Summary

Huge Potential for Hands-On Operator

About the Business

Step straight into a fully operational grab-and-go café in Dee Why for a fraction of the cost of starting from scratch.

This is a trading asset sale—priced for the fit-out, equipment, systems, and established operation. No profit and loss statements are provided, so it’s not suitable for buyers relying on finance or current profitability.

Currently, the café is underperforming, largely because the owner has no hospitality background and takes a hands-off approach, leaving three casual staff to manage daily operations.

This is exactly what makes it such an amazing opportunity for a hands-on operator ready to step in, streamline processes, and return it to the thriving, profitable business it once was. We’ve sold this business before and know its full potential.

Why this café is ideal:

- Trading asset sale – fully fitted grab-and-go café with all equipment and systems included

- Modern, appealing fit-out – nothing to spend, ready to trade immediately

- Grab-and-go model – no full kitchen, minimal cooking, simple and easy to operate

- Under management – run by 3 casual staff, giving hands-on buyers immediate control

- Immediate trading – start earning from day one

- Flexible concept – could easily be converted to another takeaway business such as gelato, acai bowls, or a speciality food store that requires minimal space

- Prime Dee Why location – just off Pittwater Road, high visibility, consistent foot traffic from locals, professionals, and visitors

- Low cost entry – replicate from scratch would cost $99,000+

This compact, efficient café has strong upside for a motivated operator.

Revenue is already coming in, and all major setup costs have been taken care of

With a simple menu, low overheads, modern fit-out, and a loyal customer base, it’s a rare chance to step in and maximise earnings without the usual start up headaches.

Staff: 3 casuals, fully managed
Price: $60,000 + SAV

If you’re a hands-on operator ready to take control, optimise operations, and restore this grab-and-go café to the profitable, thriving business it is capable of being—or convert it into another takeaway concept—this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Opportunity
There's strong potential to boost revenue by extending trading hours to capture early commuters and evening customers, expanding the menu with seasonal specials or dietary options like vegan and gluten-free, and reinstating delivery services. The café previously had a successful Uber Eats presence with a 4.9-star rating, reflecting high customer satisfaction and strong takeaway demand. A new owner could easily re-establish and expand delivery partnerships with platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash to reach a broader market, including remote workers and locals seeking convenience. With low effort and high potential return, this presents a clear opportunity for growth—especially when paired with targeted social media and local marketing to build brand awareness.
