Thriving island bar & cafe priced to sell

Sol Bar & Cafe has arguably the best outlook in Oneroa, at the top of the village with views looking down the coast and out across the bay. It's got a real Mediterranean feel - and that's the theme the current owners have captured and built their business on. As well as its elevated position, Sol has a sheltered courtyard at the back, which is really popular as it's family and dog friendly. The current owners have done all the hard work of building up a loyal and regular local clientele as well as developing a substantial visitor trade. They have particularly developed the upper bar which works brilliantly for private functions and special events. The bonus is that while it's humming the rest of the cafe can carry on uninterrupted. Equally, for an event out of normal hours there's no need to open up and staff the whole cafe to cater for it. In fact, this arrangement works so well that the current owners still have time to enjoy living on Waiheke because they don't need to offer evening dinners, even though the liquor licence runs to 11pm. Not surprisingly that comes in handy when they do choose to open a few nights a week during the busy summer months. The cafe's engine room is its well-set-up commercial kitchen with a full walk-in chiller, full-size prep kitchen and dry storage. In fact, you could easily turn the prep kitchen into a second kitchen.
On the equipment side, over the last two years the current owners have put in a new till system, installed two 58''TVs, a new fridge, and a new deli fridge. This is a very successful business, priced to sell. The current owners have worked to build the business over the last few years, so that it now has a very healthy turnover.
With the international trade gathering momentum again, this is a great time for someone to get in just as things are about to really take off. Especially as there is plenty of opportunity to extend the hours if you want and to grow the approximately 75 seat business even further.
