An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established, owner-operated café business with a proven trading history and consistent profitability. The business has been operating successfully since January 2017 and has built a loyal customer base supported by stable weekly turnover and efficient cost control. It is ideally suited to a hands-on owner-operator or hospitality couple seeking reliable income with lifestyle balance, while also offering future growth potential.

Weekend trading was temporarily paused in April 2022 due to health reasons and successfully resumed in May 2024, reinstating full trading potential and additional upside for the incoming owner. The café operates from a compact and efficient premises of approximately 66 square metres plus outdoor storage, allowing for easy management and low operating overheads. The fit-out is clean, functional, and well maintained, with no major capital expenditure required.

A secure lease is in place until June 2026 with a further five-year option. Rent is highly competitive at approximately $5,800 per month inclusive of GST and outgoings, with a fixed annual rent review of 2.5 per cent, providing long-term certainty and predictability.

The business operates under a simple and efficient staffing structure comprising two full-time working owners and two casual staff. Owners currently draw approximately $1,140 per week each, while casual wages total approximately $2,200 per week, keeping labour well controlled and easy to manage.

Financial performance is strong and consistent. Average weekly turnover is approximately $11,000. Weekly expenses include rent of approximately $1,340, wages of approximately $4,500, cost of goods sold of approximately $3,520 representing around 32 per cent, and miscellaneous expenses of approximately $500. This results in a weekly net profit of approximately $1,150 and an annual net profit of approximately $60,000.

In addition to net profit, the business provides owners’ wages totalling approximately $114,000 per annum, delivering total Seller’s Discretionary Earnings of approximately $170,000 per annum. This makes the business a compelling proposition for owner-operators seeking both income and profit from day one.

The business offers genuine upside potential through further expansion of trading hours, marketing initiatives, menu optimisation, catering, or delivery channels. It is a turnkey operation with established systems, trained staff, strong local support, and consistent cash flow.

This opportunity is ideal for hospitality couples, owner-operators, or buyers seeking a stable, profitable café business with low rent, a secure lease, and strong earnings. The sale is confidential, and further information is available upon completion of a confidentiality agreement.
