Watch new competitors

What it does

Every morning: competitors that opened in your city since yesterday, emailed and on a map.

In one sentence: Every day at 07:30, in Sydney, find restaurants, keep only new ones, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Knowing a competitor opened the week it opened lets you react with offers and local marketing before customers switch.

Who it is for

Restaurants & cafes. Owners and operators of restaurants, cafes and food brands watching competitors, reviews and the next branch. Every use case for restaurants & cafes

Best use cases

• A restaurant group watching its city
• A retailer watching new rivals
• A gym chain tracking new gyms

What each run gives you

• An email with the list
• A map of the results

The time it saves

Every day at 07:30. Doing the same work by hand takes about 20 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 10 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
