Business Description

This is a 21-year-old, full-service off-premise catering company serving corporate and social clients throughout the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area. The business plans and executes events end-to-end — menu design, food and beverage production, event staffing, bartending for events serving alcohol, and coordination of rentals and florals — covering everything from simple drop-off catering to fully staffed, white-glove events. Revenue splits roughly 50% food and beverage, 45% staffing/service, and 5% other, giving the business multiple income streams rather than relying on food sales alone.

The client base skews toward professionals and decision-makers with discretionary budget — corporate event planners and individuals planning weddings and private celebrations — built primarily through repeat business, referrals, and word of mouth rather than paid advertising. The company operates from a lean, off-premise commercial kitchen (no dine-in overhead), is run by a small core team (2 full-time, 10 part-time staff, plus a pool of trusted on-call contractors), and has stayed profitable through two major economic downturns.

The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment, trained staff willing to stay on through the transition, and a seller open to a training period and ongoing consulting support post-close — a turnkey opportunity for a buyer to step into an established, cash-flowing operation.
