A liquor-license application is the earliest public record that a bar or restaurant is opening. We watch the state filings daily and email you the new ones in your territory, while they're still choosing their POS system, insurance, and suppliers.

Every liquor authority publishes new applications — scattered across portals nobody checks. We poll them twice a day and normalize the records.
Your counties, your lead types: bars & restaurants, retail stores, or everything.
Business name, address, license type, filing date — the day the state publishes. That's typically 30–90 days before opening.
A new applicant is choosing a point-of-sale system right now. Be the first call, not the fifth.
Every one of them needs liquor liability and general liability before opening day. The filing beats any lead list by weeks.
Food and beverage, equipment, linen, payroll — new operators are signing suppliers in exactly this window.
