An exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly bankable, turnkey culinary experience and event business located in a premium San Diego neighborhood.

Top reasons to acquire:

-Turnkey, Highly Bankable Opportunity: Premium San Diego culinary experience and event business with strong SBA financing potential and pre-qualified lender interest.

-Proven, High-Margin Business Model: Interactive cooking classes, now generating over ~90% of total revenue.

-Predictable, Low-Risk Revenue Stream: Operates on a prepaid, reservation-only model—eliminating no-shows, ensuring forward visibility on cash flow, and minimizing food waste.

-Exceptional Financial Performance: Experiencing record growth with ~$140K in revenue and ~$85K in profit in the first two months of 2026 alone.

-Pristine, Audit-Backed Financials: No personal add-backs due to E-2 visa structure; clean, state-audited books make the business highly attractive and financeable (potentially ~10% down SBA).

Financial Performance:
2023: Revenue $619K - SDE $50K
2024: Revenue $702K - SDE $257K
2025: Revenue $739K - SDE $248K

Key Highlights:
-Fully Automated Administration: A proprietary, custom-built AI booking agent handles 90% of the administrative workload. It answers customer inquiries, negotiates corporate contracts, and finalizes bookings, effectively replacing a human administrative manager for just $25 a month.

-Direct-to-Consumer Marketing Engine: The owners built a proprietary booking platform that captures ~96% of reservations directly through their website, completely avoiding the expensive 20-25% commission fees typical of third-party platforms.

-"Idiot-Proof," Turnkey Operations: The kitchen is fully electric and utilizes pre-programmed "kitchen robots" (Thermomix) that store all recipes and automate cooking steps. Class instructors follow a rigidly documented script, allowing new staff with zero prior experience to be fully trained and independent in just one to four weeks.

-Asset-Light & "Redundant" Equipment: Instead of relying on expensive commercial equipment that causes costly operational downtime when broken, the business uses easily replaceable manual machines and induction plates. If a machine breaks, it is instantly swapped out for a backup.

-Low Owner Involvement: Because operations are heavily systematized and day-to-day tasks are handled by a dedicated manager, the current owner works only 20 to 25 hours per week focusing purely on high-level strategy and marketing.

-Highly Favorable Lease: The business operates out of a beautifully decorated, transferrable facility with a lease locked in at an incredibly favorable $8,000 per month until 2032. The location also boasts excellent, easily accessible parking.

Growth & Expansion:
While the current location is organically maxed out, the heavily documented formulas, custom AI software, and automated workflows make this concept primed for expansion. A new owner could easily duplicate this exact formula into additional lucrative markets across Southern California, such as Orange County or Los Angeles.

Reason for Selling:
The owners have completed their E-2 Visa investment cycle and are ready to transition out to pursue other ventures. They are committed to the future success of the business and are open to negotiating a comprehensive transition and training period for the new owner.
