Geomarketing for restaurants and hospitality

Bars, restaurants, cafes and hospitality venues: find the neighbourhood with the right income level and little competition, work out how many people you reach and assess the potential of the venues you already have.

What it solves for you

What surrounds the site you are looking at

In hospitality, opening on the wrong street is costly. POINOVA shows you the income, demand and competition of each neighbourhood before you sign.

How many people can I reach?

Use isochrones to calculate the population within a 5- or 10-minute walk of your venue.

Is the neighbourhood saturated? Pro

See how many venues like yours are nearby and find where there is still room.

Does it fit my concept?

Income and profile of the area to see whether your average spend and concept match the audience.

Use cases

How you choose where to open your bar or restaurant

You compare neighbourhoods by income, demand and competition, and open knowing what conditions each one has.

The neighbourhood with the right audience

You're looking for a space for a specialty coffee shop and can't decide between three neighbourhoods. With POINOVA you compare the average income and profile of each area using official data and see where the customers who match your prices live. You go with the neighbourhood whose demand fits your menu.

How many people you have nearby

Before signing the lease, you want to know how many people you really reach. You draw the catchment area 5 and 10 minutes' walk from the door and POINOVA counts the population living inside. That way you rule out venues that look good on the map but have little audience around them.

Steer clear of saturated areas Pro

A neighbourhood with lots of foot traffic may already be packed with bars and restaurants like yours. POINOVA shows you the hospitality venues operating nearby and, where we know their cuisine, how many there are of each type. With that, you pick an area with demand but where there's still room for your concept.

Hospitality

Is there room for your restaurant?

Measure population, income and competition by cuisine before you sign the lease.

Score every location Pro

The NovaScore measures from 0 to 100 what conditions each area brings together for your type of restaurant.

Competition by cuisine Pro

See how many restaurants already operate in the area and, where we know their cuisine, how many are Italian, Asian or tapas. That way you can tell if the neighbourhood is saturated for your menu.

Where your audience lives Pro

One heatmap shades each area by income, age or population density, and another shows you where restaurants cluster.

Compare available spaces Pro

Put the spaces you're considering side by side with the same yardstick and pick the one with the best conditions, not the one you like most.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about POINOVA for restaurants and hospitality

What data do I see for an area before opening a restaurant?
For free, you can see how many people live in the area and its basic profile, such as income and the share of young and older residents. The Pro plan adds NovaScore, nearby competing venues and, where available, an estimate of how busy the area is. The data comes from official statistics and open sources.
Can I find out how many people walk past a venue?
We don't count the people who walk past each door. On the Pro plan, where available, we give you an estimate of how busy the area is: depending on the place, it comes from mobility data or from what draws people in, such as stations, schools or hospitals. It helps you compare locations with each other.
What can I do for free, and what needs the Pro plan?
Free, no card needed: map with basic demographic data, population by area, country view by areas, drawing areas (2 isochrones a day) and up to 3 saved areas. On the Pro plan: NovaScore and 60+ indicators, competitors and points of interest, PDF and Excel reports, guided studies and territories.
Does NovaScore tell a bar apart from a café or a restaurant?
Yes. On the Pro plan you pick the type of business, such as restaurant, café, bar or hotel, and NovaScore weighs the area's conditions differently for each one. It scores those conditions from 0 to 100; it does not predict your sales.
Do I need to know about maps to use it?
No. You search for the venue's address, draw the area you can reach in a few minutes on foot, by bike or by car and see its figures straight away. It works in the browser and is designed for business users, not technical ones.
