Social Eating House + Bar

What Social Eating House + Bar does

Social Eating House + Bar is a single-location casual fine dining restaurant operating at the Oracle precinct in Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 2015, the venue serves modern Australian cuisine designed by Executive Chef Matthew Jefferson, with a layered menu spanning bar snacks, charcuterie, small plates, and large share plates, supported by a sommelier-curated wine list and a signature cocktail program. The restaurant operates seven days a week for lunch (12–3pm) and dinner (5:30pm till late), serving dining enthusiasts, bar patrons, group diners, and banquet guests.

The business monetizes through three primary revenue streams: per-transaction à la carte food and beverage sales, curated banquet menus priced at $95, $105, or $125 per head for groups of eight or more, and private dining with a minimum expenditure of $1,500 for groups up to eight. Digital gift cards sold through the NowBookIt platform provide a prepaid revenue channel. The company also operates Gypsy Social, a catering sub-brand currently on temporary hiatus. Distribution is entirely through direct in-restaurant dining and online reservations, with no delivery or takeaway services. The business is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or funding history. Marketing relies on the company website, the NowBookIt booking and gift card platform, and an email newsletter community program.
