What is PreOpen Signal? PreOpen Signal is a Florida restaurant opening intelligence database built from public regulatory records. It tracks plan reviews, licensing activity, approvals and ownership changes, then organizes those events into source-backed restaurant opening signals.

A signal set you can inspect.
Counts are drawn from the accepted production projection, with source-backed dates and a visible evidence trail.

Identity-matched records have completed entity matching and no unresolved source-record identity matches. This describes record linkage, not a confidence threshold. These four cohorts overlap slightly (2 records appear in two); the full directory contains 10,743 records.
From public records to useful timing.
Every interpretation stays close to what the underlying regulator has actually published.
Qualify
Separate regulatory status from commercial stage, then weigh the recency and strength of milestones.
Verify
Keep the dataset, date, and official source link beside each signal so a team can inspect the evidence.
What the records can tell you.
Commercial stages are estimates from observed facts, not promises about an opening date.
Plan review approvedA new construction or food-service review reaches an approved status.
License approvedA new-food application records an approval date.
Owner changeAn official ownership-change filing or approval creates an opportunity tag.
Active statusRegulatory status remains distinct from the commercial lifecycle estimate.
Evidence stays attached.
PreOpen Signal uses public records provided by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The source dataset, retrieval timestamp, and official link remain part of the product surface.
Open verified DBPR source fileRegulatory status and commercial stage are presented separately so an active license does not erase a recent opening signal.
