Who buys restaurants leads
- Reservation, POS, and delivery platforms onboarding venues.
- Food-and-beverage suppliers and distributors building route lists.
- Hospitality marketing agencies and event organizers.
Generate an enriched, current list of restaurants in any city from a single search.
restaurantcafebistroThe problem
Restaurants turn over fast: new spots open, others close, and ownership changes hands constantly. Any static restaurant list is wrong within months - you waste outreach on closed venues and miss the ones that just opened. On top of that, the people you want to reach (owners, managers) hide behind reservation lines and Instagram DMs, not a tidy corporate email.
biz collect treats freshness as the whole point. You search a city for restaurants, cafes, or bistros and get a live result, deduped, with each venue's website crawled for emails and social handles. Because it runs on demand, the list reflects what is open right now - and you can re-pull a neighborhood any time without owning a scraper.
How it works
A city plus keywords becomes a fresh, enriched list - generated live, never pulled from a static file. See the full pipeline.
Send POST /v1/search with the city, a radius, and keywords like 'restaurant', 'cafe', and 'bistro'. A job_id returns immediately and the search runs live.
Poll GET /v1/jobs/:id until it completes. Polling costs nothing, so gathering and deduping venues across a city adds no extra credits.
Enrichment crawls each restaurant's website for deduped emails and social profiles - often the only direct line to an owner or manager.
Each venue returns with name, category, address, phone, website, emails, socials, ratings, reviews, and opening hours in a stable schema.
Use live open/closed status to drop shuttered spots, then push the fresh list into outreach or export CSV on the Business plan.
Fields that matter
live open/closed statusRestaurants churn constantly - this field is what stops you from emailing a venue that closed last month.
social profilesHospitality runs on Instagram; a social handle is often the most active and reachable channel for a venue.
email(s)Booking and management emails crawled from the site - the path to an owner past the reservation line.
categorySeparates restaurants from cafes, bars, and bistros so you can target the exact dining segment you serve.
ratings, reviews, opening hoursVolume and hours hint at venue scale and the best windows to reach a manager who is not mid-service.
Example
Illustrative · LisbonImagine a reservations platform launching in a Lisbon district. They run one biz collect search for 'restaurant', 'cafe', and 'bistro' across the area and poll the job until it finishes.
They get a current list of venues with social handles, emails, phone numbers, and live open/closed status. They drop anything marked closed, sort independent venues to the top, and reach out via email and Instagram. This is an illustrative scenario; the venues returned reflect what is publicly listed and open at search time.
Everything you need to generate this list:
Restaurants
POST /v1/search with the city, a radius, and dining keywords, poll the job, and read back venues enriched with website emails and social profiles. Because the search runs live, the list reflects what is open at search time.
Each record carries live open/closed status from the search, so you can filter out shuttered venues. Running on demand instead of from a static file is exactly how biz collect avoids dead listings.
Yes - enrichment returns social profiles alongside any website email, and for many venues the Instagram handle is the most active channel for reaching an owner or manager.
Use precise keywords ('cafe', 'wine bar', 'bistro') and the returned category field to narrow to the exact segment. Each unique keyword query factors into credit cost.
