A rare opportunity to acquire a well-established catering and events business in the heart of Port Macquarie, renowned for exceptional food, professional service, and reliability.
With nearly a decade of operation and 5 star reviews, the business has built a loyal client base, including corporate clients, weddings, private parties, schools, and community events.
Key Features:
* Established Reputation: Strong brand presence, repeat corporate clients, ongoing contracts into the future and referrals ensure ongoing demand.
* Diverse Revenue Streams: Weddings, corporate functions, private events, school and community events provide predictable, balanced income.
* Experienced Team: Skilled chefs, kitchen assistants, and event staff reduce dependency on the owner.
* Production-Focused Commercial Kitchen & Mobile Setup: Fully equipped kitchen used to prepare all food off-site for events, complemented by a mobile food trailer for flexible operations. No customer-facing area is required.
* Fully Licensed Bar Service: Catering liquor licence allows for bar service as an add-on or stand-alone, with experienced staff to elevate any event.
* Efficient Systems & Processes: Streamlined operations from bookings to event delivery allow for consistent, high-quality service.
* Strong Online Presence: Professional website and social media generate consistent enquiries.
* Prime Location: Based in a growing coastal hub with tourism, weddings, and corporate sectors.
* Lifestyle Built-In: Flexible schedule allows the owner to enjoy work-life balance while managing high-value bookings.
* Why Catering Works: Unlike cafes, catering businesses have highly controllable costs, minimal food wastage, and labour matched directly to each event. This makes profitability more predictable and scaling easier, with opportunities to grow revenue without significantly increasing overheads.
Opportunities for Growth:
* Take on additional bookings during peak periods.
* Expand into meal delivery or pre-prepared food services.
* Supply cafés, restaurants, or corporate offices with ready-to-serve products.
* Build exclusive venue partnerships and preferred supplier agreements.
* Broaden geographic coverage across the Mid North Coast with mobile units or a second base.
* Increase marketing and social media visibility: The business currently relies on word-of-mouth and repeat clients. Implementing targeted marketing campaigns, social media promotion, or packaged offerings could significantly boost enquiries and revenue.
* Introduce packaged offerings or upsell services for higher-value bookings.
* Position the business for a franchise or multi-location expansion.
* Transition Support: The current owner is available to provide hands-on mentorship and coaching for up to 12 months (by negotiation), ensuring a smooth transition for first-time operators.
This is an ideal acquisition for an owner-operator seeking a profitable, scalable business with loyal clients, a capable team, turnkey systems, and lifestyle flexibility.
Step in and take advantage of a strong reputation, predictable revenue, and endless growth potential.
