How to choose
Two kinds of signal: openings (liquor-license and permit filings, weeks before opening) and inspections (citations that create urgent demand for pest, hood and food-safety vendors).
OpeningIQ ($19/mo) is the cheapest opening feed; DineTracer charges per lead ($0.50). Inspection-based lists (Restaurant Signals, InspectWire) start at $79-149/mo.
Check coverage first: many of these cover a handful of metros only.
At least one well-known opening feed (BuildoutFeed) has shut down, so prefer month-to-month terms.
