Café Operator / Entrepreneur – Bark & Brew
Location: Inside VetLand Hospital Hub, Mitcham VIC (Close to Antonio Park Primary School & F45 Training)
Deal Structure: Profit Share OR Independent Operator / Work For Yourself
We have a fully equipped startup café sitting right inside VetLand, and we need an ambitious operator to step in and run the show. The gear is set up, the machine is warm, and you have an instant, multi-stream customer base walking through the doors every single hour.
Choose Your Structure
We don't want a standard manager; we want a true business partner. Whether you want to run this on a profit-sharing model or operate it entirely as your own business, the door is open. We are completely flexible on the arrangement and will figure out the exact mechanics with the right candidate.
Why This Is a Rare Prospect
- Zero Capital Setup: Walk into a fully outfitted venue without massive startup loans or fit-out costs. A commercial espresso machine is on the counter waiting for you.
- Triple-Stream Foot Traffic: Tap into three distinct, high-volume customer bases during peak hours:
- The Hospital Hub: Steady daytime and emergency traffic from VetLand's staff, specialists, and visiting pet parents.
- The Gym Crowd:
Tap into local fitness enthusiasts at F45 Training—perfect for early morning pre/post-workout coffees, protein shakes, and quick grabs.
- The School Run: Positioned right along the corridor for Antonio Park Primary School, capturing the morning drop-off rush and afternoon pick-up traffic.
- Prime Trading Hours: Focus purely on maximizing high-volume peak daytime hours when the local community is busiest.
- Total Menu Freedom: Full autonomy to curate the menu, build hospital staff loyalty perks, launch fitness snacks, or cater to school parents—and keep the financial upside.
What We’re Looking For
- Entrepreneurial Drive: You pull excellent shots and deliver top-tier hospitality, but you also think like an owner—constantly tracking margins, average spend, and growth.
- Systems & Tech Savvy: Comfortable with or ready to master Square POS, HubSpot CRM, smart inventory control, and rostering.
- A Growth Mindset: You look at three distinct customer streams and ask: How do we make Bark & Brew their non-negotiable daily stop?
Next Steps Forget formal cover letters and standard résumés. Send us a quick message with your background in hospitality, your experience with POS/systems, and how you’d prefer to structure the deal (Profit Share or Running It Yourself). Let's have an informal chat.
