Real data, this week, your metro. No card required.

How it works

New restaurants file paperwork weeks or months before opening day. We watch all of it, so you don't have to.

STEP 1

We monitor public records daily

Liquor license applications (TABC), new business filings, and licensing status changes across Texas — checked every morning, automatically.

STEP 2

We filter and verify

Every record is deduplicated, classified (restaurant vs. bar vs. store), and tracked through its lifecycle — from first application to licensed-and-about-to-open.

STEP 3

You get a weekly feed

Every Monday: a clean CSV + summary of every upcoming opening in your metro. Name, address, stage, and dates. Ready for your sales team.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

Public government records: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission license applications and issuances, plus related public filings. We aggregate, deduplicate, classify, and track them — the underlying records are public; the intelligence layer is ours.

Who is this for?

Anyone who sells to new restaurants and bars: food and beverage distributors, POS and payments resellers, kitchen equipment dealers, payroll and insurance reps, marketing agencies, and suppliers of all kinds.

How fresh is it?

Our pipeline checks state records every morning. Weekly feeds arrive Monday mornings with everything from the prior week — including venues that filed applications but aren't licensed yet, often months before opening day.

What format do I get?

A clean CSV (name, category, stage, address, city, county, dates) plus a readable summary. Drops straight into any CRM or spreadsheet.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — subscriptions are month-to-month with self-serve cancellation. No contracts, no calls.

Do you cover states besides Texas?

Texas today; Florida and California are next. Founding members get first access to new territories at their locked rate.
