Who builds a list of full-service restaurants

This page is for people who sell to this trade, not for people who need one.

Restaurants are the largest single category of local business, and they are sold to by everyone: food and beverage distributors, POS and online-ordering platforms, reservation and delivery services, payroll and scheduling software, linen and equipment suppliers, and marketing agencies. Because the category is so large, the value is not in the list — it is in the filter that cuts it down to the restaurants a particular seller can actually help.

The lists sold for this purpose go stale the month they are compiled — businesses open, close, move and change owners constantly. A list you build yourself from Google Maps is current to the day you ran it, costs nothing on the free plan, and covers exactly the territory you asked for. The rest of this page is how.

How many full-service restaurants there are

258,626 employer full-service restaurants in the United States, 43% of them with fewer than ten employees.

That national figure is from the U.S. Census Bureau's County Business Patterns, which counts every business with at least one paid employee by industry and county. The share under ten employees matters more than the total: those are the independents who make their own purchasing decisions, and they are the majority of this trade.

The Census code used here, NAICS 722511, is full-service restaurants — table service. Fast food, cafés and bars are separate codes and are not included in this count.

The seven largest metros, from the same source, densest first. The full breakdown with national comparisons is on the how many full-service restaurants are in the US page.

What a Google Maps listing tells you about a full-service restaurant

The listing is a better prospecting signal than a purchased record, because it shows how the business presents itself right now.

A restaurant's Google Maps listing is its front door in a way that is not true of any trade. Customers read the reviews, check the hours, and look at the photos before they walk in. So the listing tells you a lot: a restaurant with 800 reviews, current hours, a menu link and an online-ordering button is being run by someone who understands that. A restaurant with 60 reviews, no website, hours that have not been updated since a schedule change, and no reply to the one-star review from last month is not — and it is losing customers it never sees to the place next door that is.

Filters that matter for restaurants

These are the columns worth sorting a list of this trade by. Each one is captured by the extension and exported alongside the contact data.

  1. No website or ordering link

    A restaurant with no way to order or book online is losing the customers who look before they go.

  2. Under 50 reviews

    Restaurant review counts run high. Under 50 at an established place means low volume or no one asking.

  3. Unanswered one- and two-star reviews

    The single most damaging thing on a restaurant listing, and the easiest for a reputation service to fix.

  4. Hours marked as possibly incorrect

    Google flags these. It means the owner has not confirmed the listing in a long time.

How to build the list

Four steps, in your browser, on the free plan.

  1. Search Google Maps for "restaurant" in your territory

    Any city, any radius. The extension reads whatever the map is showing, so the territory is whatever you searched.

  2. Run a scan

    Local Scan takes the results on screen. Radius Scan sweeps an area around a point. Auto Scan works through a list of cities while you do something else.

  3. Enrich the results

    The extension visits each business's website and profile to find a public email, an owner name, social profiles, and the signals the filters above depend on.

  4. Filter, then export

    Sort by the filters that matter for restaurants, keep the rows worth contacting, and export to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets or JSON.

What you get for each business

Every row is a business from the map, with the contact and profile fields the enrichment pass could find.

From the listing

Present for every business.

  • Business name and category
  • Address, city, state
  • Phone number
  • Website, or whether one exists
  • Rating and review count
  • Google Maps URL and Place ID

From enrichment

Best-effort. Depends on what the business has published.

  • Public email address
  • Owner or decision-maker name
  • Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and other profiles
  • Opening hours
  • Website platform and whether it has a contact form

Derived

Computed to help you sort a long list.

  • Days since the last review
  • Unanswered review count
  • Owner response rate
  • Google Business Profile completeness
  • Pain Score (0–10)

No tool can produce an email a business never published. Where enrichment looks and finds nothing, the export says so explicitly rather than leaving a blank — so a list of full-service restaurants with a real email in every row is smaller than the full list, and that is the honest number.

Questions

Is this a restaurant email list I can download?
No. This page describes how to build one yourself from Google Maps using a free Chrome extension. That is deliberate: a list you build today is current today, and it covers your territory rather than a vendor's. A list you buy was compiled months ago for everyone.
How many of them will have an email address?
It varies by trade and by how the business presents itself online. Enrichment finds an email where the business has published one on its website or profile; where it has not, no tool can invent one. Expect a meaningful share of rows to have a phone and no email, and treat the phone as the contact for those.
Why is the count by county rather than by city?
Because that is the finest geography the Census publishes business counts at. The table above names the county — Harris County, not Houston — so the number describes what it actually measured. Two of the seven, Philadelphia and New York City, are coterminous with their counties, so there the city name is exact.
What does the free plan cover?
500 leads a month, 50 a day, and 250 enrichments a month, with no card required. That is enough to build a working list for one trade in one metro. Paid plans raise those limits; see pricing.
