How this page is measured

A record is a single business location in our database. A new record is one that entered our newly opened businesses section in the last 30 days — dated by when it reached us, not by an opening date. Scope: restaurants of every kind — fast food, pizza, kebab, family, seafood and cuisine-specific restaurants.
