Established Manchester Delivery Food Takeaway Business – £8,000 Weekly Sales – Flexible Relocation Opportunity

An opportunity to acquire an established, franchise-backed delivery food business serving Manchester’s student and city-centre catchment, with scope to extend trading hours and develop a physical takeaway or restaurant presence.

The business currently operates as a delivery-only ghost kitchen, trading 5pm–12am, with streamlined operations, an established presence on delivery platforms and strong social media marketing foundations already in place.

Financial highlights

Average weekly sales of approximately £8,000

Reported annual turnover of £420,000

Reported EBITDA of £40,000

Approximately 70% of sales through Uber Eats and 30% through other platforms

Established operation with franchise support

The business benefits from an established brand and product offering, repeat customers, delivery-platform visibility and a foundation for further social media marketing.

Franchise support includes operating procedures, consistent food specifications, quality control and ongoing menu development, alongside flexibility for local marketing.

The current delivery-only model keeps operations focused, without the staffing and customer-area requirements of a traditional restaurant.

Flexible kitchen setup and relocation potential

The concept uses a straightforward kitchen setup comprising fryers, refrigeration, freezer storage and preparation tables.

It offers potential to operate from a buyer’s existing commercial kitchen or a suitable dark-kitchen facility, allowing an existing operator to make better use of premises, equipment and staffing.

Significant growth potential

- Extend opening hours: Current trading is limited to 5pm–12am. A buyer could extend hours to align with their existing operations, introducing lunch and daytime trading and making fuller use of kitchen capacity.

- Develop a physical presence: A customer-facing takeaway or restaurant offers a significant opportunity to grow beyond delivery-platform sales. Walk-in trade, direct orders and collections would broaden the customer base, strengthen local brand awareness and improve margins by reducing reliance on platform commissions. 

- Build on existing marketing foundations: Strong social media marketing foundations are already in place, giving a buyer a great starting point for wider viral local campaigns, customer engagement and promotion of extended hours or a new physical location.

Further opportunities include:

- Improving delivery-platform performance and visibility

- Integrating the business into an existing kitchen to manage overheads

- Adding the concept to a wider delivery-brand portfolio

Suitable buyers

This opportunity may suit an existing takeaway or restaurant operator seeking an additional revenue stream, a delivery-kitchen business looking for an established concept, or a buyer wishing to develop the brand into a physical location.
