What you can do with the Melbourne pack
Six common ways our customers put a pack like this to work — each anchored to a coverage stat that's already on your side.
Direct sales outreach
Phone numbers on 86.5% of records means a 1,084,080-strong outbound dial list — ideal for SaaS, supplier and equipment teams with a B2B sales motion.
Email marketing campaigns
207,487 publicly listed business emails. Compliant with the Spam Act 2003 when paired with proper sender ID and an unsubscribe mechanism.
Multi-channel outreach
194,442 venues with both phone and email — the highest-conversion segment for sales sequences combining cold call, email and LinkedIn.
Website & digital targeting
65.1% of venues have an active website — useful for retargeting audiences, site-quality lead scoring, and tech-stack enrichment.
Reputation & review outreach
Google ratings on 64.7% of records. Filter by review count or score to target venues by maturity, traffic, or quality tier.
Social media ad audiences
Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn handles let you build custom audiences inside Meta Ads Manager and LinkedIn Campaign Manager from a verified seed list.
Filter by Google rating
Every record carries the venue's Google rating and review count. Slice for high-traffic 4.5★+ venues to focus on established operators, or filter for sub-4★ venues if your offer is reputation-recovery focused.
Largest restaurant chains in the dataset
The biggest publicly-known multi-site operators in Australia by approximate location count. Independent single-site venues still account for the majority of the dataset.
Counts are publicly reported approximations as of 2026; verify against each brand's current store locator before campaign use.

Frequently asked questions
How many restaurants in Melbourne are there?

9,342 venues — 86.5% of the Melbourne pack — include a primary phone number, formatted in E.164 where available.
How many of the restaurants in Melbourne have email addresses?
1,793 venues — 16.6% of the Melbourne pack — include a publicly listed business email. The email column is null for venues that don't publish one.
How many of the restaurants in Melbourne have both phone and email?
1,674 venues — 15.5% of the Melbourne pack. This is the highest-conversion segment for multi-channel sales sequences.
How many of the restaurants in Melbourne have a website?

Are social media profiles included?
Yes, where they are publicly linked. Coverage in the Melbourne pack: Facebook 1,622 (15%), Instagram 1,282 (11.9%), LinkedIn 629 (5.8%).
Are Google ratings and review counts included?
Yes. Every record includes the venue's average Google rating (0–5) and review count at the time of last verification. Filter for high-performers (4.5★+) or below-average venues if your offer is reputation-recovery focused.
What columns are in the file?
Eighteen columns per row: business_name, legal_name, street_address, suburb, state, postcode, phone, email, website, cuisine, cuisine_secondary, latitude, longitude, google_rating, review_count, facebook_url, instagram_handle, last_verified.
Can I use the Melbourne pack for cold email outreach?
Yes — the email column contains addresses sourced from publicly listed business pages, which is the right starting point for B2B outreach under the Australian Spam Act 2003. You must include a sender identification block and a working unsubscribe link in every message.
Can I use the Melbourne pack for Facebook/Instagram ads?
Yes. Upload the email column to Meta Ads Manager as a Custom Audience source. Match rates for Australian B2B email lists typically land in the 25–45% range. Use the Facebook URL and Instagram handle columns for manual targeting and lookalike seed selection.
Does the Melbourne pack include the whole metropolitan area?
Yes. The pack covers Melbourne plus the surrounding metropolitan suburbs that locals consider part of the city. Filter the file by suburb for narrower targeting (e.g. CBD only).
Can I buy just one cuisine in Melbourne?
Yes — we publish combo packs for popular city + cuisine combinations (e.g. cafes in Melbourne, fine dining in Melbourne). Browse them from the city's pricing card or request a custom slice via the contact page.
How fresh is the data?
Every record is re-verified on a quarterly cycle. The current edition is dated April 2026 — printed on the product page and inside the README that ships with the file. Buyers receive the latest edition at the time of purchase, no extra fee for refreshes inside the same quarter.
Where does the data come from?
Records are aggregated from publicly listed business directories, Google Places, and official register lookups. Every record is deduplicated by ABN where available, and verified against at least two independent sources before publication.
What format do I get?
The pack ships as a single ZIP containing CSV (UTF-8, header row), XLSX (with a second sheet documenting the schema), and a README. UTF-8 encoded, ready for direct CRM import.
What's the licence?
Single-user, internal commercial licence. You can import the data into your CRM, marketing tool, BI dashboard or analytics workflow, and use it within your organisation. You cannot resell, sublicense, or republish the dataset.
How do I receive the file after I pay?
The moment Stripe confirms payment, our system emails you a secure download link valid for 7 days. No account needed — just click the link. If it expires, contact support and we'll re-issue it.
Can I get a sample before I buy?
Yes. Download a free 25-row sample from the sample page — same schema as the paid pack, real Australian venues, no credit card required.
Do you offer refunds?
Refunds are issued only when a download link cannot be issued, the file is materially corrupt, or the pack contains fewer than 80% of the advertised record count. All other purchases are non-refundable since the data delivers instantly.
Is the data compliant with Australian privacy law?
Yes. Every record relates to a business, not a private individual, and is sourced from publicly listed information. The Privacy Act 1988 governs handling of personal information about individuals; business contact details published by the business itself are outside that scope. Your obligations under the Spam Act 2003 still apply when you use the data.
