400 UK planning registers watched · openings live from 224 councils · all four nations

Know which businesses are opening, months before they do.

TriggerFeed reads UK council planning registers, and premises-licence registers where councils publish them, and tells you the moment a new independent venue files to open, while they are still fitting out. You are the first supplier through the door, not the fifth.

The problem

By the time a new venue is open, the deal is already gone.

A café, restaurant or takeaway signs its EPOS, its insurance, its wholesale and its kitchen fit-out in the weeks before it opens. Find out when it is trading and you are too late. Someone quoted them three months ago. Referrals and bought lists are slow, stale and shared with everyone.

How it works

Signal, not a raw scrape.

01

We watch every register

Planning applications across 400 UK councils, plus premises-licence filings where councils publish them. The busiest registers are checked hourly, the rest weekly. The moment a new venue files, it is on our radar.

02

We separate the real openings

Our classifier throws away closures, duplicates, chains and renovations, keeping only genuine new independent openings. You get signal, not noise.

03

You get them first

A clean weekly feed: what is opening, where, and what stage it is at, months before the doors open, with time to win the account.

Real detections

This is what the feed actually finds.

Every row is a real independent hospitality opening we detected from a public planning register, with the true lead time before it began trading. Addresses are partly redacted here. Subscribers get them in full.

Validated against the Food Standards Agency register: each of these became a trading food business on the timeline shown. Across the openings confirmed so far, the gap from filing to trading has run from one to seven months, typically three to five, and it lengthens as this year's filings open.

Why it stays valuable

One supplier per category, per region. Then it closes.

A lead everyone else has is not a lead. We license each supplier category in each region to a single business. When EPOS in West Yorkshire is taken, it is taken. Your competitors cannot buy the same feed. That is the whole point, and it is why founding places matter.

Founding places

Claim your category before a competitor does.

Founding-supplier places from £99/month. One per category, per region. Tell us your category and region and we will confirm if it is still open.

Where does the data come from?

Public UK planning and premises-licensing registers. It is all legitimately public information. Our work is detecting the genuine openings inside the noise, weeks or months before anyone else notices, and handing them to you clean.

How far ahead will I hear about an opening?

On the openings we have confirmed against the Food Standards Agency register, the gap from filing to trading has been one to seven months, typically three to five. Enough time to quote, sample and win the account before the venue opens.

Why only one supplier per category?

Because shared leads are worthless. Exclusivity is what makes the feed worth paying for. When your category and region is claimed, we close it.

Do you cover my region?

We publish openings from 224 councils across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; the map shows what is live in your area today. A few council portals block automated reading and are not yet covered. Register your category and we will tell you exactly when your area goes live, founding places are honoured as we expand.
