Teams that sell to new restaurants: POS and payments companies, restaurant insurance agents, restaurant tech companies and agencies, and suppliers that set up accounts before opening day. See POS & payments, insurance and pre-open leads.

The restaurant's name and address, the filing and its date, and the contact details we have: the business phone, website and email, and the owner or registered agent when a filing names one. Unlocked leads are yours to re-download for free, as a CSV.

Yes. When a restaurant you unlocked opens, or gets a new phone, website or hours, or when an owner contact, a property owner or its POS turns up, we email you a short summary. It's free. It comes weekly on Mondays; in Settings you can choose every 4 hours, daily or weekly, or turn it off.

Public government records: liquor-license filings, building and health permits, and business registrations. We add details from Google business listings and the business's own website. When a public business-registration filing names an owner or registered agent, a data provider matches that person to a phone number and email address, which can be personal. Numbers on Do-Not-Call lists are left out. We don't scrape LinkedIn, social networks or people-search websites.

The Restaurant Database (liquor licenses) covers California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois (Chicago only), Massachusetts (Boston only), New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington and the District of Columbia. Early leads (pre-opening filings, build-out permits and new food-service licenses) add Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina and Tennessee. The map on our home page shows what we have in each state.

It depends on the filing. Build-out permits and liquor-license filings usually show up weeks to months before opening. Pre-opening inspections show up days to weeks before.

We check for new filings every 4 hours, as soon as the agencies publish them.

Sometimes. When a filing names an owner or agent, we may include their phone and email, which can be personal. A data provider does the matching, and we only show a match we can tie to the business. Numbers on Do-Not-Call lists are left out. The rest of the lead is a public business record.

Often. POS & Tech Lookup checks a restaurant's website and online-ordering links for known POS and ordering systems. “No POS detected” means we found no sign of one online; the restaurant may still have one. You can try it free on POS Lookup.
