What it does

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, find restaurant supply stores, wholesalers and kitchen supply stores within 25 km of a point, score and rank them with xMap AI, sort them by review_score and keep the top 10, then email the list to you and add row in Google Sheets.

The time it saves
