New restaurants opening near my branches
New restaurants opening within 2 km of your branches, by cuisine, every week.
What it does
Every Monday: restaurants and cafes that opened within 2 km of your branches, only the new ones, sorted by cuisine, to your inbox and Slack.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, take your table, find restaurants, coffee shops and fast food restaurants nearby, keep only new ones, clean up their categories, then email the list to you and send message to a channel in Slack.
Why it is useful
A new restaurant of the same cuisine next door matters more than ten others. Sorting by cuisine shows which ones to watch.
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
- A cloud kitchen brand

What each run gives you
- An email by cuisine
- A Slack post
The time it saves
Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 3 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
