The numbers at a glance

About the business

An established burger and smokehouse in a family-oriented suburb of southern Perth, trading from the same purpose-fitted 154 sqm shop since 2017, in a modern retail centre alongside national brand co-tenants.

A modern American format done properly: smash burgers, fried chicken, house-made mac and cheese, and brisket and pulled pork smoked on the premises rather than bought in. The smoker is why this business does not compete on price with every burger shop in Perth, and it is not something a new entrant copies in a season.

Built for an owner-operator

Service runs under paid managers today. The owner draws no wage and works back office only. Step into the manager's role and that wage becomes your income.

What the shop earned in FY2026 (the year to 30 June 2026):

• As run today, with every manager paid: about $157,200
• One working owner covering the manager shifts: about $230,400
• A family covering staff shifts as well: estimated at about $340,200

At $650,000 plus stock, the price is about 2.8 times one working owner's earnings. One working owner's earnings over the last three years:

• FY2024: about $212,800
• FY2025: about $253,900
• FY2026: about $230,400

Five years of figures are available in the data room.

How the figures were prepared

They come from the business's Xero accounts on an accrual basis, starting from booked net profit, with every adjustment listed:

• Interest and depreciation added back (EBITDA basis)
• The owner's personal and related-party costs run through the business
• Personal purchases made through business suppliers, itemised payee by payee
• Wages for family members on the payroll who do not work in the store
• For the owner-operator figure: about 2,080 hours of manager shifts a working owner would cover, including super
• For the family figure: an estimate of the staff shifts a family would cover, capped at the business's actual non-family wage bill

Delivery app sales are counted net of commission. Every adjustment is itemised in the data room, and your accountant is welcome to review them in full.

Future growth

• Open a seventh day. The shop trades Tuesday to Sunday, so Mondays are available before anything else changes
• Grow catering and corporate. A standing weekday supply arrangement with a nearby institutional client began this year, a business lunch pack has just launched, and similar organisations nearby have never been approached
• Work the email list. A promotion to 7,700 inboxes lands as commission-free orders the same evening
• An owner-operator on the floor will lift sales and margins

Why it's for sale, and the terms

The owner's main career sits outside hospitality and now needs his full attention. That is the whole reason for sale.

• Price: $650,000 plus stock at value (about $8,000 at 30 June 2026)
• The premises are leased, and the lease is to be assigned
• Offered as a going concern with all plant, equipment, fit-out and goodwill. Company debts and director loans stay with the seller

Every figure is evidenced in a full data room for qualified buyers under a confidentiality agreement. The business name and location are disclosed on signing.
