Invest in Martindale Grill & River Club
A multi-revenue hospitality opportunity in Martindale, Texas.
Martindale Grill & River Club is being built as more than a traditional restaurant. The goal is to use one kitchen, one management team, and one hospitality brand to support multiple revenue streams.
We are currently seeking a $300,000 investment to help launch, staff, and grow the business into a restaurant, catering, wholesale, and corporate meal platform.
The Goal
The goal is not simply to open a restaurant.
The goal is to build a hospitality platform.
Martindale Grill & River Club will be built around four main revenue channels:
Restaurant dinner service
Gold Epicure off-site catering
Wholesale morning food production
Corporate meal catering
This model allows us to create revenue throughout the week, not just during restaurant dinner service.
The Investment Opportunity
We are seeking a $300,000 investment to help launch and grow Martindale Grill & River Club.
This investment will give the business the runway needed to open properly, build a strong team, train staff, develop systems, pursue larger catering accounts, and grow into a multi-channel hospitality operation.
The investment will be used for staffing, training, opening inventory, kitchen upgrades, buildout needs, branding, sales outreach, and working capital.
Restaurant Revenue
The restaurant has a strong historical reference point.
When the space previously operated as Duett’s, food and beverage revenue was approximately $50,000 per month.
Our initial restaurant model is intentionally conservative. We plan to begin with dinner service four nights per week and use that prior sales level as a realistic foundation for projected restaurant revenue.
Projected restaurant food and beverage sales once stabilized:
$50,000–$60,000 per month
Existing Catering Revenue
Martindale Grill & River Club will also be connected to Gold Epicure Hospitality, an established catering and hospitality company.
Gold Epicure already has approximately $300,000 in off-site catering booked for 2027.
This creates meaningful revenue that is already in motion before additional restaurant, wholesale, and corporate sales are fully developed.
Projected monthly catering revenue from existing booked business:
Approximately $25,000 per month
Wholesale Morning Program
We also plan to use the kitchen during morning and daytime hours to create revenue outside of dinner service.
This program will focus on wholesale breakfast items for Austin-area coffee shops, including pastries, kolaches, breakfast tacos, and grab-and-go morning items.
We already have unofficial early interest from Flattrack Coffee and Palomino Coffee. These accounts alone represent a potential starting point of approximately $3,000 per week in morning sales.
Projected monthly wholesale revenue:
Approximately $13,000 per month
Corporate Meal Catering
A fourth revenue opportunity is corporate staff meal catering for Austin-area companies.
Many companies need reliable, high-quality meals for teams, meetings, trainings, and staff lunches.
We believe this could become a strong recurring revenue channel once sales, staffing, and production systems are in place.
Projected corporate meal catering revenue:
Approximately $25,000 per month
Stabilized Monthly Revenue Potential
At stabilization, the combined business model has the potential to generate approximately:
$113,000–$123,000 per month in gross revenue
This includes revenue from:
Restaurant service: $50,000–$60,000 per month
Gold Epicure catering: $25,000 per month
Wholesale morning sales: $13,000 per month
Corporate meal catering: $25,000 per month
Projected annualized gross revenue potential:
Approximately $1.35M–$1.47M
Conservative 12-Month Projection
The first year is projected as a ramp-up year. Revenue is expected to grow as staff is hired, trained, and new accounts are secured.
Month 1: $45,000 projected revenue
Month 2: $58,000 projected revenue
Month 3: $76,000 projected revenue
Month 4: $94,000 projected revenue
Month 5: $102,000 projected revenue
Month 6: $110,500 projected revenue
Month 7: $115,500 projected revenue
Month 8: $118,000 projected revenue
Month 9: $118,000 projected revenue
Month 10: $120,500 projected revenue
Month 11: $120,500 projected revenue
Month 12: $123,000 projected revenue
Projected first-year gross revenue:
Approximately $1.2M
Understanding the Ramp-Up Period
The short-term risk in this model is not a lack of revenue opportunity.
The risk is timing.
The restaurant, catering, wholesale, and corporate meal programs all require trained staff, strong systems, and reliable production capacity.
For that reason, we expect an early ramp-up period where payroll and operating expenses may temporarily run ahead of revenue.
This means the business may operate at a loss in the early months while the foundation is being built.
The purpose of the investment is to solve that problem.
Why the Investment Matters
Rather than opening undercapitalized and reacting to demand, the investment gives the business the ability to hire correctly, train correctly, fulfill existing catering obligations, pursue larger accounts, and build the systems needed to grow.
The investment gives the business room to build the foundation before every revenue channel is fully mature.
That runway is what allows the business to move from launch, to stability, to growth.
Projected Path to Profitability
Our conservative projection shows the business approaching break-even around month three and moving into monthly operating profit around month four.
By the end of the first year, projected monthly revenue reaches approximately:
$123,000 per month
At that stage, the business is projected to be producing positive operating cash flow.
Projected first-year operating profit:
Approximately $71,000
Proposed Use of Investment Funds
The $300,000 investment would be used to support the opening, growth, and stabilization of the business.
Opening payroll, training, and management runway: $90,000
Kitchen equipment, repairs, smallwares, and production upgrades: $55,000
Opening inventory, food, beverage, and disposables: $35,000
Buildout, patio, signage, furniture, and service improvements: $50,000
Sales, branding, website, photography, and corporate outreach: $20,000
Working capital and cash reserve: $50,000
Total use of funds / $300,000
Why This Model Is Different
Many restaurants rely almost entirely on dinner service.
Martindale Grill & River Club is being designed differently.
The goal is to make one kitchen work harder by creating multiple revenue streams from the same space.
Dinner service builds the brand.
Catering brings in larger event revenue.
Wholesale morning production creates daytime revenue.
Corporate meals create recurring weekday revenue.
Together, these channels create a stronger and more flexible hospitality business.
The Opportunity
Martindale Grill & River Club has the opportunity to combine a proven restaurant location, an established catering company, early wholesale interest, and a clear corporate catering strategy.
The investment allows us to build the team, systems, and infrastructure needed to execute the opportunity properly.
We believe this is not just a restaurant investment.
It is an investment in a growing hospitality platform with multiple paths to revenue.
