Toronto Fresh Leads

Restaurants that need pest control or cleaning, this week.

City of Toronto inspectors publish every restaurant inspection. Each week we pull out the ones cited for pests, sanitation or unsafe food temperatures, and send you a clean list: name, address, phone and exactly what the inspector found. They have a problem right now, and you can fix it.

How it works

  1. Pick a category: pest control, commercial cleaning, or refrigeration and equipment.
  2. Every Monday you get the past week's leads by email: date, business name, address, phone and the inspector's finding. Independent restaurants come first, and chains are marked.
  3. Call them, or drop by, while the problem is fresh.

Every lead comes from public City of Toronto DineSafe inspection records. We don't invent or pad anything; if a week is quiet, the list is short.

Instead of just a list, every week we write a short, factual, personal email from your company to each new lead that publishes a business email (for example: "Saw the city inspection on Sep 25; we can do a same-week pest treatment"). Replies go straight to your inbox. Each email follows Canada's anti-spam law (CASL): your name, a real unsubscribe, and only addresses the business published itself. You approve the wording first.
