BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
This beautiful cafe/ restaurant has been operating for 7 years in this Waikato town. Located on the main street and close to State Highway 1 this restaurant looks lovely from the outside and has a fantastic ambience inside.
The history of the building also lends atmosphere to the cafe experience while the rent is very reasonable.
As you step inside you have the sight and smell of the wood-fired pizza oven which dominates the kitchen. Warm and welcoming, there is seating for 40 inside and 30 outside (for those summer nights). There is also a comfortable nook area with couches and an open fireplace.
The restaurant opens from 5pm Tuesday to Saturday. The owners have made a lifestyle choice not to open on Sundays, Mondays and public holidays. There is also an opportunity for a new owner to open for lunches.
Although the pizza oven provides a real identity for the restaurant, pizzas would be only around 25% of meals sold. Currently the owners are not doing takeaway pizzas which could be another income stream. Excellent produce is sourced locally and there is little competition in town.
The owner and his partner work fulltime in the restaurant while there are 4 very reliable casuals employed (included a chef when necessary).
If you're passionate about good food and wine served in beautiful surroundings then this restaurant fits the bill.
