What is RestaurantChains.net?

RestaurantChains.net is a directory of sales leads for companies that sell products and services to restaurants. We cover more than 4000 restaurant chain businesses throughout the continental U.S. Unlike most other directories, which go out of date quickly, our listings are updated and reviewed every four months. Clients can receive RestaurantChains.net via online by logging on to our website.

Who publishes RestaurantChains.net?

The directory is offered by Research Report for Foodservice, a leading provider of qualified sales leads covering restaurants, bars, hotels, country clubs and cafes throughout the United States.

How often is RestaurantChains.net mailed or e-mailed to me?

As an online customer you have real-time, anytime access to RestaurantChains.net, which means you’ll see updated information as soon as we post it. As a result of our intensive every four-month re-verification process we help you stay abreast by emailing weekly alert reports displaying all the additions, changes and modifications.

How can I be sure the information in your directory is current?

Our researchers call and confirm all 4000 (and counting) records in RestaurantChains.net at least once during every four-month period. As a rule, new companies are added each week, and information is posted online as soon as we gather it. While we take every precaution to publish information that is 100% accurate, we cannot guarantee against occasional factual errors.

What if I want to broaden my sales efforts beyond multi-concept or multi-unit businesses?

For companies like yours, we also publish FoodserviceReport.com – a weekly report of new restaurant, bar, hotel, country club, and café activity throughout the U.S. (See our website at www.FoodserviceReport.com)

How does RestaurantChains.net differ from other directories?

Fresh data. Most other guides are published once a year and become stale almost immediately. RestaurantChains.net delivers information that is verified and updated at least once every four months. Recently other directories have been claiming quarterly updates, but they are in fact updating only a small portion of records and information every quarter, whereas we update all records and all their information every four months. Therein lies a major difference.

Unique search criteria. Our interactive subscribers benefit from valuable search tools and filters that are simply not found in other directories. Unique categories in our directory include number of seats, square footage, average check size, average unit volume, system wide sales, the date on which information was last verified, and constantly-updated alerts on key additions and changes to the database.

High-quality research. Most of our competitors rely primarily on passive research; they collect data by submitting forms to restaurants once a year. These forms are often ignored or filled out inaccurately. At RestaurantChains.net, our research team collects information by making hundreds of phone calls each week and personally interviewing restaurant managers and corporate personnel. We believe there is no substitute for this kind of comprehensive, outbound telephone research. (Click here to learn more about our custom-designed, proprietary research process.)

How do you come up with check averages, square footage and average check size for companies that have multiple concepts, sizes, and types of operation?

Our research specialists conduct repeated interviews at both corporate locations and individual stores, often calling multiple units within a chain to get information on seating, meal prices and size of the facility. We then create an average based on the results of these interviews, and this is the figure used in our database.

Instead of purchasing the entire directory, can I receive a list sorted by specific criteria?

Yes. Contact us with your search criteria and we’ll prepare a customized report from our database. Most special requests can be turned around quickly and e-mailed within hours. Pricing will vary, depending on your specific criteria.

Who can benefit from the RestaurantChains.net?

Anybody who sells products or services to restaurant chains. Our clients include providers and manufacturers of food, equipment and furnishings, distributors, financial services firms, placement services, consultants and a number of other companies in foodservice-related industries.

How do I know when changes and additions are made to the database?

Subscribers will find new information in the “Alerts” field of the database. And the “Preview Alerts” button will call up a pre-formatted report covering all newly-uncovered information from the prior four months. We find new leads almost daily, with an average of more than 100 alerts added each week. Examples include company expansions, acquisitions, a change in personnel or a new address or phone number – information you need to stay in touch with customers and prospects. We have also added a “Last Verified Date” box so subscribers can see how recently we contacted a company during our re-verification process.

I want to evaluate your directory to see how it compares with what I’m currently using. Can I get a full-featured demo?

Qualified companies can receive a complete demo by contacting us directly. If you sell products and services to restaurants, we invite you to compare the quality and accuracy of our data versus other sources. We believe our product quality and innovative research sets us considerably apart from our competitors and we’re willing to prove it.
