How it works
From state record to your Monday list
A restaurant has to register with the State of Texas before its first sale. EarlyDoor watches those records so you don't have to.
-
Texas records the permit
Every restaurant needs a Texas sales-tax permit before it can make a sale. The state publishes new permits every week, often weeks before opening day.
-
We clean and label it
We remove food trucks, online sellers and home businesses, then label every entry: opening soon, just opened or an existing restaurant under a new owner, plus type, chain or independent, liquor license and any earlier restaurant at the address.
-
You get Monday's list
At about 6 a.m. Central, the week's new restaurants arrive as an Excel file and a CSV, sorted by county and city, ready for your routes or your CRM.
In every entry

Who it's for
Built for the companies that serve restaurants
EarlyDoor lists addresses and opening dates, not phone numbers, so it works best for teams that reach a new restaurant in person or by mail.
Hood cleaning and fire suppression
Every commercial kitchen needs its exhaust hood cleaned and its fire-suppression system inspected on a schedule. Be the first company a new owner hears from.
Grease trap and used cooking oil
Kitchens need recurring grease-trap pumping and oil pickup from their first weeks. Add new restaurants to your routes before another hauler does.

FAQ
Questions vendors ask
Where does the data come from?
Public records from the State of Texas: the Comptroller's list of sales-tax permit holders, which the state publishes as public domain, and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission's license list. We filter, label and check them before they reach you. See data sources and corrections.
How often is the data updated?
The Texas Comptroller publishes new sales-tax permits once a week, usually early Saturday morning. We check the state's data every day and send the week's new restaurants every Monday at about 6 a.m. Central.
How early will I hear about a new restaurant?
It depends on when the owner registers. In a 6-week head start from September 2026, 213 of the 335 brand-new restaurants reached a Monday list before their first-sale date, typically about three weeks ahead, and 91 of them a month or more ahead.
Do entries include phone numbers?
No. Many brand-new independents don't have a published phone number or website yet. Every entry includes the storefront address and a map link, and when a company owns the restaurant, the owner's mailing address, so a letter or a visit reaches them.
Which counties does Dallas–Fort Worth cover?
All 11 counties of the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant and Wise. That includes Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Garland, Frisco, McKinney, Denton, Richardson, Lewisville and the towns around them.
What do I get when I subscribe?
Right away, a 6-week head start: every new restaurant from the last six Monday lists, usually several hundred, emailed within minutes of your payment. Then a new list every Monday at about 6 a.m. Central, covering just that week. Your first Monday list picks up exactly where the head start ends, so no restaurant ever appears twice.
Can I get just my area?
Every list covers the whole metro, so you never miss an opening just across your line. It comes as both an Excel file and a CSV, sorted by county and city. In Excel, the filter buttons in the first row narrow it to the counties or cities you serve in a couple of clicks.
How do I cancel?
Any time, from the Manage billing link in any EarlyDoor email or at the bottom of this site. We'll email you a confirmation with the date of your last list, and you keep your Monday lists through the end of the month you paid for.
Are there rules for contacting these businesses?
Yes. The data is public, but calls, texts and emails to businesses are regulated, including Do Not Call lists, the federal CAN-SPAM Act and Texas telemarketing law. You're responsible for following them when you reach out.
What about other cities or industries?
Dallas–Fort Worth restaurants come first. Houston and other kinds of new businesses are next. Email us if there's one you'd pay for.
