Where we start
Orlando & Tampa first
We open metro by metro, and only once a metro’s filings are flowing and checked. These are next in line after the first two.
How it works
The license files before the doors do
A new restaurant, bar or shop can’t open in Florida until its state licenses are in place — and those filings are public. That paper trail is how we see openings coming.
The license files first
Before opening day, the business files for its Florida licenses and registrations. The filing lands well ahead of the first customer.
We track and verify
We read the new filings, sort them by metro, and check each one — so the list is real openings on the way, not raw paperwork.
You get the list first
Members receive their metro’s openings list while everyone else is still waiting for a sign in the window.
