How it works
Sign up, grab your key, pull scored leads for your state. Most vendors are booking their first new-venue outreach the same afternoon.
Sign up with email. Your API key and 100 free trial credits are on screen immediately — no card, no waiting.
Call /v1/openings?state=NY&min_opening_score=40&limit=5. One request shape everywhere — filter by state, city, signal, or score.
Deduped venues with an opening_score, the signals behind them, and dates — clean JSON, ready for your CRM or your agent.
Coverage
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.
✓ = live · soon = on the roadmap. The opening_score (0–100) weights pending liquor +40, issued liquor +30, new LLC +25, food permit +20, and adds a multi-signal bonus — see how scoring works.
Agent-ready
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.
Claude and any MCP client get new_openings, watch_area and venue_signals as tools.

Use cases
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.
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.
Start prospecting →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.
See openings →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.
Get the feed →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.
Find projects →We're early, so instead of dressed-up testimonials, here's the real pipeline and where every lead comes from.
7,450
Pending on-premise liquor applications tracked across California, New York and Texas right now — venues that applied but haven't opened.
100% public
Every lead is built from government open data — state liquor boards, city permits and business registries — fused and scored, never scraped.
1–6 months
How early a venue surfaces before it opens. Roughly 85% of pre-open leads appear 2–12 weeks out, and about 99% ultimately open.

Free trial
Create a free account and see 100 scored pre-open venues in your territory — no card. The full feed, filters and API come with a plan.
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.
Sign up, copy your key, pull your state. That's the whole quickstart.
