So the place currently makes no money at all.

The value is equipment in place. Unless there is something unusual about the equipment or the terms of the lease, the value is maybe half what they are asking.

BE SURE TO REVIEW THE LEASE BOTH FOR CURRENT TERMS, RENT, PERIOD, OPTIONS ETC AND FOR THE LEASE ASSIGNMENT CLAUSE BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO ANYTHING!!! See about getting a new lease from the LL rather than an assignment if the current lease does not have at least 5 years left to run.

If you do move on a deal like this, change the name, change the receipe.

DO NOT BUY THE BUSINESS. Purchasing the business just increases your exposure to liabilities. Buy the assets (equipment and small wares) go ahead and try to get the phone number. Use an attorney to do the deal.
