Hospitality Business Broker @ GSE Hospitality Brokers

I help hospitality business owners buy, sell cafés, restaurants, bars and hotels with practical advice built on more than two decades of real industry experience.

As a licensed hospitality business broker in Melbourne, I work exclusively with hospitality owners, operators and investors who are looking to buy, sell, value or strategically exit their businesses. Every recommendation is based on firsthand operational experience—not theory.

Before becoming a broker, I spent more than 25 years owning, operating and managing hospitality venues across Victoria. Having worked as a fine dining chef before building and selling multiple businesses myself, I understand the commercial realities of hospitality—the long hours, tight margins, staffing challenges, lease negotiations and ultimately, what makes a business genuinely valuable to the market.

Today, I combine that operational knowledge with specialist brokerage expertise to help owners maximise the value of their businesses while guiding buyers through informed acquisition decisions. Whether it’s a confidential off-market sale, a business valuation, an exit strategy or a full sale campaign, my focus is always on achieving the strongest commercial outcome for my clients.

I don’t approach hospitality from the outside looking in. I’ve built businesses, invested my own money, employed teams, negotiated leases and successfully exited venues. That experience shapes every appraisal, every marketing campaign and every negotiation.

If you’re looking for a Melbourne hospitality business broker who understands the industry because he’s lived it, I’d welcome a confidential conversation about your business and your goals.

One on One: Work directly with me from appraisal to settlement.
