“TWO VENUES. ONE KITCHEN. ONE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY.”
Dorys Takeaway & Kelp Restaurant — A Unique Two-Venue Hospitality Opportunity
After five years of ownership, we are excited to offer Dorys Takeaway and Kelp Restaurant to the market.
Located in the heart of Ballina, this is a unique opportunity to acquire two established hospitality businesses operating from one purpose-built commercial kitchen, creating a highly efficient and flexible business model.
We purchased Dorys five years ago and have since completely renovated and upgraded the kitchen and facilities. Three years ago, we expanded the operation by opening Kelp Restaurant, creating two distinct venues that complement each other while sharing the same kitchen, equipment, staff and operational infrastructure.
The “two venues, one kitchen” model provides significant operational advantages, allowing equipment, staff and resources to be shared across both businesses while each venue maintains its own identity, offering and customer experience.
Dorys Takeaway is a well-established, approachable takeaway business with a strong local following, while Kelp Restaurant offers a modern coastal dining experience with a focus on quality food, drinks and warm hospitality.
Both businesses are established and operational, providing a new owner with the opportunity to step into an existing hospitality operation rather than starting from scratch.
After five years of building, renovating and developing these businesses, changing family circumstances mean it is now time for us to step away.
We are looking for the next owner to take the reins, bring their own ideas and vision, and continue building on what has already been created.
A genuine opportunity to acquire two complementary hospitality businesses, established infrastructure and a proven shared-kitchen model in one of Ballina’s growing hospitality precincts.
