Tasmania | $160,000

Acquire a long-established, highly systemised mobile events and catering business.
Operating under the nationally recognised Coast To Coast The Golden Roast franchise system, the business has traded for more than 30 years and services corporate, private and community events across Tasmania.
The numbers tell the story:

Adjusted Owner Cash Flow before owner's wage - FY2026 $204,000+ , FY2025 $234,000+
Forward Bookings - $300,000+ through to mid-2027 (recurring clients)
Asking Price - $160,000 WIWO

Unlike a traditional hospitality business, there is no expensive retail premises to operate. The business is fully mobile and can be operated from home, helping keep fixed overheads low.

Who could this suit?
Ideal for a hospitality professional ready to own their first business, with an established brand, loyal clients and franchisor support already in place.

$300,000+ already booked through to mid-2027
Revenue from day one and well into 2027.

Loyal clients who return year after year
Many corporate, private and community clients rebook annually, providing a dependable base of repeat business.

Bookings secured well in advance
Customers typically book months ahead, giving predictable income and time to plan staffing, stock and scheduling.

Tasmania's largest catering operation
With capacity for up to 1,000 guests, the business can service large functions beyond the practical reach of competitors.

Established franchise in Tas for more than 30 years
A proven operating history with repeat customers, referrals and a strong market presence.

Systemised franchise with marketing support
Established systems, brand recognition and franchisor support, with Head Office contributing 50% of selected advertising costs. No chef qualifications required.

Simple, onsite food preparation
Virtually all preparation and cooking takes place at the venue, with very little required beforehand.

Low fixed overheads
A mobile, home-based model without the rent and occupancy costs of conventional hospitality venues.

Choose when you work
You decide which bookings to accept, so you can schedule work around your lifestyle and take time off when it suits you.

Can be run by one owner or manager
The core duties currently shared by the two owners (enquiries, administration, collecting stock, preparing equipment and organising jobs) can be handled by a single owner or manager. You can attend functions personally or rely on casual staff, engaged according to the size of each event. There is scope for a new owner to build the casual staff pool to support continued growth.
