Frequently asked questions
Does registration mean an open restaurant?
No — it means a company was just formed under a food-service SIC code, typically weeks-to-months before opening. That lead time is exactly what makes the data valuable for suppliers.
Can I get just takeaways, or just licensed restaurants?
Yes — each of the three SIC codes can be exported separately. Custom cuts within 48 hours.
Are there personal contact details?
No. Company-level fields only; personal-data-shaped columns are stripped in the pipeline.
