A Few Important Things to Know:
This is a café bar setup, not a full chef-run venue. The kitchen is compact and well-equipped, with a menu that's been intentionally designed for quick, easy service and manageable staffing.
You don't need to be a chef to run this business as it's currently operating but a qualified chef or experienced operator may see ways to expand the offering further.
Current weekly sales average $7K-$8K (can be easily increased by increasing trading hours)
Profitability is not strong at present, and the business has been priced accordingly
A hands-on owner is needed to take control of daily operations, staffing, and costs
*Please Read Before Enquiring:
This business is priced at asset value you're buying a fully fitted, licensed café/bar for less than the cost of setting one up from scratch. The top-line weekly sales (approx. $7K-$8K) are simply a bonus, showing what the business currently generates with limited input.
This is not suitable for buyers requiring full Profit & Loss statements or third-party finance.
To build a venue like this in West End would easily cost $100K+ and that's before you open the doors or make a single sale.
If you're expecting a fully profitable, hands-off business for $60K, this is not the listing for you.
But if you're a practical owner-operator who:
*Knows how to run a lean, efficient venue
*Can take control of staffing and margins
*Understands the value of location, setup, and consistent weekly sales
-then this is a rare, low-risk opportunity to take over an established licensed venue with loads of character and upside.
