Common questions
Frequently asked.
Where does the data come from?
Three official public sources: TABC Active Licenses (kguh-7q9z), TABC License Information (7hf9-qc9f) for owner addresses and master-file groupings, and the Texas Comptroller's Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts (naix-2893). Coverage to January 2007. Locations geocoded via the US Census Batch Geocoder. Freshness shown on every screen.
Does the app look the same for everyone?
No. Pick a role at signup (bar owner, broker, landlord, distributor) and the dashboard, sidebar, and alerts adapt to it. The Map is the only shared surface.
Can I customize what I see?
Yes. Your role decides the starter — geography, concept mix, headline metrics, alert pack, watchlist, and newsletter prefs are all wired from your onboarding answers. Change any of them from the dashboard whenever your job changes; the Overview, scores, and feeds adjust on the next page load.
How are the scores computed?
Opportunity, Momentum, and Risk are explainable composites. Every factor that produced the score — account size, revenue trend, competitive density — is listed on the venue page. No opaque ML.
What's region-scoped vs Texas-wide?
Your Overview is scoped to the counties and zips you picked at onboarding. The Markets page is the dedicated Texas-wide view, with a level switcher: statewide, county, city, zipcode, or radius around a watched venue.
Why don't I see a chart on every venue?
Only Mixed Beverage holders (MB, RM, NB, NT, FB) file monthly receipts with the Comptroller. Off-premise and beer/wine-only venues (BG, BQ, P, Q) sell alcohol but pay sales tax — not published per venue. The venue page shows which feed exists for the permit type.
Is this affiliated with TABC?
No. Independent product, public data only.
How does pricing work?
Three tiers, all with the full product: Starter at $30/month for up to 10 sites, Growth at $50/month for up to 25, and Unlimited at $100/month with no cap. The only difference between tiers is how many venues you can track — every workspace, score, alert, and feed is included on every plan.
