Restaurants · Landlord presentation
Landlord presentations that win the site.
Good sites have several applicants. A clear, professional presentation shows a landlord you will pay rent reliably and improve their property.
Fixed prices. No calls: you brief us in writing and comment in writing.
Fit-out
How the space will look and trade
Illustration only. Any figures are invented for this sample slide.

Landlords and their leasing agents.

How it differs
How a landlord presentation differs from a general pitch deck
A general startup deck asks for money. A landlord presentation asks for a site, and the landlord is judging risk over the whole lease: will rent be paid, will the build-out improve or damage the property, and will the use fit the other tenants. There is no market slide and no growth chart. Instead it covers kitchen infrastructure, trading hours, guarantees and timing. It is often read by a leasing agent first, so it must make sense without you in the room.

The questions behind every slide
What readers of a landlord presentation ask
Each answer names the slide or document where it belongs. If a question has no home in your deck, the reader will ask it in writing, or stop reading.
- 1
Does your kitchen need venting, a grease interceptor or more power than the space has?
The fit-out plan slide should list every infrastructure need, ideally confirmed by your kitchen designer.
- 2
What hours will you trade, and on which days?
An operations line on the concept slide should state hours, since many leases require continuous operation.
- 3
What improvement allowance do you need, and what will you invest yourself?
The fit-out plan slide should show both figures side by side.
- 4
Who stands behind the lease?
The financial strength slide should name the tenant entity and any guarantor, with statements provided separately on request.
- 5
How will you bring people to the property, and at what times?
The customer profile slide should show when your guests visit and how that helps neighboring tenants.
- 6
Will your use conflict with another tenant's exclusive?
The concept slide should describe your use precisely, so the agent can check it against existing leases.
- 7
Will you share sales figures if the lease includes percentage rent?
The financial strength slide should state what you will report and how often.
- 8
How soon after signing can you open?
The opening timeline slide should list design, permits, build-out and training with dates.
Headline rewrites
Slide titles that say something.
A reader skims headlines first. A label tells them the topic; a sentence tells them the point. Bracketed figures are placeholders for your own numbers.
