What a great location - stunningly situated in the centre of Devonport Pier.

Kintamani cafe is superbly placed on Devonport Wharf in the centre of the historic and very picturesque, naval town of Devonport.

The Wharf houses the local ferry terminal with regular ferries to Auckland City, Waiheke and Rangitoto Island.

Scenic Devonport regularly hosts festivals and events which attract many visitors all year round.

The Venue

Kintamani Cafe is a well known and much frequented local cafe has a spectacular ocean view. The current layout seats 12 but the new owner can increase the seating accordingly. At present the cafe caters for light, freshly prepared meals, coffees and homemade cakes and pastries.

The Business

The current trading hours are early morning until 5pm - 6pm, seven days a week. The current owner has built up a loyal and regular clientele with the Auckland City ferry foot traffic providing much business during the week. The weekends and many cruise ships bring lots of tourists all year round to the lovely town of Devonport.

The rent is a very reasonable $850 per month inclusive of GST and includes all electricity and water. The lease is currently 2 years with a further right of renewal in 2011. The landlord is North Shore City Council who are very pleasant and flexible to deal with.

Current monthly summer sales are $10,000 -$12,000 which have quadrupled since the owner took over the business 18 months ago. Sales from June to November average $7,000 - $9,000 per month. Coffee bean sales are up to 3 kilos weekly with much scope to increase should the new owner choose to dedicate a barista to the very bouyant passing coffee trade - something the current owner is unable to do.

The business is just `ticking over` with the solo, hands-on owner cooking, serving and managing all aspects of the business and thus is unable to grow the business due to lack of manpower. Therefore this would be a great opportunity as the genuine vendor is relocating and thus offers her business at a very affordable price.

Kintamani Cafe has a visible upside, needing operators with energy, passion, vision and flair and the ability to recognise the opportunity to significantly increase revenue. Outside catering is another opportunity which could be explored. With low rent, low overheads and being a simple operation, Kintamani Cafe represents the ideal business to enter the thriving Devonport cafe market with low ongoing capital in time for the Rugby World Cup in 2011.

The small kitchen is fully equipped with a recently installed new range hood and commercial Electrolux cooker. The back door out of the cafe`s kitchen leads directly onto the old wooden wharf with views to Mission Bay and Waiheke - perfect for your well earned tea break !

Business Broker Comments

This is without doubt an excellent opportunity for either a first time cafe buyer or a capable and experienced operator or working couple to build on the reputation established by the current owner. There is much scope to create a dynamic new operation, with clever marketing, new signage and advertising and with the new buyer being able to choose which type of food style they wish to serve as long as it compliments the other hospitality outlets within the Wharf complex.

So this committed vendor is ready to sell and offers you the chance to take this business to the next level in a stunning location.
