Tell us a bit about your company
Oya began when founders Mark and Ashley noticed a gap in the market – too many kitchens in pubs, bars, and other venues sitting unused, while the potential to generate income from them went untapped. With a background in hospitality and a passion for great food, they set out to make it easier for property owners to bring their kitchens back to life, without unnecessary red tape or high costs.
Oya is the property marketplace for the food industry. We help Hosts unlock the full potential of their food and beverage spaces by connecting them with vetted, growing food brands ready to move in and get cooking. You keep control of your venue while benefiting from additional revenue, increased footfall, and an enhanced customer experience, all without the hassle of lengthy lease agreements, complex negotiations, or day-to-day operational management.
From kitchens that have sat unused for years, to fully operational spaces looking for a fresh concept, Oya matches you with the right food partner so your venue can thrive. Whether you’re a pub, bar, hotel, or event space, we make the process smooth, fair, and flexible, so you can focus on running your business while your kitchen starts earning again.

Why is exhibiting at The National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show an unmissable opportunity for you?
The National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show brings together exactly the audience Oya is built to serve – decision makers from pubs, bars, hotels, and hospitality venues looking to maximise revenue and improve their offering.
For us, it’s an unrivalled opportunity to meet Hosts face-to-face, showcase how simple and profitable it can be to activate unused kitchens, and demonstrate the value of connecting with high quality food brands through Oya.
With many venues still recovering from rising costs and shifting customer habits, our solution offers a low-risk, high-reward way to increase footfall, extend dwell time, and boost sales, without the burden of long term leases or heavy investment. This show allows us to tell that story directly to the people who stand to benefit most, and to build relationships that can turn empty kitchens into revenue-generating assets.
