Every signal, one scored venue
A liquor-only feed can't tell a pre-open from a renewal. We fuse every public signal into one venue and score it — so pending applications and fresh permits rise to the top.

Hand your agent the keys to new-venue data
Scored leads are LLM-ready, and every endpoint is exposed as an MCP tool. Whether your agent speaks MCP or just calls functions — prospecting new restaurants is one tool call.

REST
Plain HTTP, any stack
One API key, one URL. Clean JSON your CRM, sheet, or function-calling tool can use.
curl -H "X-API-Key: pk_…" \
"https://api.restosignals.com
/v1/openings?state=NY"
Consistent fields, real dates, a score you can sort on — every response is ready to drop straight into a context window or a CRM import.
Works where your sales team already works
Push new scored leads straight into a sheet, your CRM, a Slack channel, or an agent — no code, just your API key and a webhook.
Who reaches new venues first
Everyone who sells to a new restaurant is competing for the same opening. The score tells you who's real, and the dates tell you when to call.
→ pos-and-payments
POS & merchant services
Every new venue needs a point-of-sale and a merchant account before day one. Reach them while they're choosing — not after a competitor installed the terminal.
→ food-and-beverage
Food & beverage distribution
A pending liquor license is a buyer forming their first supplier relationships. Get on the list before the doors open with a scored, deduped feed by state and city.
→ insurance
Insurance & compliance
New restaurants need liquor liability, property and workers' comp. Fresh permits and filings are your earliest signal that a policy is about to be shopped.
→ contractors
Contractors & suppliers
Build permits and new filings mean fit-outs, kitchen equipment, signage and furniture. Catch the project at the permit stage, not at the grand opening.
Sales teams say it best
"We were finding new restaurants from Google Maps a month after they opened. Now we call them while the liquor license is still pending."
Maya K.
Sales lead, POS platform
"The opening_score is the feature. It sorts out the renewals so my reps only work venues that are actually about to open."
Daniel R.
Ops, beverage distributor
"One webhook drops new scored venues straight into our CRM every morning. Our reps start the day with a fresh call list."
Priya S.
Founder, insurance agency
Priced for a sales team, not a scraper.

Questions, answered
One credit = one returned lead (a fused, scored venue). You only pay for records you actually receive — filters that return nothing cost nothing. Every plan lists its monthly credit grant, and the full table is on the pricing page.
Public government open-data only: state liquor authorities (TX TABC, NY SLA), city permit and health departments (Chicago, NYC), and business-filing registries (NY). We fuse those raw signals into one deduped venue and score how close it is to opening — that fusion is the product.
Source records update daily, and we re-ingest, re-match and re-score on a regular schedule. New pending liquor applications and permits surface soon after they hit the public record — often months before the venue opens.
Yes. Self-serve cancellation from the dashboard, no retention flows, no surprise renewals. Unused credits stay valid until the end of your billing period.
