How does Hospo Hunter find hospitality leads in Melbourne?

We track new Victorian business registrations, pick out the ones that look like hospitality, then confirm each Melbourne venue through its website, socials, council permits, liquor licence applications and job ads.

What types of Melbourne hospitality businesses are included?

Cafes, restaurants, bars, pubs, hotels and other clearly identifiable hospitality businesses, from laneway venues in the CBD to suburban cafes in the east and west.

Can I find venues before they open?

Often, yes. Many Melbourne venues register and start fit-out well before opening, and that planning window is where Hospo Hunter aims to put you in front of them.

What information is included with each lead?

The business name, venue type, suburb, registration date, the decision-maker and phone or email where available, a reason to call, the supporting sources and its verification status.

Are Melbourne hospitality leads verified?

Yes. A Melbourne business only appears once there is enough public evidence that it is a real hospitality venue. We don't claim to catch every new venue in every suburb, only the ones we can verify.

Does Hospo Hunter also cover other Australian cities?

Yes. The same membership covers every state and territory, so you can filter to Melbourne or widen out to Sydney, Brisbane and regional areas.
