What Is the Restaurant Lead Scraper?

This Apify actor searches Google Maps for food and beverage businesses in any city, zip code, or region and returns structured contact data including verified emails, phone numbers, websites, and full addresses. It covers restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries, food trucks, catering operations, pizza shops, sushi restaurants, and any other food service business type. Use it to build a restaurant contact database, a targeted bar lead list, or a regional food service scraper output for sales, partnerships, or marketing campaigns.

No manual searching. No copy-pasting from Google. Just clean, export-ready restaurant owner leads at scale.

What Data Do You Get?

Every record includes the most actionable fields for outreach and CRM import:

{
  "name": "Harbor Bites Cafe",
  "category": "Cafe",
  "address": "319 Embarcadero St, San Francisco, CA 94105",
  "phone": "(415) 555-0247",
  "website": "https://harborbites.com",
  "mapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...",
  "rating": 4.6,
  "reviewCount": 381,
  "email": "hello@harborbites.com",
  "emailVerified": true,
  "emailVerificationStatus": "smtp_verified",
  "emailVerificationNote": "Verified via SMTP",
  "allEmails": [{"address": "hello@harborbites.com", "verified": true, "status": "smtp_verified", "verificationNote": "Verified via SMTP"}],
  "socialLinks": {"facebook": "https://facebook.com/harborbites", "instagram": "https://instagram.com/harborbites"}
}

Email addresses are resolved from each business's own website, making them substantially more reliable than purchased list data.

Use Cases

• Restaurant technology and POS sales — Build a targeted restaurant email list for demos of reservation software, POS systems, and delivery integrations.
• Food and beverage suppliers — Find restaurant emails and bar and cafe contacts for wholesale outreach across a city or region.
• Restaurant marketing agencies — Generate food business lead generation lists for local client campaigns at any scale.
• Delivery service partnerships — Source bar leads and restaurant owner contacts to pitch third-party delivery, last-mile logistics, or ghost kitchen partnerships.
• Commercial real estate and equipment leasing — Identify new restaurant openings and food operators for equipment finance or lease proposals.
• Staffing and hospitality recruiting — Locate restaurant owners and operators by type and location when filling management or kitchen roles.

How It Works

Phase 1 — Query Google Maps. The actor submits your search terms (e.g., "restaurant Miami FL" or "catering company 10001") to Google Maps and collects all matching business listings in the target area.

Phase 2 — Extract listing data. For each result, it captures the business name, category, phone, address, rating, review count, and website URL directly from the Google Maps listing.

Phase 3 — Resolve verified emails. The actor visits each business's website and extracts email addresses from contact pages, footers, and structured data — returning only addresses tied to the actual domain.

Phase 4 — Deduplicate and export. Results are deduplicated by phone and address, then made available in JSON, CSV, or CRM-ready formats via the Apify dataset.

Input Options

Parameter	Type	Description
businessType	select	Food business type (Restaurant, Bar, Cafe, Bakery, Food Truck, Catering, Pizza, Sushi, Custom)
location	string	City, state, or ZIP code (e.g., "New York, NY" or "10001")
searchQuery	string	Custom query, used only when businessType is "Custom"
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of leads to return (default: 50, max: 500)
enrichEmails	boolean	Enable website crawl for email discovery (default: true)
verifyEmails	boolean	Run DNS/SMTP email verification (default: true)
enrichSocials	boolean	Extract Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X links (default: true)
outputFormat	string	full, hubspot, or salesforce

Output Formats

Full — All fields including rating, review count, Google Maps URL, and raw email source. Best for analysis and prospecting databases.

HubSpot — Mapped to HubSpot contact and company properties. Import directly via HubSpot's CSV import or connect through Zapier.

Salesforce — Formatted for Salesforce Lead object fields. Drop the CSV into Salesforce Data Import Wizard without remapping.

Why Choose This Over Apollo or ZoomInfo?

Feature	This Actor	Apollo / ZoomInfo
Data source	Live Google Maps	Static licensed databases
Email freshness	Resolved in real time from business websites	Updated quarterly or less
Food business depth	Restaurants, bars, cafes, food trucks, catering	Thin coverage of independent operators
Geographic targeting	Any city, zip, or neighborhood	Preset filters only
Cost	Pay per run on Apify	Monthly subscription, hundreds to thousands per month
CRM export formats	JSON, CSV, HubSpot, Salesforce	Varies by plan

Apollo and ZoomInfo are designed for enterprise software contacts. They have weak coverage of independent restaurants, food trucks, and local bar and cafe contacts that this actor finds directly on Google Maps.

Cost Estimation

Each run incurs two types of costs:

1. Pay-per-event pricing — You pay per enriched lead returned (see pricing above the README).
2. Platform usage — Apify charges for compute time and proxy bandwidth used during the run.

Typical costs for a 100-lead run:

• Run time: 5–15 minutes
• Platform usage: $0.50–$2.00 (depends on proxy type and email enrichment)
• Total per lead: varies by niche and location density

For the most cost-effective results, we recommend:

• Start with a small test run (10–25 leads) to validate data quality
• Disable email verification (verifyEmails: false) if you plan to verify separately
• Use specific locations (city + state) rather than broad regions

Getting Started

1. Create a free Apify account if you do not already have one.
2. Click Try for free on the Apify platform.
3. Enter your target search queries (city + business type).
4. Set maxResults and run the actor.
5. Download your restaurant email list as CSV or push it directly to your CRM via integration.

No coding required. Results are typically ready in under five minutes for a 100-record run.

Why Use This Instead of a General Google Maps Scraper?

The general-purpose Google Maps Scraper on Apify costs $4-10 per 1,000 results but requires you to chain multiple actors, configure filters manually, and pay extra for email enrichment. Here is what you get with this dedicated Restaurant scraper that you will not get from a general tool:

Feature	General Google Maps Scraper	This Actor
Pre-filtered restaurant results	No — returns mixed in	Yes — every result is a restaurant
Verified email addresses	Extra add-on ($0.002/place)	Built-in, included in price
Email deliverability check (DNS+SMTP)	Not available	Built-in
Social media profiles	Extra add-on	Built-in
CRM-ready export (HubSpot, Salesforce)	Not available	Built-in
Single-actor simplicity	Need 2-3 actors chained	One actor, one click

What you get in a single run

1. Search Google Maps for restaurant businesses in any location
2. Automatically crawl each business website for email addresses
3. Verify every email with DNS and SMTP checks
4. Extract social media profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter)
5. Export in your choice of format: Full JSON, HubSpot Import, or Salesforce Import

No coding required. No API keys needed. No multi-actor pipelines to configure.

Use via Apify API

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('samstorm/restaurant-lead-scraper').call({
    businessType: 'Restaurant',
    location: 'Dallas, TX',
    maxResults: 50,
    enrichEmails: true,
    verifyEmails: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_API_TOKEN')

run = client.actor('samstorm/restaurant-lead-scraper').call(run_input={
    'businessType': 'Restaurant',
    'location': 'New York, NY',
    'maxResults': 100,
    'enrichEmails': True,
    'verifyEmails': True,
    'outputFormat': 'hubspot',
})

items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print(f'Got {len(items)} restaurant leads')

Multi-Location Workflows

Google Maps returns up to ~120 results per search query, so large-scale prospecting requires running the actor once per city or metro area and merging the datasets.

Option 1: Apify API loop — Call the actor programmatically for each location:

const locations = ['New York, NY', 'Brooklyn, NY', 'Queens, NY', 'Manhattan, NY'];

for (const location of locations) {
    const run = await client.actor('samstorm/restaurant-lead-scraper').call({
        businessType: 'Restaurant',
        location,
        maxResults: 200,
        enrichEmails: true,
        verifyEmails: true,
    });
    console.log(`Completed ${location}: run ${run.id}`);
}

Option 2: Apify Schedules — Set up a schedule in the Apify Console that triggers runs for different locations on a recurring basis. Use a separate Saved Task for each city.

Deduplication across runs: Each run deduplicates internally by business name + address. When merging datasets from multiple runs, deduplicate on the same key to remove businesses that appear in overlapping metro areas.

Restaurant Lead Generation — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a restaurant owner email list? The fastest way is to run this actor with a search query like "restaurant Chicago IL" and set maxResults to however many leads you need. The actor pulls every matching food service business from Google Maps, visits each website, and extracts the owner or contact email from the contact page or footer. You get a clean, export-ready list in minutes — no manual searching, no list brokers, no stale CSV files from a data reseller.

How much does a restaurant contact database cost? Purchased restaurant email lists from data brokers typically run $200–$2,000+ for a few thousand contacts, and the data is often 12–24 months old. With this actor, you pay only for the leads you actually generate at the time you run it. A 100-lead run typically costs $1–$5 in total platform fees — a fraction of what list vendors charge, with far fresher data sourced directly from live Google Maps listings and each restaurant's own website.

What types of restaurants can I find? The actor covers the full spectrum of food and beverage businesses on Google Maps: sit-down restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, bars and gastropubs, fast food locations, fast casual chains, fine dining establishments, food trucks, pop-up kitchens, catering companies, bakeries, pizzerias, sushi bars, food halls, and ghost kitchens. If it shows up on Google Maps as a food service business, this actor can find it. Use the businessType field or include the category directly in your search query to narrow results to a specific segment.

Can I search for restaurants in a specific city or area? Yes — geographic targeting is one of the actor's core strengths. You can scope your search to a city ("restaurant Austin TX"), a zip code ("bar 10001"), a neighborhood ("cafe Williamsburg Brooklyn"), or even a street corridor. You can also run multiple queries in a single job to cover several territories at once, which is useful for regional sales territories or multi-market campaigns.

Can I export restaurant leads to HubSpot or Salesforce? Yes. The actor offers three export formats: Full (all fields), HubSpot (mapped to standard contact and company properties for direct CSV import), and Salesforce (formatted for the Salesforce Lead object, compatible with the Data Import Wizard). No field remapping needed — just download and import. You can also connect via Zapier or Make to push new leads into your CRM automatically after each run.

How accurate are the restaurant email addresses? Each email is resolved in real time from the restaurant's own website at the moment the actor runs — not pulled from an aged database. Addresses linked to the business's own domain (e.g., hello@pizzaplace.com) are significantly more reliable than generic Gmail or Hotmail addresses, and we flag those separately. Restaurants that don't publish a contact email return a blank field rather than a guessed or recycled address. For campaigns where deliverability matters, the built-in DNS and SMTP verification step filters out dead addresses before they reach your CRM.

Can I use this to find restaurant partners for delivery or logistics services? Yes. If you operate a food delivery platform, last-mile logistics company, or ghost kitchen network, this actor is a direct source of restaurant and bar leads by location. Run a query for "restaurants in [city]" or target specific types like "food trucks" or "catering companies," then use the verified emails and phone numbers to reach decision-makers about delivery partnerships, onboarding, or co-marketing deals. The geographic targeting lets you scope outreach to individual neighborhoods, zip codes, or entire metro regions.

Who buys restaurant lead lists? The most common buyers are: food and beverage distributors and wholesalers prospecting independent operators across a region; POS system vendors and restaurant technology companies running demos or trial campaigns; restaurant marketing agencies building prospect lists for social media, SEO, or paid advertising pitches; commercial kitchen equipment vendors targeting new restaurant openings; linen, uniform, and smallwares suppliers looking for new accounts; and staffing agencies specializing in hospitality and foodservice. If your product or service sells to restaurants, bars, cafes, food trucks, or catering companies, this actor builds the contact list you need to reach them.

Limitations

• Google Maps typically returns up to ~120 results per search query. Use multiple locations for larger datasets.
• Email extraction depends on the business having a website with visible contact info. Businesses using only contact forms won't have emails extracted.
• SMTP verification may be blocked by some mail servers, resulting in "unknown" status rather than confirmed valid/invalid.
• This actor finds business/professional emails only, not personal consumer emails.
