No card required. Two weekly deliveries. Continue only if you choose.
What arrives
A weekly email and downloadable CSV with new ISSUE records, business names, DBAs, premises addresses, license dates, official record references, and clearly labeled inferred venue categories.
Useful for sales routes serving Chicago food businesses, including linen, disposables, POS, insurance and restaurant-service suppliers.
Why pay for a free public source?

Limits and source notes
Chicago city only, not the entire metro area. Weekly monitoring, not guaranteed volume. The base feed has no verified owner names, personal emails, personal phone numbers, pre-opening dates, purchase intent, exclusivity, or guaranteed new restaurant openings. Government records are provided as-is and may change. Categories are inferences and are not City fields.
