A bar manager can check their own Instagram. What they can't easily see is how they rank against specific competitors, what publications they're missing, and whether the gap is closing. That's OurBar.
OurBar connects social, reviews, and editorial intelligence into a single AI-powered companion — benchmarked against every on-licence venue in New Zealand.
Ask questions about your venue and get answers grounded in real data. "Why did my score change?" "How do I compare to my target competitor?" "What publications am I missing?" No dashboards to navigate — just ask.

Neatplaces, Cuisine Good Food Guide, Metro Top 50, Estrella Gastropub Awards, HNZ Awards, Lewisham. Who has them, who doesn't, and when they changed. Publication gaps are the clearest signal of where to focus.
Not just your rating — how many new reviews this month vs last month, vs your target competitor, vs the area average. Catch a dip before it compounds. Understand what's driving a spike before it fades.
Competitor gains a listing. Your score shifts. An influencer tags you. Each alert opens the companion pre-loaded with the relevant question — one tap to understand what happened and what to do about it.
Six months of trend lines means something. A year shows seasonality. Two years predicts patterns. Every day the data gets more valuable — and your venue's history is yours for as long as you're a member.
Day one: comparison and context — useful, but replicable. Six months in: trend lines mean something. Growth trajectories, rating drift, follower velocity. A year in: seasonality is visible. Two years: pattern matching against award cycles and venue closures.
The longitudinal data is the moat. Competitors would need to start today and wait two years to replicate what you'll have in two years. And your venue's own history — your data — stays yours for as long as you're a member.
OurBar is accepting its first founding members ahead of public launch. Founding members get full product access at a permanently locked rate — and first look at everything we build next.
NZ hospitality venues only. We'll be in touch personally — no automated sequences.
