Coverage

384,923 venues, and what we know about each.

The census is the whole licensed food and drink estate of the United Kingdom, not a sample of it. What varies between venues is not whether we hold them, but how much we have been able to read.

Freshness

What runs, and when.

Census ingestMondays, 03:00The FSA register, page by page. A run that exhausts its budget parks on a cursor instead of reporting success.

Resume tickDaily, 03:30Picks up any ingest that parked. Why a run stopped is written on the row, not only in the logs.

EnrichmentDaily, 04:30Contact, attributes, ownership, and the tech read.

SignalsDaily, 05:00The seven detectors fire against everything enriched since the last pass.

Every count on this site carries the date it was taken, because a number without a date cannot be told apart from a number that has gone stale. That is a rule we apply to ourselves before we apply it to you.
