Live-Fire Mediterranean Catering in Bali Looking to Sell

Business Overview

A live-fire Mediterranean catering concept in Bali, launched in 2025. Chefs cook on a custom open-fire plancha at villas, weddings and private events across the island, serving family-style menus built on organic, local ingredients. Clients book more than a meal: a chef cooking over fire in front of their guests, generous sharing plates, Mediterranean flavours and attentive table service. It is a format few caterers on the island offer.

Performance & Traction

The business generated IDR 520 million in annualized revenue, with an average net margin of around 40% per event after food, event staff, transport and rentals, and holds a 5-star Google rating. Clients range from destination weddings and corporate groups to retreats and private birthdays, with menus from IDR 650k to 1.2 million per guest. Growth has come almost entirely from word of mouth, planner referrals, Google and Instagram, with minimal marketing spend. Since September, the business has received several inquiries representing approximately IDR 370 million in estimated value.

Opportunity & Timing

The founder has taken on a full-time role and is focusing on family, so activity is paused pending handover while inquiries keep coming in. This suits an existing caterer, a restaurant expanding into events, an event company or a hospitality group: a ready-made premium live-fire offer that can be operational within weeks. With minimal marketing to date, there is clear room for growth under an owner with sales capacity.

Deal Offering

100% of the business for IDR 700 million, including the brand, website, Instagram and Google profile, an exclusive recipe licence, full SOPs, supplier knowledge and a complete event kit for up to 60 guests built around the custom plancha trailer.

Optional: takeover of a fully equipped prep kitchen in the Seseh area (45 sqm indoor, 15 sqm terrace, side parking), renovated and ready to operate, with fridges, freezer, stove, exhaust, stainless prep tables, air conditioning, CCTV, hot-water sink and separate toilet. Available for IDR 500 million for a 3-year lease, extendable.

Transition & Handover

The founder will provide hands-on training of the buyer’s team on the plancha, recipes and event execution, including shadowing at 2 live events, plus personal introductions to wedding planners and repeat clients.
