About the Business
Positioned in the heart of Port Douglas on Warner Street, just moments from Macrossan Street and the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly successful catering business with an exceptional reputation for quality, creativity, and outstanding service.
On Deck Catering currently operates 7 days a week with a dedicated team providing meals for numerous reef tourism operators, 4WD tours, Cape York motorcycle tours, hampers for resorts, high quality sweet and savoury items for cafes as well as fully staffed cocktail parties, dinner parties, weddings and events.
In 2007, the business was awarded ‘Best Wedding Caterers in QLD’ by industry body Restaurant and Catering QLD and was a consistent regional winner and state finalist in subsequent years.
On Deck Catering has serviced a diverse and loyal client base, earning strong brand recognition through its commitment to beautifully presented cuisine, professional service, and tailored menus designed to create unforgettable dining experiences.
The sale includes the option for leasehold interest of two adjoining commercial premises in the form of tilt-slab sheds featuring a fully equipped commercial kitchen, two walk in coolroom/freezers, extensive dry storage and a comprehensive range of plant and equipment as well as an air conditioned 25m2 office space and meeting room. Included in the sale are the delivery vehicle, current stock, and operational assets, providing a genuine turnkey opportunity for an experienced caterer, hospitality operator, or entrepreneur looking to capitalise on an established platform.
With proven systems, strong market recognition, and existing infrastructure in place, the business offers significant scope for a new owner to continue trading at its established level while exploring further growth opportunities. Potential exists to expand into weddings, luxury events, corporate catering, private functions, tourism experiences, and other high-value hospitality offerings.
Businesses of this calibre, with this history, reputation, and strategic Port Douglas location, are rarely offered to the market.
