1M+ restaurants in the US. traditional databases can't find any of them.
70% of the $900 billion US restaurant industry is independently owned. The owner of a 30-seat Italian place in Miami isn't in traditional B2B databases - they have a health department permit, a liquor license, and a Google Maps listing with 400 reviews. That's where Fold Talk finds them.
AI agents that find restaurant owners where they actually operate.
Restaurant owners aren't in traditional B2B databases. They're on Google Maps, health department permit databases, Yelp, OpenTable, and liquor license filings. Fold Talk's AI agents search these sources in real time, surfacing businesses, owners, and buying signals that traditional databases were never built to find.
Find restaurant owners ready to buy. Qualified list in under 2 minutes.
Health department permits as verification
Every restaurant needs a health department permit to operate. Fold Talk searches county and state health departments directly, pulling establishment name, owner, permit type, inspection grade, and renewal status in real time.
Liquor license filings as growth signals
A restaurant that just filed for a new liquor license is investing in higher margins. Fold Talk monitors new and upgraded liquor license filings as real-time signals that an owner is expanding the business or launching a new concept.
Yelp & Google review velocity
Review velocity reveals which restaurants are thriving vs. stagnant. Fold Talk tracks new review counts per month, star rating trends, and response rates, identifying fast-growing restaurants that competitors' static databases completely miss.
Delivery platform presence as tech adoption
Restaurants listing on DoorDash, UberEats, or Grubhub signal openness to technology and revenue diversification. Fold Talk detects new delivery platform listings and menu changes as indicators of tech-forward ownership.
Frequently asked questions.
Can Fold Talk find restaurants owners and decision-makers?
Yes - Fold Talk searches Google Maps, industry directories, licensing databases, and the live web to find restaurants along with verified owner names, emails, and phone numbers. Traditional databases like Apollo and ZoomInfo have poor coverage of this vertical because they rely on social profile data, which most restaurants owners don't maintain.
Why can't I find restaurants in Apollo or ZoomInfo?
Apollo and ZoomInfo index social profiles and enterprise firmographics. Most restaurants owners are missing from traditional B2B databases or enterprise records. Fold Talk is built differently - it searches Google Maps, state licensing boards, industry-specific directories, review sites, and real-time web data to find restaurants that traditional B2B databases miss entirely.
What information does Fold Talk return for restaurants?
Fold Talk returns company name, owner/decision-maker name, verified email, direct phone number, address, Google rating, review count, employee count, and any available growth signals like recent hires, new locations, or service expansions. All contact data is verified in real time.
How is Fold Talk different from Apollo, ZoomInfo, or Clay?
- Cheaper: Paid plans from $99/month.
- Simpler: Start with one prompt, no filters, booleans, or new tool to learn.
- Same depth: We integrate the same kinds of data sources as Clay, without giving up simplicity.
How accurate is the contact data for restaurants?
Emails are 95%+ accurate. Fold Talk waterfall-enriches across multiple providers and verifies in real time. Phone numbers are validated the same way. For restaurants specifically, Fold Talk cross-references multiple sources to ensure you're reaching the actual owner or decision-maker, not a generic info@ address.
Can I search for restaurants by city or state?
Yes. Just describe what you're looking for - "Find restaurants in Phoenix with 4+ stars and 10+ employees" - and Fold Talk handles the rest. You can filter by any combination of location, size, ratings, reviews, hiring activity, or growth signals.
Can I import my own list of restaurants to enrich?
Yes. Upload a CSV of your existing restaurants contacts and Fold Talk will fill in missing data - verified emails, direct phone numbers, owner names, and company details. You can also use your existing list to find lookalike companies that match the same profile.
What data sources does Fold Talk use?
Fold Talk aggregates 15+ sources including Google Maps, social company profiles, job postings, tech stack data, state licensing databases, industry directories, review sites, and real-time email and phone verification. The combination gives Fold Talk coverage that no single database can match.
Does Fold Talk include social and email sequencing?
Yes - and it's free on every paid plan. The built-in Sequencer runs multi-step social and email cadences from your own connected accounts. Up to 10 steps per channel, unlimited sends, multi-account rotation, and one shared inbox for replies. No add-on, no per-seat fee, no exporting to Instantly or Smartlead.
How does pricing work?
Usage is spent per step - fetches, research, and enrichments each cost different amounts. Plans start at $99/mo for $165 of usage. Most users find a single list of 50-100 leads costs a few dollars.
