“Ready to franchise and expand”

Right, because the opportunity to do so wasn’t present in the first 31 years of being in business and the restaurant business in general is a license to print money

Regular businesses have goodwill value - happens all of the time.

Yes and that's not a good thing. It takes 20 years to depreciate goodwill. Get better accountants.

If there is anything specialized or involves the current owner being a certified trade, the main asset of the company is him, and thus it's worth about 75% of one one years net. If you have to hire someone to take the guys position, no employee will put in the grind that the owner does.

Are you expecting the buyers of your company to pay you more than the book value of your assets? I presume so.

You're getting hung up on irrelevant wording, and missing the concepts.

Valuation is indeed a tricky but key aspect of investment, especially for a long-standing small business like the one you described. While I'm not an expert, here's my two cents: look beyond just revenue (X), costs (Y), and asset value (Z). Consider intangibles, like customer loyalty and potential growth.
On another note, if the business expansion would involve entering the online world, it's good to know what advertising techniques the competition uses. I personally use this AdSpy software. It gives insights into successful ads and marketing trends in the industry, which can be a huge advantage.
Back to business valuation - icing on the cake would be any unique selling propositions, the exclusivity of services, and potential synergies if integrated with any existing businesses amongst the investors. Due diligence should paint a clear picture of its worth.
