BUILT FOR COMMERCIAL BROKERS, OPERATORS & LENDERS

The lease is coming up.
The receipts said so first.

A restaurant whose alcohol sales have slid four quarters running is a lease coming available. One climbing fast is an operator about to need a second location. Texas publishes what every licensed venue rings up in liquor, wine, beer and cover — every month, going back to 2007 — and almost nobody reads it.

HOW YOU'D ACTUALLY USE IT

Four steps, start to finish.

SCAN

Read the block

Every licensed venue in an area with its alcohol-sales curve — who's growing, who's flat, who's sliding. The trading picture before you talk to anyone.

Business Pulse layer
TIME

Catch the turn

Sustained decline is the earliest honest signal that a space is coming available. Sustained growth is an expansion conversation.

Revenue history
TRACE

Who's behind the venue

Operator changes at an address, and the entity and officers behind the current one — through the same graph the parcel map runs on.

Operator + entity records
LAND

Then look at the building

Jump from the venue to the parcel underneath: who owns the real estate, what it's appraised at, and what its value history looks like.

Parcel dossier
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

A few questions, one sitting.

How a broker actually uses it.

tex> venues in this ZIP whose receipts have declined three quarters running

tex> who operates them, and has the operator changed recently?

A declining venue in a building whose owner you can name is a listing conversation with two sides to it.
SIGNAL INTELLIGENCE

How the sources get joined.

Two joins, opposite directions: who's leaving and who needs more room. No single record below means much on its own — the signal is the join, and every ingredient stays inspectable so you can check the working.

Lease coming available
RECEIPTSalcohol sales sliding+RECEIPTSoperator change+APPRAISALparcel owner

Four sliding quarters is a space coming open — and you know the landlord too.

38 Central Texas ZIPs, monthly back to 2007. Alcohol sales only — not food, not audited.

An operator climbing fast is a tenant about to need a second site.

38 Central Texas ZIPs. Alcohol sales only — a dry venue is invisible.

WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY BUYING

The parts that matter to you.

ALCOHOL SALES CURVES

Monthly, per venue, back to 2007

Liquor, wine, beer and cover reported separately for 1,455 venues — $3.66 billion in tracked sales across 116,858 venue-months. Filed with the state, not estimated or surveyed.

DECLINE DETECTION

Sustained, not seasonal

The difference between a slow February and a business in trouble is several quarters. The curve shows which one you're looking at.

OPERATOR HISTORY

Who ran it, and when

Operator periods by address, so you can see turnover at a location rather than just who's there today.

EXPANSION SIGNALS

Growth needs space

Venues climbing fast are the tenants most likely to need a second site. A different call than the decline list, to a different person.

BUILDING HANDOFF

From tenant to landlord

Jump from any venue to the parcel underneath — owner, entity, appraised value and history — through the same map.

AREA SCAN

The trading picture

Read a whole corridor at once before you pitch it: what's there, what it does, and which way each one is moving.

Where our coverage stops Coverage first: this runs across 38 Central Texas ZIPs and Austin proper is deliberately excluded for now — outside those ZIPs the layer is simply empty. Second, and more important: this is mixed-beverage data, so it measures ALCOHOL SALES ONLY. Food revenue is never included, and a venue that sells no alcohol does not appear at all. It is a strong directional signal for bars and drink-led restaurants, a partial one for food-led venues, and useless for a dry concept. It is also filed data, not audited financials. We'd rather you knew all of that before the trial than during it.
