Who could this suit?
Ideal for a hospitality professional ready to own their first business, with an established brand, loyal clients and franchisor support already in place.

Strong, well-spread forward bookings
- Bookings average $6,100 in revenue at around $46 per head, with 63% of booked value in the North and 37% in the South.

Loyal clients who return year after year
- Many corporate, private and community clients rebook annually, providing a dependable base of repeat business.

Bookings secured well in advance
- Customers typically book months ahead, giving predictable income and time to plan staffing, stock and scheduling.

Operate from anywhere in Tasmania
- The business is currently based out of Hobart, but a new owner could run it from Launceston or almost anywhere in the state of Tasmania.

Tasmania's largest catering operation
- With capacity for up to 1,200 guests, the business can service large functions beyond the practical reach of competitors.

Family-owned and operated since 1989
- The current owner's parents acquired the Hobart franchise in 1989, and the owner took it over in 2001, adding the Launceston and Devonport franchises in 2003. The result is a proven, state-wide operation with repeat customers.

Systemised franchise with marketing support
- Established systems, brand recognition and franchisor support, with Head Office contributing 50% of selected advertising costs. No chef qualifications required.

Simple, onsite food preparation
- Virtually all preparation and cooking takes place at the venue, with very little required beforehand.

Low fixed overheads
- A mobile, home-based model without the rent and occupancy costs of conventional hospitality venues, and a franchise fee of only $2.20 per person served (includes advertising levy).

Choose when you work
- You decide which bookings to accept, so you can schedule work around your lifestyle and take time off when it suits you.

Can be run by one owner or manager
- The core duties currently shared by the two owners (enquiries, administration, collecting stock, preparing equipment and organising jobs) can be handled by a single owner or manager. You can attend functions personally or rely on casual staff, engaged according to the size of each event. There is scope for a new owner to build the casual staff pool to support continued growth.

Australia's top-performing Coast to Coast franchise
- According to Coast to Coast, when operating at peak levels, no other franchise in its national network generates the same level of revenue.

2010 Hyundai iLoad, 2000 Ford Transit SWB and 2012 Ford Transit LWB
- Extensive catering equipment with a written-down value of $77,000
