What is the difference between the “Restaurant Activity Report” and the “Restaurant Unverified Activity Report “?

The “Restaurant Activity Report” covers restaurants at the earliest stage possible. Each lead is very detailed and built one at a time by our research staff. If it’s important for you to be the first one in the door, the report is for you.

The “Unverified Activity Report” covers restaurants closer to their actual opening date and are based on new phone hook-ups, business licenses, permits and the like.


Where do you get your data for the new restaurant leads?

Our research staff spends hundreds of hours each month scouring permits, trade journals, and dozens of other sources. We don’t have any magic. We simply do the hard work so you wont have to!


What areas are covered by your publications?

We cover the 48 contiguous states with 36 verified trade area reports and all 50 states with the unverified trade area reports. Click here to see a detailed list.


How much does it cost to subscribe?

Verified leads start as low as $99 per month. Call for regional pricing and information on quarterly and annual discounts.


When will my new restaurant leads be delivered?

We publish fresh information 4 days per week, Monday through Thursday. We send an email notification at the exact time of day that the leads are published. Subscribers can log in at any time to view new and existing leads.


How do I access my new restaurant leads?

You can access your account online at any time to search for leads in your area. After you search, simply click on the links to view current leads, or choose either the Word or Excel version to download. Verified leads are emailed directly to you in a password-protected .pdf.


What data is included in each publication?

Each report is unique. Call a representative at 443-974-8897 to learn about what data is included.


How many leads or activity data entries can I expect in each publication?

It depends on the time of year and which part of the country you cover. Please call a representative at 443-974-8897 to get a specific number for your area.


Can I search for leads based on filters I choose?

There is an “advanced search” option which allows the subscriber to define their search using a number of options, including city, state, zip code, phone number, email address and more.


Can my leads be automatically uploaded into my CRM?

We have introduced an integration program that can be used with a number of the most popular CRM’s. Working with our IT Department, you can choose exactly how you would like your leads imported. You can also use the .csv download to manually import the leads into any CRM or database you are using for customer management.

What data is included in each publication?

Each report is unique, but essentially we track down as much contact information as is available.  We know that the top sales professionals use mulitple points of contact to establish a good working relationship and we work hard to make that available.  Data points like decision maker name, phone number, email address, websites, Alcohol permit, type of restaurant, average check size, etc.

How does billing work after my free sample?

All of our subscriptions are month-to-month, although we do offer pre-payment and multiple-area discounts. (Please call a representative at 443-974-8897 to get full details.)

Most subscribers opt to use our automated payment system to pay by credit card each month; your Account Manager can help to activate your subscription by credit card when he or she contacts you to welcome you, or you can call a representative at 443-974-8897 to begin. We will always e-mail a receipt to you within one business day of the time your card is charged.

Please contact a billing representative at 443-974-8897, to provide your company’s Accounts Payable contact information or to request a W-9.
