Simple process

Up and running in three steps.

No technical setup. No monthly fees. We handle everything — you just welcome the guests.

1
Apply and get approved
Fill in the form below. We review your venue and reach out within 2 business days. We're selective — quality over quantity.
2
We build your perk offer
You decide the offer — a discount, a complimentary item, a special experience. We create your venue card and QR code, and load it into the StayRide app.
3
Guests scan, you serve
Guests discover your venue through their Melbourne Perks. They walk in, scan the QR code, and your staff confirms the offer. That's it.
Who are StayRide guests?

The kind of customer
every venue wants.

StayRide guests aren't random tourists. They're verified, pre-booked visitors staying in Melbourne's best short-stay apartments — and they're actively looking for recommendations.

Staying across Melbourne
Short-stay guests based across Melbourne's best apartments — within easy driving distance of your venue.
They have a car
Unlike typical hotel guests, StayRide guests have a vehicle — they can reach you easily, wherever you are.
Pre-qualified renters
Every guest has passed ID verification and paid a bond. These are responsible, spending-ready visitors.
Actively exploring
Short-stay guests spend more per day than long-term visitors. They're here to experience Melbourne — and they want guidance.
Who we work with

Every great Melbourne experience.

We've curated a map of Melbourne's best venues across dining, experiences, wellness, and more — and we're selective about who makes it on.

Restaurants & Bars
Dining discounts, complimentary drinks, priority reservations.
Experiences
Tours, events, cultural venues, and only-in-Melbourne activities.
Wellness & Lifestyle
Spas, gyms, yoga studios, and health-focused businesses.
Retail & Services
Boutiques, markets, specialty stores, and local services.

Limited founding spots

We're new. That's
the point.

We're not pretending to be established. We're building something new in Melbourne and we want the right venues with us from day one — not ones who joined after it was already crowded. Founding partners get premium placement and are recognised as part of what StayRide became.
