Searchbase for hospitality suppliers: hotel, restaurant and bar lists with contacts in one prompt

Quick answer: suppliers selling into hotels, restaurants, bars and catering use Searchbase to build venue lists that no contact database holds, filtered by city, category and a real signal such as a new opening or a menu keyword, with a public contact on each row. Describe your ideal customer. Searchbase finds them across Europe in one prompt, with the source on every cell. A list of two hundred venues in one city takes minutes and a few hundred credits, and the free plan renews 150 credits a month so you can test one city before paying.

What hospitality supply teams ask for

Hospitality is a local business, so the prompts are local and concrete:

• "Restaurants in Lyon that opened in the last twelve months, with address, phone, website and an email if published."
• "Hotels in Barcelona with three stars or more that run their own breakfast service, with the contact page and a named manager if the site lists one."
• "Bars in Amsterdam whose menu mentions natural wine, with the menu page it appears on."
• "Independent bakeries in Vienna hiring a pastry chef right now, with the job post link."
• "Restaurant groups in Milan with more than three venues, with the group site and each location."
• "Catering companies in Brussels that state they serve corporate events, with the page where they say it."

The signal is what makes the call worth making. A venue that opened last month is buying everything. A venue hiring a pastry chef is expanding a category. A menu that mentions natural wine is a distributor's shortlist, not a guess.

What comes back

A table that fills while the agent works. For a venue list the usual columns are venue name, category, full address, city, phone, website, opening year or opening announcement where it exists, the signal itself, and a contact email or contact form URL when the venue publishes one.

Every cell carries the link to the page it was read from, a badge with the collection date, and the extraction method. Hospitality data ages fast, venues close and change hands, so the badge is the difference between a call list and a list of disappointments. Where a value is not published, the cell says n/a. Searchbase does not invent a manager's name or a direct email.

The realistic outcome for a European city: nearly every row has a phone and a website, most have a generic or role email, a minority name a person. Today teams use Apollo for company contact data, which works well for chains and groups but thins out fast on independent venues. The independent venues are exactly where a supplier's margin is.

Sources that matter for hospitality suppliers

Company pages carry most of the weight here, and by company pages we mean the venue's own site: the contact page, the menu, the about page, the booking page, the news section where an opening is announced. Reading one of those pages costs about one credit, which is why a two hundred venue list stays cheap.

Directories matter more in this vertical than in most, because hospitality is one of the categories the web indexes thoroughly by city and cuisine. Local press matters for openings, awards and changes of ownership, which are the highest intent signals in the whole sector.

Nine job boards catch expansion before the venue announces it. Twelve social platforms are often the only live channel an independent venue maintains, and a social profile read costs about three credits. Three ad libraries, Meta, Google and TikTok, tell you which venues and groups are actually spending on promotion, which correlates with having a budget for suppliers too.

A worked example

Prompt: "Restaurants in Lyon that opened in the last twelve months, with address, phone, website and an email if published."

The agent plans first. It searches local press and directory listings for opening announcements in the city, cross-checks each candidate against its own website, then opens the contact page and the about page to pull address, phone and email, and reads the social profile when the venue has no site.

Then it runs. About 250 pages get read at roughly one credit each, plus around 40 social profiles at about three credits, so the run lands near 370 credits. Rows stream in as they are found, so if the results are drifting into the wider region you tighten the prompt before spending the rest.

The output is around ninety venues with an address and a phone, of which perhaps fifty five publish an email address. If you then want a proper brief on the ten biggest groups, Deep Research costs 20 to 40 credits per report and returns a cited write-up rather than a row.

From the table to the first message

Hospitality buyers answer the phone more than they answer email, but the first email still decides whether the call is expected. From the table, the agent drafts email and LinkedIn sequences for the contacts it found, referencing the actual signal, the recent opening, the menu line, the role being hired.

Every draft goes through a review step, and nothing leaves without your approval. Sending from the campaign wizard is still rolling out, so today the workflow is review then export: JSON on every plan, CSV from Starter, an API from Pro, webhooks on Business. Most supplier teams export CSV straight into the territory sheet their reps already work from.

Pricing for a hospitality supply team

Free costs nothing and renews 150 credits a month, which is enough to build a list for one district or one small city and see whether the signal you chose predicts a conversation.

Starter at €29 a month gives 1,000 credits and CSV export, which covers roughly two full city lists per month. For a supplier with one or two reps working defined territories, this is often the whole requirement.

Pro at €79 a month gives 4,000 credits and API access, which suits a national sales team refreshing several cities on a schedule and pulling new openings automatically instead of asking someone to check.

Business at €199 a month gives 12,000 credits and webhooks, so a newly opened venue in a covered city can arrive in your CRM as a task the week it opens. Prices are in euros, the company is European, and everything works in English and Italian.

Frequently asked questions

Will I get a decision maker's name? Sometimes. Independent venues often publish only a general email and a phone number, and that is what the row will contain. Where a site names a manager or an owner, the cell holds it with the link to the page that says so. Where it does not, the cell is n/a rather than a guess.

How do you know a venue actually opened recently? From a page that says so: a local press item, an opening announcement on the venue's own site or social profile. The claim and its link sit in the same row, so a rep can check it in one click before dialling.

Can it cover a whole region rather than one city? Yes, but cost scales with pages read, so a region is several hundred to a few thousand credits depending on density. Most teams run city by city and keep each list refreshable.

What about venues with no website? They are common and they still appear, sourced from a directory listing or a social profile. Those rows usually carry a phone and an address and an n/a in the email column.

Does it send the emails? The agent drafts the sequences and you approve every message. Launching from the campaign wizard is being switched on progressively, so most teams review and export today.

How often should I rerun a city? Monthly is the pattern that works for openings and hiring signals. Reruns cost credits again because the pages are read again, which is also why every row carries a fresh collection date.
