Got an offer from a restaurant chain company, not publicly traded. How can I evaluate the financial backings of the company, how long the company can sustain?

Brand or multi-brand? What are total system sales?

Pitchbook is a good source

Not its not chick-fil, apologies can’t share the name..

P1 - brand.

Even if you get financial information, it will likely be stale and may not tell you anything.

Without knowing the segment, here are some things to think about strategically to get a sense of how well they are doing / how sustainable it is:

-How digitally capable is the brand? Quality of app? Enabling of touchless transactions?
- How dependent on alcohol sales?
- Does menu / product hold up well for eating at home?
- Any evidence they have made G&A cuts, e.g. by looking at LinkedIn postings?
- What price point do they play at? Some belief that budget / value players will do better over the next couple of years if you think we’re in for a slow economic recovery
- What is the geographic profile of their locations? Concentrated in places hit hard by virus?
- What is the real estate profile of their locations? Restaurants with heavy exposure to office lunch business or college campuses are not doing well

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
