Description
NAIC Code: 722310 – Food Service Contractor
Operating since 2016, this highly successful and profitable business has grown consistently every year
The company prepares and delivers nutritious, balanced, USDA-compliant meals … healthy meals that kids like and actually eat! They serve only fresh produce and prioritize locally grown fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
The business is operated out of a 3,500 sq. ft. leased commercial kitchen. There is a loading dock (flat, no curb), dry storage, cold storage, and frozen storage, with additional dry storage nearby. Within two blocks of the freeway. Monthly rent is $3,200 (all inclusive). Lease ends June 2027, but landlord is open to unlimited extensions.
Staff & Operations:
In addition to the full-time owner-operator, there are 10 part-time employees. They produce and deliver about 900 lunches daily to 24 schools. (Production will likely increase to at least 1,000 daily lunches starting with the Fall 2026 semester.) The staff works Monday-Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 12 noon, with school holidays and vacation days off.
Marketing & Opportunities:
The reputation is excellent. Growth has been 100% by word of mouth. Parents of children at public charter and private schools care deeply about food quality and are willing to pay a premium. These schools do not have on-site kitchens and need to work with a caterer. With creative marketing and proactive sales activities, a new owner can readily increase sales beyond the typical annual growth of 20% or more, year over year. The company is one of just a few lunch vendors on Oahu, and private school enrollment continues to grow. In addition, new preschools are starting up due to recent legislative action.
Financial Data:
75% of revenue comes from parents paying for lunches in advance for the month or semester; the other 25% comes from schools that pay directly for students’ lunches (billed at end of month, net 30).
Sales grow consistently, year-over-year:
2023 – $854,956
2024 – $1,063,460
2025 – $1,276, 137
Net Operating Income (calculated before add-backs for the owner’s salary and other compensation):
2023 – $94,000
2024 – $211,340
2025 – $240,729
Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (“SDE”) for 2024 and 2025 are estimated to be about $420,000 each year. (A detailed analysis can be shared with a serious buyer, subject to verification during due diligence.)
Training & Transition:
The seller will be available for a reasonable period to train and assist the new owner in taking over the business – specific terms to be negotiated.
The Transaction:
The seller is open to all reasonable offers and terms. The business (not the corporation) is being offered for an initial asking price of $999,000 (subject to increase if certain new business opportunities materialize in the summer of 2026). This includes all assets, tangible and intangible (including but not limited to FF&E, name, website, customer relationships, etc.), except it does not include cash, accounts receivable, or accounts payable*. (*Seller is responsible for A/P and payroll through the date of the Closing.) Nor does it include the corporate entity.

Turnkey Coastal San Diego Restaurant - Seller is Very Motivated
$ 130,000
CF : $ 64,277
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, turnkey restaurant for sale in a highly desirable coastal community of San Diego. Generating approximately $1M in annual revenue over the past four years, this San Diego restaurant has demonstrated consistent performance, strong local support, and stable cash flow. The restaurant is fully equipped for continued operations, featuring a grease trap, 10-foot hood, walk-in cooler, Type 41 beer and wine license, and a well-designed commercial kitchen layout. The premises include three separate spaces, 10 dedicated parking spots, and two restrooms, which may provide the opportunity for a future upgrade to a full liquor license (buyer to verify). The location also includes a permitted outdoor patio for beer and wine service, enhancing the customer experience in this coastal San Diego setting. The spacious layout allows for private events while maintaining regular dine-in, takeout, and restaurant delivery operations. This San Diego restaurant benefits from a loyal base of local patrons, strong foot traffic, and convenient parking for destination customers—an uncommon advantage for a coastal restaurant location. Catering services are currently offered but remain an underutilized growth opportunity, providing additional upside for a new owner looking to expand revenue streams in the San Diego restaurant market. The seller is motivated and has decided to pursue other interests, creating an excellent opportunity for an experienced restaurant operator or investor to acquire a proven, income-producing restaurant in San Diego and take it to the next level.
