Cafe For Sale in QLD

​A rare opportunity is now available to acquire one of Brisbane Southside's highest-performing Kids-Playground Cafés — a large-format, modern, family-entertainment venue strategically positioned in one of the busiest multicultural retail corridors in the region. With approximately 500sqm of well-designed space, this impressive café and indoor-play concept offers a unique combination of dining, children's entertainment, large-scale events, and community activities — all under one roof.

Surrounded by dense residential catchments and a strong Asian-family demographic, the business enjoys exceptional weekday foot traffic and extremely strong weekend peaks. Its purpose-built indoor playground provides a safe, engaging environment for toddlers and young children, while the stylish café delivers a welcoming space for parents, social groups, and families seeking quality food, comfort, and convenience. The large venue size enables regular hosting of birthday parties, private functions, themed events, hobby classes, and school-holiday programs — a major competitive advantage rarely found in similar hospitality venues.

The current owner, who took over in May 2024, operates the business on a semi-managed basis. A trained, stable team manages most of the day-to-day operations, while the owner focuses mainly on marketing, administration, and general oversight. This operational structure delivers excellent work-life balance and makes the business suitable for investors, families, or operators who prefer not to work full-time on site.

The café currently generates average weekly sales of approximately $17,000, supported by transparent financials and steady trade across both weekdays and weekends. Annual wages total $249,423 (approx. $4,800/week) including the owner's working contribution. The business achieves over $100,000 in net profit, with total Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) around $160,000 — an attractive return in a booming niche of the hospitality market.

A key strength of this business is its multi-stream revenue model, which includes café dining, playground entry fees, birthday parties, group bookings, hobby classes, themed events, private venue hire, and catering. This diversified income structure provides resilience, increases the average customer spend, and ensures full utilisation of the large 500sqm footprint. The current rent of $3,300/week (incl. GST) offers strong occupancy value for a venue of this scale, secured under a lease to 2027 with a further five-year option.

The fit-out is modern, stylish, and highly functional, with a custom-built playground and flexible event zones capable of hosting multiple parties simultaneously. Strong online reviews, high community engagement, and a loyal family customer base underpin consistent performance throughout the year.

Significant upside remains available for a growth-minded operator: expanding premium party packages, increasing weekly classes, leveraging Chinese-language digital platforms (WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Facebook Groups), extending trading hours, and offering more structured school-holiday programs. With its size, layout, and proven concept, the business can also be scaled into a multi-site model or prepared for future franchising.

This is an exceptional opportunity for investor-operators, family buyers, hospitality professionals, and first-time business owners seeking a profitable, lifestyle-friendly, and in-demand business with enormous long-term potential.
