Just off the Sea to Sky Highway, there’s a spot in Britannia Beach, BC that smells like fresh coffee, grilled sandwiches, and good vibes. Outbound Station isn’t your typical café—it’s where commuters, hikers, and adventurers all stop to catch their breath before heading out on their next adventure.

Jeffrey Edward and Jordyn Ferreira built Outbound Station around a simple idea—work hard, live free, and make time for what you love. They wanted to create a space that fuels people’s energy to get out and explore, whether it’s hiking the mountains, kiteboarding by the coast, or simply enjoying the daily commute.

Of course, running a café takes more than passion. It takes organizing and staying on top of a hundred little things at work. That’s why the team relies on tools like QuickBooks to manage invoices, track cash flow, and keep operations running smoothly. With QuickBooks keeping their finances organized, they can focus on what really matters—serving great food and building community.

Behind the counter at Outbound Station

Outbound Station was founded just over a year ago by Jeffrey and Jordyn, who moved from Ontario to British Columbia to follow their shared passion for kiteboarding. What started as a big move soon became a bigger dream—building a place that combined community, adventure, and good food.

Over time, the café quickly became a go-to stop for locals and travellers looking to “fuel their adventure” before hitting the trails or the water. From craft burgers and fresh sandwiches to house-made treats, there’s something for every appetite. Customer favourites include their shakes and lemonades—perfect companions for a hike.

For Jeffrey and Jordyn, success isn’t measured only in revenue. It’s about creating a sustainable business and an active lifestyle, while supporting the community.

As Jeffrey explains, “If we can find that perfect balance point—where the café is running successfully and we’re enjoying where we live—that to us is success.”

Success, served daily

Running a café means balancing customer service, staff, and daily operations, all while keeping the books in order. Since opening, Outbound Station has grown into a local favourite, and QuickBooks has been the quiet, behind-the-scenes support helping it all run smoothly. The impact goes beyond the books:

• More time for people: Faster invoicing and setting up automatic payments frees Jeffrey and Jordyn to spend more time connecting with customers and supporting their staff.
• Confidence in growth: Clear visibility into finances makes business decisions less stressful and more strategic.
• Support when it counts: Organized records make collaboration with accountants seamless, keeping tax season simple.

All of this adds up to peace of mind in the back office—and more energy for the community they serve every day.
