What's included

Restaurant data

Every restaurant account combines location and format data, menu-item detail, and verified foodservice decision-maker contacts. No need to stitch together generic restaurant email lists, LinkedIn or Google searches, and cold guesses about what's on the menu.

Segment, format & service profiles

Filter by service style, cuisine, location, and single-unit vs. chain, so you're never buried inside a one-size-fits-all restaurant list. Build lists are as narrow as "1-3 locations, fine dining, 43230 zip code, pasta on the menu" or as broad as "every QSR restaurant in California."

Menu-item-level data

Drawn from First Bite's always up-to-date menu dataset, so you can see whether a restaurant already serves plant-based milks, gluten-free pastas, meatloaf, espresso martinis, or literally any other item before you pitch. Build target segments that match your ideal customer profile.

Verified foodservice purchasing contacts

Owners, GMs, executive chefs, culinary directors, beverage managers, operations and foodservice purchasing leads — verified and refreshed when you request them.

Location & volume detail

Single-unit and chain location counts, predicted traffic, reviews, Instagram followers, and expense category details so you can size the opportunity before you reach out.

“I picked First Bite because you solved for the biggest pain point in every salesperson’s life. Having the operators preloaded and being able to get in there and see the information cuts down on so much of our administrative time.”
Ryan Ewald
Director of Foodservice, Branding Iron Holdings

Using First Bite's restaurant & menu dataset

Find restaurants that match your ideal customer profile

Combine location, reviews, amenities, and chain counts to build territory-specific target lists and identify addressable whitespace.

Prioritize accounts by menu fit, not just region

Use menu-item data to find restaurants already serving, or not serving, a specific item so your outreach is personalized and more likely to convert.

Get new SKUs in front of who actually decides

Route outreach straight to the owner, head chef, operations director, or purchasing lead who makes foodservice decisions.

Why First Bite

Purpose-built for foodservice

Foodservice-specific, not scraped from generic firmographic lists

Data and contact details are matched to what f&b manufacturers need to properly prospect new foodservice accounts, providing information that generic contact databases don't have.

Menu-aware prospecting

See what's currently being served — specialty coffees, sauces, proteins, etc. — before you pitch, instead of cold-guessing product fit. Map your total addressable market with up-to-date restaurant data.

Always current contacts

Contacts are verified as you request them instead of pulled from a static list. Meaning current decision makers, no bounced emails, and better reply rates from each outreach effort.

One tool for GTM

Evaluate operator data, access verified bakery and cafe purchasing contacts, launch email outreach, and push targets straight into First Bite's CRM. No piecing together multiple tools.
