Underperforming Family-Friendly Café – $49K Setup Sale with Huge Potential

Description

This café is not currently profitable — and we’re not pretending it is.

What it is, is a fully operational business with daily revenue, loyal local customers, and a well-equipped setup — priced well below replacement cost.

Located in a high-growth area of Lake Macquarie, this is a smart entry point for someone who’s ready to take charge and bring the café back to life.

The current owner is unable to be involved day-to-day due to family commitments. The business needs consistent leadership, not reinvention — and that’s where the opportunity lies.

Why It’s Worth a Look:

– Family-friendly focus with solid local following
– Full commercial kitchen, indoor/outdoor seating, and quality fit-out
– Immediate daily trade from locals, visitors, and nearby services
– Positioned for growth — 600+ workers arriving with local infrastructure projects
– Outdoor space ideal for markets, events, or weekend specials
– Priced at setup value only: $49K + stock

Important – Please Read Before Enquiring:

Who This is For:

– Hands-on owner-operators ready to lead from the front
– Experienced café operators looking for value and upside
– Buyers who can fund the purchase without relying on financials

Growth Potential Includes:

– Introducing takeaway and delivery platforms (Uber Eats, Menulog)

– Expanding trading hours and refreshing the brand
– Running events or weekend activations using the outdoor space
– This is a working café with strong bones and community awareness. You’re not buying profit — you’re buying a setup, a location, and the chance to turn it around.
