Lok Technologies is a Calgary-based company building systematic data products from public records: business licences, development permits, and liquor-licence applications, checked daily and verified by hand. Our first product follows every new restaurant opening in Calgary.
A weekly newsletter and searchable register of every new restaurant opening in Calgary — plus coming-soon listings, closures, opening specials, and early reviews. The same pipeline gives local suppliers and service businesses a category-exclusive, seven-day head start on every opening in their territory.
City of Calgary business-licence data refreshes daily with issue dates. We diff it every day, alongside permits and AGLC applications — not weekly scrapes or social-media tips.
Every opening is confirmed against a second source before it reaches readers or partners. A licence is a lead; a verified opening is the product.
Readers get the complete picture every Friday. Businesses that sell to new restaurants get it earlier — exclusively, one partner per category.
Partnerships, data licensing, and press — one inbox, answered by a person.
