About Us
What We Do
GroupMenus.com is a B2B platform that connects the MICE industry (meetings, incentives, conferences, and events) with restaurants that accept and work with groups. We’re building the world’s largest database of group-friendly restaurants, complete with detailed information about capacity, private dining options, facilities, and amenities.
Our platform serves event planners, corporate organizers, and MICE agencies who need reliable information to book group dining experiences. Our platform helps them find the perfect restaurant match without the guesswork or middleman complications.
All bookings happen directly between the agents/planners and restaurants. We don’t take commissions. Restaurants pay a yearly listing fee to showcase their group dining capabilities to our targeted professional audience.
Our Story
GroupMenus.com was founded by a husband and wife team with over 20 years of experience in travel and hospitality. We’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be for event professionals to find accurate information about group dining options.
Julija brings 15+ years of destination management company (DMC) experience, plus additional years in hotel operations. She understands what event planners need and the challenges they face when organizing group meals.
Thomas founded and ran a successful DMC in The Baltic States 20 years ago after leaving a tech career. His tech background and industry experience revealed a clear problem: too often, event planners receive incomplete or outdated restaurant information, leading to embarrassing situations with high-value clients.
We started GroupMenus.com to put accurate, up-to-date restaurant information directly in the hands of event professionals. No more relying on gatekeepers or outdated recommendations. Just reliable data to help you make confident booking decisions.
Our Mission
We’re mapping group-friendly restaurants across the globe, starting with Europe and expanding to the Middle East, Americas, Australia, Asia, and beyond. Our goal is simple: give organizers the tools and information they need to create exceptional group dining experiences.
Why Use Groupmenus
1. Built by Industry Insiders
We’re not a tech company chasing a trend. We’ve lived and breathed the MICE industry for over 20 years. We know the pain of chasing down group menus, calling restaurants for capacity, and relying on outdated info. This platform was built because we needed it ourselves.
2. No Commission. No Gatekeeping.
We don’t take a cut of your bookings. Ever. What you see is what you get. No hidden fees, no surprise percentages, and no playing favorites. Planners contact restaurants directly. Restaurants own their listings. Simple.
3. Better Choices, Fewer Surprises
When restaurants list with us, they provide real details: group capacity, private dining options, photos, and more. You won’t waste time chasing venues that can’t fit your group or don’t offer what you need.
4. Say Goodbye to “Oops, We Didn’t Know”
We’ve seen it all – DMCs recommending venues that are too small, or worse, closed down. That’s a disaster waiting to happen. Our platform helps you avoid costly, embarrassing mistakes by putting accurate, up-to-date information at your fingertips.
5. Global Reach, Local Detail
We’re mapping every group-friendly restaurant city by city. We’re starting in Europe, then moving into the Middle East, the Americas, and beyond. Whether you’re booking in Berlin, Dubai, or New York, we’re working to make sure you’ve got reliable options at your fingertips.
6. Made for B2B
This isn’t for tourists. It’s for professionals: event planners, travel agencies, corporate buyers, and anyone booking restaurants for groups. We speak your language, and we built this tool for your workflow.
