What we collect in Pennsylvania

New food-service license

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. City dataset, checked daily.

Newly issued food-establishment licenses from the city's licensing records, with the owner contact a company lists on its license. Child care, schools and churches are left out.

City of Philadelphia, Licenses and Inspections

Restaurant zoning or building permit

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. City dataset updated daily, checked daily.

Zoning permits from the City of Philadelphia that approve a sit-down restaurant, take-out restaurant or prepared food shop for a property (most are a change of use), commercial building permits for a restaurant fit-out, a new tenant, a change of use to a restaurant or a new restaurant building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical permits whose scope says they create or fit out a restaurant, and certificates of occupancy for a restaurant. Each record is dated by its latest stage (issued, work completed, certificate of occupancy). The city publishes no business name and no phone, so a record is the premises. Signs, repairs and renovations of an existing restaurant, school and university dining halls, the airport, 30th Street Station and temporary seating are left out. A permit is not a confirmed opening.

City of Philadelphia, Licenses and Inspections

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 Pennsylvania, 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 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 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.
  • Phone numbers: a Pennsylvania row needs a lookup before a call, from the name, address and government link.
  • 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.
