Restaurant data is sourced directly from the City of Toronto Municipal Licensing and Standards Business Licences and Permits open dataset, refreshed daily. Each entry is verified currently open by cross-checking the City registry, DineSafe inspections, Google Places, and the operator's own web presence. Cuisine classification is generated by Anthropic Claude reading the operating name and website content.

NowServingTO is a directory of independent, owner-operated new restaurants. Multi-location chains (Tim Hortons, Subway, Popeyes, KFC, Boston Pizza, McDonald's, etc.) are excluded so the directory surfaces the newest independent kitchens — the spots most likely to reflect specific diaspora and neighbourhood food scenes that aren't already on every food map.

"First seen" is the date a restaurant first surfaced in our combined evidence window — typically the City of Toronto licence-issue date, a DineSafe inspection, or the earliest review timestamp on a Google Places profile. It approximates when the location began operating. A licence can be filed weeks before doors actually open, so "First seen 5 days ago" means the restaurant was registered (or first inspected/reviewed) 5 days ago, not necessarily that it opened to customers on that exact date.

Only restaurants licensed within the last 365 days appear on the directory. Older licences automatically fall out of the coverage window. The directory is rebuilt daily around 1:17 AM Toronto time from the City's open data feed, with each entry tagged with its exact "First seen" date.
