New Ohio (Columbus) liquor license and restaurant filings: where to find them
Columbus Public Health (Ohio) publishes every food facility it permits in Columbus and the suburbs it inspects, with the permit date and the facility's phone number. It is a public record, updated daily, and anyone can read it.
In the last 30 days we recorded 23 Ohio (Columbus) filings, picked up a median of 16 days after the filing date. 96% of them have a phone number on file.
What the agency publishes
Columbus Public Health (Ohio) makes these records public: every food facility it permits in Columbus and the suburbs it inspects, with the permit date and the facility's phone number. A record shows who applied, the premises address, the license type and a date. That is enough to know a venue is on its way, and to know which stage it has reached.
This is the Columbus area only, not Ohio. A new permit is either a new facility or an existing one under a new permit, often new owners. Both are worth a call: a new owner picks new suppliers too.
Read it yourself, for free
The source is open. If you have the time, you can pull it directly:
Filter to the license types that matter to you, drop duplicates, and check the newest rows each morning. The catch is the daily work, and that many records leave out a phone number or email.
What Ribbon Leads adds
We read Columbus Public Health's filings daily, fold duplicate rows into one venue, label the stage, and match a phone number and website where we can find one. You get the new ones by email instead of a spreadsheet to maintain. The free Monday list is the same filings, seven days behind and without contact details.

Common questions
Is this list public?
Yes. These are public records, and Columbus Public Health publishes them. Ribbon Leads is not affiliated with any government agency; it reads the published record and says where each row came from.
How soon after a filing does the venue open?
It varies. An application means the owner has started the process, not that a date is set. Build-out, inspections and approvals can take weeks to many months, which is the window a supplier or service company has to reach them first.
Does every filing have a phone number?
No. Many records carry none, and in some states almost none do. We match a phone and website where we can find them; the share for Ohio (Columbus) is shown above.
