Lower North Shore Neighbourhood Café – Charming street appeal

Description

This Lower North Shore Café is in an affluent suburb on a tree lined street and occupies an unrivalled position in a local neighbourhood setting. The business is nestled amongst residential dwellings and is close to other complimentary commercial businesses and a school without them impacting on uniqueness of the location.

The café has been established for several years and it trades just six days serving breakfast and light lunch. Still operating predominantly on take-away, it currently trades from 7.30am – 1.30pm  Mon-Sat (pre COVID hours Tue-Sat 7am-3pm, Sun 8am-2pm).

The menu caters for the needs of the local demographic and is also carefully designed to maximise profit and minimise prep (and therefore wages). The current owners have refined the offering, costings and supplier relationships to allow a new owner to take over a popular menu with higher than industry-standard profit margins.

The café has a fully fitted commercial kitchen with a grease trap, exhaust system and gas range. The dining area is a light, bright space and the café also has a dedicated outdoor seating area.

Easy to operate with one owner and just two staff, this is a perfect first business for an owner operator or a couple. Everything is set up for you and the business is trading well, walk in and start making money from day one. Increase the potential by extending the trading hours, including dinners and the important Sunday trade. Capture the school sports groups for their weekly catch ups.

If you have been looking for a small profitable business with limited competition and a loyal following, then this could be the one.

Licensed Real Estate Agent and Business Broker in NSW @ GSE Hospitality Brokers

Take-aways, restaurants and later cafes and car wash cafes have been an integral part of my life since childhood. I learnt the trades of hand cut chips, filleting fish, making burgers, being a barista, being a waiter, being a cook and on top of all that, producing quality and providing excellent customer service. The initial stages were part of the family business, but later became a choice to support my studies or a change of direction in life.

I had various corporate jobs and landed in a regional role in a large coffee franchise. Here I supported franchisees to effectively (and efficiently) run their businesses from reducing cost of goods and wages, marketing their business both from behind the counter and through local area marketing, sampling activities and providing robust business plans. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail was the motto.Though the process, we were able to understand in detail the business and were subsequently able to make the right decisions for the future direction of the business – whether to continue and increase sales and profit, realise that the full potential of the business has been achieved or accept that the business trajectory is not where it needs to be and therefore create an exit plan.

After a while I decided that I could provide this service to a lot of businesses and industries and got my broker’s licence and started servicing NSW in consulting and selling. I co-authored a book titled ‘Show You the Money’, a business KPI handbook given to prospective and current business owners when engaging the consulting services to assist and guide them through their business decisions. Selling at the right price and time was proving to be the decision most business owners were asking for – and I was only too happy to help! After a few years, I was asked to be involved in a start-up and since then I have been involved in five start-ups, but the passion for hospitality remained.

I believe relationships are the cornerstone of any business and creating the open communication channels and informing the vendor and the buyer of the progress of their venture is paramount. Couple this with the vast experience that I bring, I am able to effectively communicate with both parties with authority and insightfulness. I look forward to sharing your business thoughts and plans and obtaining the best possible results for your business.
