Caterer of Daily School Lunches on Oahu, Hawaii

Honolulu, Honolulu County, HI, US

This Oahu catering service specializes in preparing and delivering daily healthy school lunches from a central commercial kitchen to over 20 public charter and private schools, including preschools. NAIC Code: 722310 – Food Service Contractor Operating since 2016, this highly successful and profitable business has grown consistently every year The company prepares and delivers nutritious, balanced, USDA-compliant meals … healthy meals that kids like and actually eat! They serve only fresh produce and prioritize locally grown fruits and vegetables whenever possible. The business is operated out of a 3,500 sq. ft. leased commercial kitchen. There is a loading dock (flat, no curb), dry storage, cold storage, and frozen storage, with additional dry storage nearby. Within two blocks of the freeway. Monthly rent is $3,200 (all inclusive). Lease ends June 2027, but landlord is open to unlimited extensions. Staff & Operations: In addition to the full-time owner-operator, there are 10 part-time employees. They produce and deliver about 900 lunches daily to 24 schools. (Production will likely increase to at least 1,000 daily lunches starting with the Fall 2026 semester.) The staff works Monday-Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 12 noon, with school holidays and vacation days off. Marketing & Opportunities: The reputation is excellent. Growth has been 100% by word of mouth. Parents of children at public charter and private schools care deeply about food quality and are willing to pay a premium. These schools do not have on-site kitchens and need to work with a caterer. With creative marketing and proactive sales activities, a new owner can readily increase sales beyond the typical annual growth of 20% or more, year over year. The company is one of just a few lunch vendors on Oahu, and private school enrollment continues to grow. In addition, new preschools are starting up due to recent legislative action. Financial Data: 75% of revenue comes from parents paying for lunches in advance for the month or semester; the other 25% comes from schools that pay directly for students’ lunches (billed at end of month, net 30).

The business (not the corporation) is being offered for an initial asking price of $999,000 (subject to increase if certain new business opportunities materialize in the summer of 2026). This includes all assets, tangible and intangible (including but not limited to FF&E, name, website, customer relationships, etc.), except it does not include cash, accounts receivable, or accounts payable*.

What to know about manufacturing business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating manufacturing business acquisitions.

Inspect the equipment and the capex runway

Tour the floor with someone who knows the machines. Ask the age, maintenance history, and remaining life of every major asset, and budget for the replacements the seller has been deferring.

Quantify customer concentration

Many manufacturers have one or two accounts that make up most of revenue. Get a customer-by-customer breakdown and understand the switching costs that keep them.

Understand the working-capital cycle

Inventory, work-in-process, and receivables tie up real cash. Establish how much working capital the business needs to run and whether it is included in the deal.

Assess workforce and key-person risk

Skilled operators and a plant manager are often hard to replace in the short run. Identify who holds the know-how and what retention looks like after close.

Check environmental and regulatory exposure

Process chemicals, waste streams, and older facilities carry liability. A Phase I assessment and a review of permits and safety history are standard.

Separate real margins from owner add-backs

Scrutinize the add-backs in seller discretionary earnings. Equipment leases, related-party rent, and deferred maintenance can make the margins look better than they are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Commonly yes. Tangible assets help with collateral, and qualification depends on clean financials, verifiable returns, and a seller who meets program requirements on the business side. Additionally, if real estate makes up a large component of the business's value, you can use a SBA 504 loan to finance the transaction.
