Leads for merchant services, POS and payment processing sales teams
New restaurants, cafes and shops need a card terminal, a POS system and a payments provider before they open. Sales tax permits and city food and retail licenses are issued right before opening, which makes them a timely list of businesses still choosing a provider.
These lists filter those records to food service and retail so your team calls the right businesses first.
Why public records work for this
- Texas issues a sales tax permit to every business that sells taxable goods; about 1,400 new food and drink businesses a month in Texas alone.
- Chicago and Philadelphia publish new food and retail licenses daily.
- Los Angeles, San Francisco and Connecticut registrations include NAICS codes, so you can filter to restaurants (722) and retail (44-45).

Frequently asked questions
Is there a phone number?
These business license and permit sources generally do not publish phone numbers. You get the business name and address, which you can look up or visit in person.
Can I get only restaurants?
Yes. Filter by NAICS code 722 where the source has industry codes, or by license type such as food in Chicago and Philadelphia.
