What we collect in Georgia

New restaurant business license

Unincorporated Gwinnett County (metro Atlanta), Georgia. Weekly county list, checked daily.

Restaurants, cafes, snack bars and bars at commercial addresses in unincorporated Gwinnett County, northeast of Atlanta (postal addresses in Lawrenceville, Duluth, Norcross, Buford, Snellville, Stone Mountain and the county's other towns), from the county's weekly list of business licenses issued, with the location phone on the license. The county gives no issue day, so a record is dated by its weekly list. The date of establishment the business gave is on the record: a license can go to a new restaurant or an existing one, for example under a new owner or after an earlier license lapsed; it is not a confirmed opening. Restaurants inside a city's limits are licensed by that city and are not on the list. Home-based businesses, caterers and mobile food are left out.

Gwinnett County, Planning and Development (Business License Division)

New restaurant business license

Alpharetta, Georgia. City register refreshed nightly, checked daily.

Restaurants, cafes and bars at commercial addresses in the City of Alpharetta (north Fulton County, metro Atlanta) whose city business license starts in the last 90 days, dated by that start date, with the business phone on the license. A bar is labelled a bar, not a restaurant. A new license can go to a new restaurant or an existing one under a new owner or at a new location; it is not a confirmed opening. Home-based businesses, caterers, food trucks and contract cafeterias are left out, and so is a license that could be under a person's own name and a phone the city lists on more than one license.

Restaurant construction permit application

Atlanta, Georgia. City export refreshed about daily, checked daily.

Commercial building permit records opened by the city whose project name names a restaurant, cafe, bar, bakery or other eating place, dated the day the record was opened. Almost every record is a permit application under review, and the record says so: an application is not an issued permit and does not show that work has started. The city publishes no phone or applicant and names the project as the applicant typed it, so a record can carry a project description rather than the business name. Demolitions, closed projects, nail and paint bars, cigar lounges, caterers, institutional kitchens and residential kitchen remodels are left out.

Franchise restaurant sold

Nationwide, a few a month. Checked daily.

When FranBizNetwork, the brokerage that runs Restaurant Intel, closes the sale of a franchise restaurant in Georgia, the sold location is in the report too: address, brand, close date and the business phone when the brokerage has it. It is our own sale record, not a government filing, and the row says so. Never the buyer, seller or price.

FranBizNetwork

Not covered

  • Outside Unincorporated Gwinnett County (metro Atlanta), Alpharetta and Atlanta, Georgia has SBA 7(a) financing approvals as background, plus any franchise restaurant FranBizNetwork sold there.
  • Only what these registers publish, on the publisher's own schedule.
  • Loan requests. A filing shows activity, not a need for a loan; an ownership change is not a business for sale, and a franchise or chain is labeled, not removed.
