A new restaurant, café or shop has to take payments from its first customer. Firstfile's AI models find the new venues and shops in your area overnight, so they're on your desk each morning, named and addressed, before they sign with whoever walks in first.

Firstfile analysis of the Companies House register, incorporations 21–27 September 2026.

What a lead looks like

A reason to call, not just a row.

  • Venues first. Restaurants, bars and takeaways score highest, because they need terminals, a till and often table-side payment before they open.
  • Fitting-out signals. A domain that says "coming soon" usually means the premises aren't open yet. That's your window.
  • Names and addresses. Every lead names its directors and owners and gives the full registered office, straight from the register, plus a company email and phone where they publish one. Never personal email addresses.

Pitch angle · Card payments & tills lensNew licensed restaurant with its site still "coming soon", so it's probably fitting out. It needs card terminals, a till with table plans and next-day settlement before the first service. Lead with pay-at-table and one flat monthly fee.

Restaurants, bars and takeaways

They take cards from the first night and often need table-side payment and a kitchen screen.

Warm

Shops, salons and clinics

Counter payments, bookings and stock. Many compare providers in their first month.
