Hospitality, food and drink, checked for you 24/7
Licences, rules, and the site opening next door.
Licensing decisions, food standards changes, planning for competing sites, grant schemes for the trade. Four registers, four formats, no alerts.
ReachSpot watches all four against your sites and tells you what actually reaches you.
Plus the supplier whose accounts stopped looking healthy.

Free, and before anything else. No card, no account, and it runs on your own record rather than a demonstration.
What we read for you
The records behind every match, named.
These are the sources ReachSpot reads for hospitality, food and drink. Not a roadmap and not everything that exists: what is connected and running. Where a stream covers less ground than its name suggests, it says so here rather than in a footnote.
| Food Standards AgencyUnited Kingdom |
Every registered food business in all four nations, with inspection ratings, plus product recalls and allergy alerts as they are issued. Every registered food business across all four nations, with inspection ratings, plus product recalls and allergy alerts. |
|---|---|
| London Planning DatahubGreater London |
Applications and decisions for competing sites across the London boroughs. Planning applications and decisions across the London boroughs, as they are determined. Worth knowing. This is the planning footprint ReachSpot reads today. There is no usable national feed of UK planning applications, so outside London the Property stream has nothing to give you yet, and we would rather say that than let you find out. |
| Companies HouseUnited Kingdom |
Incorporations and charges, which is how a competitor opening announces itself early. Every incorporation, charge, officer change, PSC change and insolvency case, pushed as it is filed. |
| The GazetteUnited Kingdom |
Suppliers and operators entering insolvency. The official public record: corporate insolvency notices, appointments and statutory notices. |
| Find a grantUnited Kingdom |
Government schemes open to the trade. UK government grant opportunities, with their eligibility criteria and windows. Worth knowing. Recorded Find a grant notices only. Not a claim of complete grant coverage. |
Every match keeps its original record. If we cannot show you why something reached you, we do not send it.
What this looks like
Four months. Four things nobody would have sent you.
An independent operator running three sites. Every one has a bar and a kitchen.
- Day one Someone sets up a company at an address 300 yards from your best site. Companies House
- Week three They apply to change the use of the building. The application says what they are opening and how many covers. London Planning Datahub
- Month two A product two of your suppliers sell is recalled, and the affected batches match the dates you ordered. Food Standards Agency
- Month four A government scheme opens that pays for the kitchen efficiency work you had already priced up. Find a grant
You had three months to change your offer before a competitor opened down the road. That is the difference between reacting and preparing.
An example of what these sources can show a business like this one. Not a real customer and not a measured result.
What a match looks like
One record, and the reason it reached you.
An illustration of the shape a match takes. Not a live result.
What happened
A food recall issued by the Food Standards Agency
Why you got it
The product is one your supplier list carries, and the batch dates overlap your ordering window.
What it carries
The product, the batch, the reason, the action required, and the alert as published.
What it costs
£149 a month. Everything included.
Eight streams run against your record whether you read them or not, so there is nothing cheaper to drop to and nothing to add on later. Your home market is in the price. Cancel any month.
Yearly is £1,490, which is ten months rather than twelve and keeps £298 in your account.

Questions hospitality, food and drink ask
Answered straight, including the awkward ones.
Do you cover premises licensing?
No. There is no national premises-licence register in England and Wales; around 350 licensing authorities each publish their own, and ReachSpot reads none of them yet. Food hygiene is the clean national feed and that is what is connected.
Will I know when a competitor is opening near me?
In London, from planning applications and decisions. Everywhere else, from incorporations and charges at Companies House, which is later but still ahead of the signage going up.
Are food alerts fast enough to act on?
They are sent as they clear the checks rather than batched. The FSA publishes recalls and allergy alerts directly and that is what ReachSpot reads.
We are a single site. Is this over-specified?
The price is the same either way and the checks are per site, so a single site gets a shorter list rather than a worse one. If it finds nothing worth your time in a month, the free report will show you that before you pay.
