Restaurant CRM · Foodservice Sales Intelligence

Be first through
the door.

Field Lead gives your food, condiment, and beverage brand sales teams the early warning system they need to win new accounts in the first 90 days of opening.

New restaurants lock in primary suppliers within 90 days. After that window closes, displacement costs 3–5× more. Being second is not a close loss — it is a permanent loss.

"Our reps find out about new accounts when they drive past them. By the time we call, Sysco has been in three times."— VP of Sales, regional food & beverage distributor

The Problem

Foodservice sales reps
are flying blind.

New accounts win or lose in the first 90 days. Food, condiment, and beverage brands have no system to be first through the door.

01

New openings are invisible

Reps find out about new restaurants by driving past them — weeks after the critical first-mover window has closed. Sysco has already been in three times.

02

Stale territory data

25%+ of calls target accounts that have closed, changed operators, or already locked in a competitor. Food & bev reps waste entire days on dead ends.

03

No early warning system

There is no system to alert reps when high-potential accounts open nearby. High-volume brunch spots, craft cocktail bars, and premium bistros are missed.

04

Missing where growth is happening

Rising chains and high-traffic concepts drive category volume. Brands that align with trending restaurant groups compound their shelf presence — but only if they know who is trending before everyone else does.

"We knew Omakase and Korean BBQ were trending — we just had no way to find every new location the moment it opened. That window is everything."

— National Sales Manager, premium beverage brand

The Solution

Three Intelligence Layers.
One Platform.

Everything a foodservice field rep needs to find, prioritize, and close new accounts.

New Opening Detection

Continuously scans North American cities for new foodservice openings. Alerts reps the moment a new account appears in their territory — within days, not weeks.

Velocity Lead Scoring

Five-signal composite score: opening recency, velocity, cuisine volume, operator tier, price level. Surfaces Tier 1 accounts automatically.

Pipeline Enrichment

Website scraping, open data, and field rep verification build a proprietary database. Phone, email, owner names — enriched automatically.

Social Listening

Social media listening to find the hottest new restaurant openings. ICP strategy — find your product-customer fit and highest value accounts.

Field CRM

Distributor-aware pipeline, product tracking, parking-lot notes, follow-up dates. Salesforce sync ready.

Territory Map

Pins rendered instantly. Tap for account sidebar, tap-to-call, inline CRM updates. Route optimizer with live traffic.

Use Case

Same rep. Same territory.
Completely different results.

✗ Without FieldLead

  • Rep builds Monday call list from memory and a CRM last updated last quarter.
  • Drives past a restaurant that opened 6 weeks ago. Never knew it existed.
  • Calls in. Competitor was there in week two. Account is locked in.
  • Manager asks for pipeline update. Rep logs calls from memory.
  • 25% of calls target accounts that closed or changed operator.
  • No system to surface which new openings need condiments or premium spirits.

✓ With FieldLead

  • Monday: FieldLead shows 4 new Tier 1 openings detected in territory this week.
  • First call is a modern bistro that opened 9 days ago. No supplier yet.
  • Rep taps the pin, opens Maps navigation, drives straight there.
  • Logs a visit note in 30 seconds from the parking lot.
  • Manager sees live pipeline. No Friday status report required.
  • Cuisine and signal filters surface ideal targets for each product line.

Intelligence Layer

Not a list. It's Strategy.

Five signals → one priority tier. Find the perfect Product-Customer fit. Fully customized for your portfolio.

1

Opening recency score

New restaurant openings add urgency weighting. The newer the opening, the higher the urgency to make first contact.

2

Velocity

Popularity of restaurant based on social interactions, reviews, traffic and reservations.

3

Cuisine volume index

Each cuisine weighted against purchasing volume. Burger, breakfast, pizza versus ethnic have different menu fit.

4

Price level modifier

Price point level adjusts volume score. Inexpensive and moderate dining scores higher. Fine dining receives a downward modifier.

5

Operator tier signal

Regional chain accounts receive a bonus — winning one opens conversations at group level. National chains tracked separately.

How It Works

From scan to closed account.

Four steps. Fully automated until the rep picks up the phone.

1

Scan

OpenStreetMap + Google Places API

Continuously scans every city for new food service openings. New place IDs trigger immediate Tier 1 alerts to the rep assigned to that territory.

2

Score

Five-signal composite score

Tier 1 accounts — new openings in high-volume cuisine categories with low review counts — surface automatically at the top of every rep's view.

3

Enrich

Social media, traffic data, open data sources

Instagram buzz, pedestrian traffic patterns, and Google review velocity surface accounts gaining momentum — enriched automatically without a rep touching it.

4

Act

Rep opens the map, taps a Tier 1 new opening

On the phone from the parking lot in 60 seconds. Note logged. Pipeline updated. Manager sees activity in real time.

Competitive

No purpose-built solution
exists for this motion.

Google Maps: No scoring, territory filtering, CRM, contact data, or new opening notification. The tool they resort to when nothing purpose-built exists.

Simple, territory-based pricing.

Scale up as you expand. No per-seat surprises.
