A rare opportunity to acquire one of San Diego’s only cooking class businesses of its kind. This highly profitable, fully systemized operation requires no prior culinary or restaurant experience to successfully own or manage. The business is currently experiencing record-breaking growth, generating approximately $180,000 in revenue and over $80,000 in profit in just the first two months of 2026.

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

Key Investment Highlights:
Super Profitable & Rapid Growth: The business generated $739,497 in gross sales in 2025 with a highly bankable, SBA Pre-approved, two-year average Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $252,882.

100% Pre-Paid Bookings: The business operates on a strict reservation-only, prepaid model. Because every seat is paid for in advance, the business reliably forecasts revenue months ahead of time, completely eliminates the financial risk of unpaid no-shows, and operates with virtually zero food waste.

Fully Systemized (No Restaurant Experience Needed): The kitchen operates without gas and utilizes pre-programmed "kitchen robots" that store all recipes and automate the cooking processes. This "idiot-proof" system is so structured that a new cook with zero prior experience can be fully trained in just one to two weeks. Class instructors do not need to be chefs; they follow heavily documented, step-by-step scripts and timelines, allowing them to be fully trained in less than a month.

Semi-Absentee Ownership: Because the day-to-day operations are heavily documented and highly predictable, the current owner works only 20 to 25 hours per week focusing purely on high-level strategy. A dedicated salaried manager handles vendor relations, payroll, and local oversight. The operations are so seamless that the owners recently took a month-long trip to Japan while the business continued to run and generate revenue without them.

AI-Automated Administration: A custom-trained AI booking agent handles 90% of the administrative workload. For just $25 a month, this AI answers customer inquiries, negotiates corporate contracts, processes dietary restrictions, and finalizes bookings—effectively replacing a full-time human manager. Also, 96% of all bookings are captured directly on the business's proprietary website, bypassing expensive third-party commission fees.

Favorable Lease & Asset-Light Operations: The facility is secured with a highly favorable lease locked at just $8,000 per month until 2032. Instead of relying on expensive commercial equipment that causes operational downtime when broken, the business uses a "redundant" equipment strategy. They utilize easily replaceable $15 manual machines and $20 induction plates from Home Depot, instantly swapping them out for backups if they break.

Reason for Selling: The current owners operate under an E-2 Investor Visa and have completed their investment cycle. They are ready to transition out and will offer a comprehensive transition and training period to ensure the buyer's absolute success.
