Every new bar and restaurant in Texas files for a liquor license months before it opens. FirstCalling reads those filings daily and sends your team the venue, the owner, the address and the license type every Monday — 60 to 120 days before the doors open, and before anyone has picked a processor, a POS or a supplier.
Two weeks free. No card, no call. Texas statewide.

Walk into an open restaurant and you’re pitching a switch: fight the incumbent, argue about termination fees, wait out a contract. Most of those conversations end at the host stand.
A venue that just filed for its liquor license has a lease, a build-out, and an opening date — and no processor, no POS, no distributor, no insurance. That’s the conversation you want. FirstCalling tells you where it is.

Placeholder figures. Each one is marked for verification against the state record.
Every new bar and restaurant in Texas applies to the state before it can pour a drink.
FirstCalling pulls each new application from the state’s public records daily, scores it, and flags what matters: restaurant or bar, full liquor or beer and wine, first-time operator or chain.
Every Monday morning, your metro’s new filings arrive by email and in your dashboard, with a CSV for your CRM.
Assign metros and counties to each rep. Everyone sees only their territory, the whole team works from the same weekly file, and nobody calls a venue that’s already been worked.
One file. Every record below belongs to exactly one rep.
Sample records, fictional venues. Sample reps, for demonstration.
The state filing names the venue and its owner entity. FirstCalling adds the person behind it, how to reach them, and what the record says about the sale. Hover or tap a field to see why it matters. Sample record, fictional venue.
