Preopening Restaurants Resource, the trusted lead generation and research platform for restaurant technology providers, foodservice vendors, and other restaurant suppliers, has announced the expansion of its services into Canada. This strategic move marks a major milestone for the company as it grows from a U.S.-focused platform to a North America-wide resource for preopening restaurant intelligence.
Launched in 2019, Preopening Restaurants Resource helps restaurant technology solution providers, food manufacturers and other restaurant suppliers gain a competitive edge by offering early, verified access to detailed data on new restaurant openings—often months before they launch. With the addition of Canadian markets, subscribers will now be able to access new restaurant leads in major cities and regions across Canada, including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, and more.
“Expanding into Canada has been a top priority as we continue to grow our footprint and meet demand from both our U.S.-based and Canadian clients,” said Marv Allen, account manager at Starfleet Media, the leading provider of content marketing and lead generation programs for hospitality technology solution providers and which owns and operates Preopening Restaurants Resource. “The research team is now tracking new restaurant developments throughout Canada, applying the same rigorous methodology used in the U.S. to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable lead data.”
Preopening Restaurants Resource subscribers will receive twice-weekly emails with password-protected reports that now include restaurants in Canada that are under construction, preparing to open, or changing ownership if that they choose that geographic region as part of their target prospect criteria. Each lead is manually researched and verified and includes critical information such as:
- Restaurant name and category
- Location and contact details
- Decision-maker names and titles
- Type of cuisine, average check size, and ownership background
- Opening timelines and relevant project data
The expansion into Canada includes full access to the platform’s advanced features, such as searchable online access, CRM integration, and downloadable .CSV and Excel files for efficient lead management. This new coverage also opens the door for restaurant vendors, suppliers, and tech providers operating in Canada to use the platform to identify and connect with operators early in the planning phase—before competitors and before key purchasing decisions have been made.
