Lifestyle Catering Business – Over 30 Years of Goodwill & Strong Profits!
Rarely do opportunities of this calibre come to market.
This long-established catering business has been serving the Gold Coast for more than three decades, building a reputation for reliability, professionalism, and consistent quality. With a blue-chip client base of over 200 organisations—predominantly corporate clients and government departments—this business offers secure and predictable income streams, underpinned by repeat orders and long-standing relationships.
Unlike most hospitality ventures, this business operates on a Monday–Friday schedule, approximately 47 weeks per year. Evenings and weekends are only required for occasional events, making this a highly attractive option for operators seeking a rare combination of strong profits and lifestyle-friendly hours.
Key Highlights
Established 30+ years with an enviable reputation and proven track record.
Over 200 loyal recurring clients, including government and corporate organisations.
Cheap rent: approx. $2,160 per month (including GST and outgoings).
Secure lease until 2028 with an easy-going landlord.
Fully HACCP approved – all food safety systems in place.
Includes a 2023 Hyundai Staria Van (~22,000 km, purchase cost $45,000).
Simple menu and streamlined production processes ensure ease of operation.
Consistent financial performance, with further growth potential.
Operational Overview
The business is set up for efficiency. Orders are received in advance from a stable corporate client base, production is streamlined in a well-equipped kitchen, and deliveries are carried out using the near-new branded Hyundai van. With documented systems, established supplier relationships, and a seasoned workflow, the incoming owner will benefit from a smooth transition and immediate operational confidence.
Financial & Growth Potential
This is not a start-up or speculative venture. The business has demonstrated consistent year-on-year performance, supported by recurring demand. The lean overhead structure—particularly the very low rent—ensures profitability. For a motivated buyer, there are clear avenues for growth: expanding into online ordering, boardroom catering packages, corporate subscription meals, and selective weekend events could all significantly increase revenue with minimal extra overhead.
Who This Suits
Owner-operators seeking a profitable, manageable business with lifestyle balance.
Couples or partnerships wanting reliable income and flexible hours.
Investors seeking a bolt-on or diversified income stream.
Visa 188A applicants (with professional advice) looking for an established, compliant business.
