Summary

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, owner-operated catering business

About the Business

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, owner-operated catering business servicing two exclusive Central Coast venues.

With strong weekly revenue, streamlined operations, and ready-to-activate growth opportunities, this business is ideal for an experienced hospitality operator seeking a solid income and excellent work-life balance.

Key Features:

* Operating across two high-traffic, purpose-built venues with exclusive access

* Five professionally furnished function rooms featuring AV systems, outdoor areas, and licensed bars

* On-site commercial kitchens at both locations with fully owned, well-maintained equipment

* Weekday café operating at one venue; second café space fully fitted and ready for reactivation

* Weekly takings approx. $13,100 | Rent: $900/week + percentage of bookings

* Reliable team in place: 6 casual staff + 1 permanent part-time

* Owner-operated with two principals working approximately 20 hours per week each

* Fully licensed to serve alcohol at both venues

* Average customer spend: $18-$36 | Coffee sales: 3kg/week

* Efficient, low-waste model - most catering is pre-booked, ensuring predictable volumes and minimal food wastage

* Previously operated a successful off-site catering division for weddings and private events; currently dormant but fully resourced, offering significant upside potential

The business operates Monday to Friday, with owners currently paying themselves $70 per hour for 20 hours each per week - a combined $1,400 per owner - providing an exceptional work-life balance.

This well-established catering business is perfect for an experienced hospitality professional, owner-operator, or small team seeking a profitable, systemised operation with predictable workflows and strong community demand.

A chef, in particular, may relish managing the straightforward, pre-ordered memorial catering side while also showcasing their culinary skills through the more creative and high-profile wedding and private event catering.

The business suits buyers looking for a manageable lifestyle with standard weekday hours and offers significant growth potential through café expansion and event catering.

The current owners are retiring and committed to providing a comprehensive handover to support a smooth transition to new management.
