These are the strategic gaps we close — the ones that cost real money when they are ignored.
Coffee, food, catering, delivery — each has a different margin. Without breaking them out, you are flying blind on pricing and menu decisions.
Opening a second location is not doubling. It is a different structure, different risk, and different cash flow model. We build the feasibility before you sign the lease.
Staff meals, Christmas parties, and gift cards all have fringe benefits tax implications. Most café owners do not know this until they get an assessment.
Every deliverable is principal-signed. Not delegated, not templated — built for your situation.
You know your margins by line. Your structure is built for the next location, not just this one. And your tax is honest, defensible, and not leaving money on the table.
“They showed me my catering line was running at 38% margin while dine-in was at 4%. That one report changed how we run the business.”

Yes. Unlike some food items, hot beverages are not GST-free regardless of whether they are consumed on premises or taken away. All hot food and drinks are subject to GST. We ensure your POS is configured correctly so GST is calculated right at the point of sale.
Third-party delivery platforms settle weekly or fortnightly, net of their commission. We reconcile the gross sale, the commission expense, and the net settlement separately — so your revenue is not understated and your real delivery cost is visible.
Fit-out costs are generally depreciable over the effective life of each asset — not immediately deductible in full. However, some items qualify for instant asset write-off if they are under the threshold. Leasehold improvements have their own rules. We build a depreciation schedule that maximises your claim within the law.
