PASSIVE INCOME CAFÉ – PROFITABLE, FULLY MANAGED IN MAJOR GOLD COAST RETAIL & TOURIST HUB – IDEAL FOR INVESTOR OR BUSINESS-MIGRATION BUYER

A rare opportunity to acquire a fully managed and profitable café franchise located in one of the Gold Coast's busiest retail and tourism precincts. Established from scratch in April 2023 by the current owner, this café is operated entirely by a professional team under the guidance of a trusted and reputable franchisor. The owner visits only occasionally for staff relief — it's truly a "set and forget" investment. Selling due to personal reasons.

This café sits within a major retail destination renowned for its constant foot traffic from both locals and interstate and international visitors. Its high visibility, consistent customer flow, and strong brand backing deliver excellent performance and peace of mind for an incoming owner. The franchisor holds the head lease, giving the business added stability and favourable rental terms. The franchise agreement runs for six years from 2023 and can be extended.

Weekly sales average around $16,000 (with low weeks around $14,000 and highs exceeding $20,000). The full-time manager earns $75,000 plus super, the assistant manager $67,000 plus super, and the total wage bill including cook and casual staff is $4,400 per week. Rent is $2,800 weekly (including electricity, water, GST, promotions and outgoings). Cost of goods sits at 30% of sales (~$4,800), with a 9% franchise fee (~$1,500 per week) and minor overheads (~$500). This structure yields a consistent weekly net profit of approximately $2,000 — about $105,000 per year — and, including the owner's wage and superannuation, a total annual benefit of around $150,000.

At an asking price of $190,000, this business offers exceptional value for a fully managed café backed by a strong national franchise in a prime tourist location. The return-on-investment potential is attractive for investors, business-migration buyers, or those seeking a secure income stream without day-to-day involvement.
