How it works
A new bar or restaurant submits its liquor license application to the state — the first public record of its existence.
LicenseSignal monitors state licensing records every day and normalizes every new application into a clean lead.
Daily or weekly email with every new application in your metro — while your competitors wait for the grand opening.
Built for the people who sell to new restaurants
A new full-bar account is worth tens of thousands a year. Stop relying on cold walk-ins — know the week they file.
New venues choose their POS before opening day. Reach them while the decision is still open.
Liquor liability coverage is required before the license issues. The application is the earliest signal that exists.
