Escape to Your Dream: Once-in-a-Lifetime Chance to Own This Incredible Buiness

BUSINESS SUMMARY

Nestled in Queensland’s beautiful Mackay Region, this licensed hospitality business offers the best of both worlds: proximity to the coast and the charm of country living. A much-loved hub for locals and a welcoming stop for travellers, this cafe is more than a business - it’s a lifestyle.

Lovingly renovated, professionally branded, and efficiently systematised, the business has been crafted with intention, heart, and excellence. The fully equipped commercial kitchen is designed for high-volume service and optimal workflow, eliminating the need for a full-time chef - ideal for owner-operators or minimal staff management.

The engineered front-of-house workstations are designed for up to 100kg+ per week (currently at 40kg/week on a single
blend) with efficient and effortless workflow including an automated milk steamer, separated steam wands, grind-by-weight grinder, PUQ press and more.

The cafe's atmosphere fosters meaningful connection, centred around the timeless ritual of sharing a meal. It’s a cherished destination for morning coffee regulars and weekend family diners alike.

This is a turn-key opportunity with streamlined operations, including:
• Seamless onboarding systems
• Integrated API software including menu costing and pricing
• Comprehensive training procedures. It presents a truly exciting investment with consistently high turnover and low daily operational effort.

Work-Life Balance with Room to Grow:
Currently offering afternoons and Sundays off, there's vast potential to increase revenue simply by extending hours and opening Sundays.

Why We’re Selling:
The current owners adore this space but are relocating. They're seeking the right new custodians to carry the torch - and are willing to discount for the perfect fit. Express your interest to see if that’s you.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
• Events & Catering: Fully equipped for functions, corporate events, and live music (Currently bringing in ~$50K/year with the potential to scale to $500K+).
• Coffee Expansion: Introduce a second blend or speciality line to attract a broader market.
• Bar Potential: Currently under utilised - just $21K/year in bottled drinks. An unused chilled keg tap offers an exciting opportunity to boost evening and     event alcohol sales.

• Dinner Service: High local demand - adding just $2K revenue per night across 6 evenings could add ~$600K annually.
• Sunday Trading: Open Sundays and add up to $360K/year with existing hours and staff (calculated from Saturday trade).
• QR Code Ordering: Increase efficiency and reduce labour costs.
• Menu Refresh: Easily update offerings to attract new demographics.
• Outdoor Space Expansion: From the current 80 seats to 200+ with the ample outdoor space - potential to
double seating and revenue.

STRENGTHS
• Strong, consistent turnover
• Beautifully designed indoor and outdoor dining areas
• Deeply rooted reputation within the community

ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
• Targeted marketing and advertising to boost visibility
• Capitalise on increasing event and catering leads
• Extend trading hours to unlock significant revenue

LIFESTYLE + ACCOMMODATION BONUS
Available with the business is an attached residence - perfect for owner-operators or staff housing. Enjoy the convenience and work-life integration this rare setup offers.
Optional Freehold Purchase:
Secure the property, including a charming Queenslander home with a backyard, for just $750,000. A unique opportunity to own both a home and a thriving business. (Lease option also available).

The owners are committed to a smooth handover and are happy to assist during transition.
