Born and raised in Melbourne, Matt Lane began his hospitality career at a very early age cleaning out fried chicken vats at Ollies Trollies, Glenferrie Rd Malvern and working occasional shifts in family-owned pubs.
Matt held management positions in much-loved Melbourne cafes, clubs and restaurants and was managing consultant for the build and opening operations of two successful restaurants and bars; from the mid to late 90’s.
In 1998 Matt relocated to the Byron shire, NSW and in 2000 transformed an old house into a highly successful café, wine bar and restaurant in Mullumbimby. After 8 years in Byron Shire Matt relocated to NYC as GM of a wildly successful Mexican Restaurant, Bar, Café and Taqueria.
Matt returned to Melbourne in 2009 and opened Mamasita Mexican, followed by a second venture, Hotel Jesus in 2016. After running them remotely for the past 4 years (yes it can be done!); he recently sold both venues, allowing space to take on more consultancy and exit strategy projects.
Just prior to the departure from Melbourne, Matt took on a consultancy CEO role for 100 Burgers Group, which involved restructuring and conceptualising several venues within the portfolio.
In 2021, Matt and his family relocated to Currumbin, Queensland.
