ChangeSignal

Verified local buying-intent · San Francisco restaurants

Know which San Francisco restaurants are opening — before they open.

ChangeSignal cross-checks two independent public filings — a new business registration and a California ABC liquor license at the same address — to surface real venues opening in SF, months before they hit any directory. Every lead ships with the address, the filing dates, and links to both source records as evidence.

Each of these is a real San Francisco venue confirmed by two separate public filings that we resolved to one business — not a scraped listing.

Why corroboration beats a scraped list

Anyone can scrape a directory. The hard, defensible part is proving a venue is really opening — and reaching it first.

1

Two independent filings

A new venue first appears in the SF business registry — the earliest public sign — then gets its CA ABC on-sale liquor license right around opening day. Two separate government records, two separate dates.

2

Resolved to one venue

We match both filings to the same business by street address — even when the names differ or have typos — so you get one clean lead with both source records attached as evidence.

3

Reach them first

POS, payments, insurance, supply, payroll, equipment financing: a new restaurant is in-market the moment it opens. You're there before the directories are.

The same method, beyond restaurants

ChangeSignal applies the same idea — corroborate buying intent from public records — across hiring, funding, expansion, and tech-stack changes. Browse the wider feeds:

By signal type

Hiring
Companies hiring for roles that reveal buying intent — sales, growth, AI, customer ops, and partnerships.
Composite
The strongest signals of all: multiple independent sources lining up on the same company within a short window — fresh funding plus a sales-hiring burst, a new-market subdomain plus regional hiring, an infra change plus IT hiring.
Funding
Fresh financing (detected from SEC Form D filings and press wires) is the single strongest B2B buying trigger — budgets unlock and priorities reset.
Expansion
New region subdomains, product launches, pricing changes, new customer logos, and partner additions — detected from certificate logs and web-page diffs.
Tech adoption
Email/DNS provider switches and new tools appearing across job descriptions — detected from DNS record diffs and JD tech mining.

By what changed

Hiring
Every role a tracked company just opened, closed, or re-posted — a dated log straight from public job boards.
Fundraising & filings
New SEC filings (Form D financings, 8-K material events) as they post — the earliest public paper trail of a budget unlocking.
Tooling
SaaS tools appearing in (and dropping out of) company job descriptions — a dated record of stacks shifting in real time.

By buying intent

Sales expansion
A live list of companies scaling their revenue org — hiring SDRs, AEs, and RevOps. A buying-intent signal they're in-market for lead data, sales engagement, and CRM tooling.
Growth investment
Companies hiring growth, demand-gen, and performance-marketing roles — a signal they're increasing marketing spend and shopping for analytics, attribution, and conversion tooling.
AI investment
Companies hiring AI, ML, and LLM engineers — a buying-intent signal they're standing up AI capabilities and likely in-market for vector DBs, eval/observability, data labeling, and GPU infra.
Customer operations
Companies hiring customer success and support roles — a signal they're investing in retention and likely shopping for helpdesk, knowledge base, and CX-automation tooling.
Partnership expansion
Companies hiring partnership, channel, and alliances roles — a signal they're building indirect revenue and likely in-market for partner CRM/PRM, affiliate software, and ecosystem data.
