Market pulse

We are tracking 3881 Melbourne-area venues in FoodScout right now. Average Google rating across scored venues is 4.20. Velocity and sentiment on venue pages reflect how review activity is shifting week to week.

Cuisine trends

Tag frequency is inferred from venue cuisine strings — use it as a directional read on what categories dominate the dataset, not a census of every menu in Melbourne.

Suburb spotlight

Suburbs are parsed from address lines. Dense clusters usually mean more scraped listings in those postcodes — cross-check with our suburb directory pages for live cards.

Health trends

Health levels summarise how we bucket review-derived nutrition signals. Green-heavy periods often align with new salad-forward or lighter menus entering the corpus.

Seasonal patterns

In April, watch for review surges around public holidays and major events — they often spike review_velocity on brunch and CBD venues first. Refresh this panel after your weekly scrape for the freshest pulse.
