About the business
This is a cafe and carvery on the Gold Coast, in a shopping precinct on the northern Gold Coast, serving the local community since 2000. The current owner has operated it since 2021 and contributes approximately 35-40 hours per week. The menu covers hot-box meals, breakfast favourites and freshly prepared meat sandwiches, and it is the only outlet in the centre offering this style of meat sandwich. The team is seven part-time staff, and core members have stayed approximately three years. The cafe trades daytime hours seven days a week, serving dine-in and takeaway customers, and also takes orders through third-party ordering and delivery platforms. A long secured lease is available for the right candidate. The broker reports a strong reputation for consistent food and friendly service, a loyal local following, and repeat trade that does not depend on the current owner being present. The broker reports a distinct lunchtime advantage, standardised preparation methods and an affordable rent. The broker reports opportunities to build on the existing group bookings and roast pork pre-orders.
