An outstanding opportunity to acquire an established and well-performing Hello Harry franchise in one of Cairns' most desirable hospitality locations. Located on the iconic Cairns Esplanade, this popular burger restaurant benefits from exposure to both local customers and the city's strong tourism market. With a full-time manager overseeing daily operations, established systems, multiple revenue streams and consistent sales growth, this business offers an attractive opportunity for an owner seeking a hospitality investment without the demands of full-time hands-on management. KEY BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Fully Managed Operation The restaurant is operated by a full-time manager who oversees day-to-day operations. The current owner spends approximately 15 hours per month on administration, making this an appealing opportunity for an investor or owner seeking a more flexible lifestyle. Strong Sales Performance FY2026 average weekly sales of approximately $31,600, significantly exceeding the franchise agreement's minimum performance benchmark of $15,000 per week (set in 2022 and adjusted annually for CPI). Consistent Sales Growth Turnover increased by approximately 5.9% from FY2025 to FY2026, demonstrating positive trading momentum. Effective Wage Management Total wages, including the full-time manager, represented approximately 27% of turnover in FY2026, reflecting a well-managed staffing structure. Prime Cairns Esplanade Location Positioned in a highly desirable waterfront precinct, the restaurant benefits from exposure to Cairns locals, domestic visitors and international tourists. Established Franchise Brand Operating under the recognised Hello Harry franchise, with an established menu, brand identity, operating systems and franchise support. Popular Food and Beverage Offering A well-established menu featuring burgers, sides and drinks, catering to a broad customer base. Multiple Revenue Streams Established dine-in, takeaway and delivery channels provide flexibility and access to different customer markets.
