How coffee roasters find independent wholesale accounts
Finding the independent cafés worth a sample bag means separating the multi-roaster accounts from the ones locked into a house contract — at street level, across a route you can actually drive. Account Finder’s coffee mode runs six independent data layers over your territory and hands back a ranked list with the opener already written.
Six data layers over your delivery route
Coffee mode reads live location data from Google Places and OpenStreetMap across cafés, bakeries, brunch rooms and hotel programmes; municipal business-licence feeds published directly by major-city open-data portals; federal business records including SBA borrowers and USDA-authorised retailers, which surface owner-operated shops that never bothered with a map listing; institutional records for schools and hospitals; and IRS exempt-organisation records for the club, chamber and coworking channel. Every layer is reconciled into one row per real business, then scored against your roast profile and price point before you see it. See the full pipeline.
Filtering for the accounts worth the visit
Independent-first filtering
Cafés, brunch spots, bakeries and hotel programs are ranked with big-chain accounts filtered out by default, so the list stays inside accounts you can win.
AI fit rationale
Each result gets a one-sentence rationale — multi-roaster rotation, single-origin pour-overs, no visible house-roaster branding — built from public listing and review signals.
Radius discipline
Search is capped at a 1–10 mile radius, matched to a delivery route you actually drive.
