Description
Letterbox Restaurant is a well-presented boutique style restaurant which has an established loyal clientele. Situated in the centre of Newtonmore this charming business is presented in pristine condition with immaculate décor throughout. The appealing property has a delightful warm ambience as soon as you enter the premises. This well-developed business offers an excellent range of modern and traditional high quality Scottish cuisine utilising a range of locally sourced products. The quality of catering is supported by a superb standard of customer care focusing on a non-intrusive service style but with attention to detail in every respect.
The business comes to the market ready to operate with no requirement for further significant capital investment. Letterbox Restaurant became an established restaurant venue in 2010. The existing trading model has two income streams being liquor and food sales. The current wine list is varied and meets the needs of a wide range of customers and tastes. In addition, a good selection of bottled beer is offered. The current restricted trading patterns have been set to suit the proprietor’s personal preferences. The business has restricted opening hours undertaking evening meal service for only 3 months in the summer. The development of a cafe / lunch trade during the day would undoubtedly increase sales and profitability. In the remaining months the business currently is closed, so there is scope to extend trading as well. In addition, it should be possible to increase the number of covers within the restaurant.
Trade
The business trades profitably without exceeding the VAT threshold from restricted opening hours. Full accounting information will be made available to seriously interested parties subsequent to viewing.
