Cafe/Takeaway Business for sale/Multi-Site Potential

Offered to the market for the first time in many years, this long-established takeaway business represents both a highly lucrative standalone operation and a prime turnkey concept ready for franchise expansion.

Trading from a compact, high-exposure shopfront in a premier inner-Melbourne retail strip, the business enjoys heavy foot traffic, high street visibility, and an exceptionally loyal local customer base.

WHY THIS IS A PRIME FRANCHISE & MULTI-SITE PROTOTYPE

This streamlined operation delivers the exact fundamentals that successful food franchise networks are built on:

• Ultra-Efficient Footprint business model with an outstanding ~67% gross margin and low overheads ($30,000 p.a. rent including all outgoings).
• Simple, Systematised Operations with a focused, high-demand product range with uncomplicated operational systems that require no specialist culinary qualifications or complex kitchen setups
• Minimal Staffing Overhead: no chef or qualified kitchen staff required, which eliminates the cost, the turnover and the day-to-day headache of recruiting, training, rostering and managing a large team, the single biggest source of stress and margin erosion in most hospitality businesses.
• Easily Replicable Model: Low labour dependency and minimal staffing structure make this concept remarkably straightforward to document, train, and scale across multiple territories.
• Strong Unit Economics: Consistently generates an impressive owner-operator return, proving strong profitability at the individual site level.

KEY FINANCIALS

• Gross Profit Margin: Approximately 67%
• Rent: Low overhead at $30,000 per annum including all outgoings
• Stability: Consistent trading performance across FY2025 and FY2026

KEY INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

• Established brand with years of local goodwill and strong brand recognition.
• Compact footprint keeping occupancy costs and utility bills low.
• Fully operational turnkey setup with established, reliable supplier accounts.
• Ideal foundation for an ambitious entrepreneur looking to pilot a franchise network, or an owner-operator/couple seeking steady, reliable single-site cash flow.
• Comprehensive vendor handover and training period provided for a smooth transition.

SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH & SCALING LEVERS

• Franchise Rollout: Position the existing flagship store as the training hub and prototype to license or franchise across Victoria and beyond.
• Digital & Online Delivery Untapped: Currently has zero presence on major delivery platforms (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Menulog) and no online ordering system, offering immediate revenue upside.
• Untapped Marketing Potential: Total advertising expenditure was under $50 in the last financial year—word-of-mouth alone has driven steady trade, leaving digital and local marketing entirely unexploited.
• Trading Hours & Menu Expansion: Scope to extend trading days/hours and introduce complementary high-margin product lines.
