New restaurant leads for food distributor reps
A new restaurant picks its broadline and specialty suppliers during build-out, long before the first service. The license filing is the earliest public sign that one is coming to your territory.
Why the filing matters to you
The window is before opening
Chefs and owners lock in their order guide, their delivery days and their credit terms in the weeks before the doors open. A rep who walks in after the grand opening is asking someone to switch.
A filing gives you the address
Every filing carries the premises address, so you can drive by, see the build-out and find the owner or chef on site. Most new places are not on Google yet.
Ownership changes are a second chance
When a restaurant changes hands the new owner often re-bids the whole order guide. Transfers are their own event in the feed.
The watch you start with
Pick "Foodservice distributor" when you sign up and the feed starts with this watch. Change any of it in your settings.

Questions
How many leads a week is that for food distributors?

Can several reps share one subscription?
Up to 3 people can receive the email, and you can save 10 watches, for example one per territory. $25 a month covers all of it.
