How do you build this list?
- Describe the people in one sentence. On Starter and above, search "owners of independent restaurants in Chicago with a mobile number". Buzz reads real titles and company names instead of relying on industry codes. On Free, use the filters in the table below.
- Use the right titles. Owner, operator, proprietor, managing partner, general manager, director of operations and franchisee.
- Set the company size. Single locations are 1 to 50 employees. Groups and franchise operators are 51 and up.
- Choose the channel. Phone during the afternoon lull, or walk in. Email is weak for independents. Scrub numbers against the National Do-Not-Call Registry and your own do-not-call list before calling or texting.
- Save, reveal and reach out. Save the list and reveal only the people you will contact. Each reveal uses one contact from your monthly allowance. Export a spreadsheet, or on a paid plan have Buzz write the emails and send them through Buzz Send once you approve.

What should you watch for?
Hospitality groups often use holding-company names with no mention of food. To reach groups, search director of operations and culinary director titles as well as company words.
