Cafe/Takeaway Business for sale/Multi-Site Potential SV1613

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 of approximately $77,000 p.a. from a modest ~$175,000 turnover, proving strong profitability at the individual site level.

KEY FINANCIALS 

-          Annual Turnover: Approximately $175,000

-          Adjusted Net Profit (Owner-Operator): Approximately $77,000 p.a.

-          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.
