The Excel adds the address, the government link and any phone, email or website the business publishes: 12 of 67 Ohio records in this edition have one.
Columbus / Worthington, Ohio. City layer updated nightly, checked daily.
Restaurants, coffee shops, pizza shops, bars and bakeries whose food permit Columbus Public Health entered in the last 90 days, dated by the day the department entered it, with the facility phone it publishes. A new permit can be a newly opened facility or an existing one licensed again, for example under a new owner; it is not a confirmed opening date. Carryout and grocery stores, gas stations, caterers, mobile units, venue stands, cafeterias, hotels, schools, care homes and shops that sell only packaged food are left out.
Cincinnati, Ohio. City table refreshed daily, checked daily.
Restaurants, cafes, bars and bakeries in the City of Cincinnati whose new food license from the Cincinnati Health Department had its first inspection in the last 90 days, dated by that inspection, with the business phone the department lists. The department publishes no license issue or opening date and no type of business, so restaurants are picked by name, or by the city's building permits classing the address as a restaurant or bar premises (use group A-2). A record is a newly licensed business, or an existing one licensed again under a new number, for example under a new owner; an inspection date is not an opening date. A new number under the name the department already lists at the address is the same business licensed again and is left out. Stores and markets, food trucks, caterers, stadium and arena stands, venues, hotels, schools, child care, hospitals and businesses licensed before the department's 2024 change of system are left out.
Cincinnati, Ohio. City dataset refreshed daily, checked daily.
Commercial building permits applied for at Cincinnati premises the city classes as A-2, the building-code use group for restaurants, bars and other places where food or drink is served: alterations, additions, repairs and new buildings, from application through issue. The permit record does not name the restaurant operator or publish a phone; the food facility the city's food-safety license list shows at the same address is cited when there is exactly one. Sign, trade-only and withdrawn permits are left out. A permit at the address of a newly licensed restaurant is shown on that restaurant's own record instead. A permit is not a confirmed opening.
When FranBizNetwork, the brokerage that runs Restaurant Intel, closes the sale of a franchise restaurant in Ohio, 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.
Outside Columbus / Worthington and Cincinnati, Ohio 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.
