Sign the service contract before opening day.

New restaurants line up their cleaning, linen, pest control and grease-trap service around opening day. DineTracer finds them in public filings while those contracts are still open.

A recurring service contract is hardest to win once it's signed.

Facility services renew month after month, so an open restaurant rarely switches. The opening is when each of those contracts gets signed for the first time.

Pre-opening inspections, build-out permits and new food-service and liquor licenses are public, dated records of a restaurant getting ready to open. DineTracer turns them into leads and checks for new ones every 4 hours.

Where the data comes from

Built on public recordsEvery lead starts from a government record: a liquor-license filing, a building or health permit, or a business registration. Each one names the agency it came from. We add details from Google business listings and the business’s own website.
Owner contact when a filing names oneWhen a public business-registration filing lists an owner or registered agent, the lead can include their phone and email, which may be personal. A data provider does the matching. Numbers on Do-Not-Call lists are left out.

Questions

What counts as just opened?
A restaurant whose license or first inspection is recent. Each lead shows the date of the filing behind it.
How early do you find these restaurants?
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.
Which states do you cover?
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.
Is this just big chains?
No. Most of the leads are independent restaurants.
Where does the data come from?
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.
