Who We Are
Restaurant Hub merged with media company NZME in 2016 to provide Kiwis and Visitors with New Zealand's first e.commerce web and mobile App for every eating out moment, from sushi to steak, from our most popular quick-service brands to the best restaurant experiences.
Restaurant Hub is also directly aligned with:
1. RANZ - Restaurant Association of New Zealand
2. HNZ - Hospitality Association of New Zealand
We’re proud to be a part of the Kiwi hospo scene, and we’re incredibly happy to have RANZ and HNZ onboard – every time you use Restaurant Hub you can be sure you’re supporting local hospitality businesses. Together we're helping to build a better eating out and dining experience for Kiwis right across the country.
Our Team
Mark Gregory MCA – GM and co-Founder
The first Kiwi chef to be awarded both the “Master of Culinary Arts” by the Royal Academy and to be accorded France's “Meilleur Ouvrier” ( Master Craftsman ) status, Mark's been in hospo all his life. After a career spanning almost three decades in top European kitchens, and including both stints on television and publishing books, Mark returned home to New Zealand with his family in 2007.
Mark’s daughter Annaliese continues the family culinary pedigree, having spent four years as head chef to Peter Gilmore at Quay (a San Pellegrino “World’s Top 50 Restaurant”), and now heading up her own restaurant (Bar Brose) in Sydney's Darlinghurst.
Today Mark designs for his chefs-wear brand Le Chef, and is also a director of Denny’s, Eveve Software NZ, and of course Restaurant Hub. He rounds out his time consulting for leading New Zealand companies (including Lion, Cookie Time and Kenwood Delonghi) and is a founding trustee of DineAid, the charity for the NZ restaurant industry.
Richard Small – Director of Sales/Restaurant Relations and Founder
Since launching his first business at seventeen, Richard has worked hospo all around the world.
Working as a concierge in some of the world’s very best hotels, he discovered the Eveve booking software in London. Keen to help Kiwi diners back home he inked a deal to launch the product here in New Zealand, returning in 2011 to partner with Mark on developing Eveve and Restaurant Hub.
Since then he has worked across the country signing restaurants to Eveve and Restaurant Hub, and is pretty happy to finally see his long-term vision of a restaurant booking site for all New Zealanders come to fruition.

Plus its good news for local hospitality businesses
While the technology trend in the hospitality space is currently driving customers away from dining out, Restaurant Hub aims to bring customers back through the restaurant's doors. The vision is to build a vibrant, sustainable restaurant scene; encouraging people to enjoy eating out a whole lot more, be it a quick coffee, lunchtime sushi, or going for the whole restaurant experience. It’s the brainchild of Co-founders Mark Gregory and Richard Small.
People can now instantly look locally to find and book a restaurant special for dining out.
