Support & Training
The sellers will provide operational training and transition assistance to support continuity following the acquisition. Training will cover day-to-day bakery and café operations, purchasing, staffing, recipes, operating systems and established business procedures. The sellers will also facilitate introductions to key vendors and provide ongoing transition support. Additional consulting or employment arrangements may be negotiated following the initial transition period.
Expansion Potential
The business currently operates limited daytime hours, having previously maintained an extended operating schedule. Ownership estimates that returning to pre-COVID operating hours could potentially increase annual revenue by 30%–50%. This represents a growth projection rather than existing revenue. Additional opportunities include introducing evening dining or happy hour service, increasing pastry production, developing catering services and expanding grab-and-go offerings. A new owner could also introduce additional specialty retail products, increase beer and wine sales where permitted, and strengthen digital marketing and customer engagement. The business currently undertakes minimal active marketing, providing further scope to expand brand awareness and customer reach.
