have you asked them about what they particularly like about your restaurant? Hope to hear back from you Melissa. ;) Hey Melissa, I totally understand your situation as a restaurant owner.

I desperately want to get out of the restaurant business. As you stated, it is very expensive operating a restaurant. People think it only costs a few cents to make a taco, but they don't consider rent, utilities, insurance, PAYROLL and cost of supplies (those take out boxes add up!) Any advice? I am seriously ready to walk away but worry about the remaining lease term.... We have had our restaurant for 2 years and have 3 years remaining on our lease.
