Revista Canal Horeca

What Revista Canal Horeca does

Revista Canal Horeca is a Chilean B2B trade media company focused exclusively on the HORECA sector (Hotels, Restaurants, Catering, and out-of-home foodservice). Founded in 2005 according to firmographic data (with a 2020 copyright notice on the current website), the company operates from Chile and serves purchasing decision-makers across hotels, restaurants, catering companies, bakeries and pastry shops, cafeterias, pubs, casino concessions, and supplier/distributor businesses. Its commercial offering centers on industry news, supplier information, event coverage, trend analysis, and professional content delivered to Chilean hospitality professionals.

The product portfolio is multi-channel: a core monthly Revista Canal Horeca print and digital magazine, an online editions platform (Ediciones Online), an archive of past issues (Revistas Anteriores), a standalone HORECA business directory called GuiaHoreca.cl, and the main news portal at canalhoreca.cl which aggregates content across 25+ categories including hotels, restaurants, tourism, wines, technology, training, and events. The underlying technology is a digital publishing platform built on a content management system (JNews WordPress theme, evidenced by site markup), without disclosed proprietary features, APIs, or AI capabilities.

The business model is not publicly disclosed in detail: magazine subscription pricing is not posted, and the company generates revenue through a combination of subscription fees (print and digital) to HORECA professionals, likely advertising and sponsored content from suppliers and distributors targeting the same audience, and potentially directory listings on GuiaHoreca.cl. Distribution is single-country (Chile) via direct subscription (enterprise channel) and self-service online access (SMB/consumer channel). The company is privately held, employs approximately 12 people, and has no disclosed institutional investors, partnerships, M&A, or funding rounds.
