Chicago restaurants · public-record monitoring
Licensed Chicago restaurants have a free Lodestar Stamp receipt. Like any receipt, it's proof: what the City's records say about the business, with the source and the date we checked. Assistants can read it before they book.

What's a receipt?
You keep a receipt as proof of what you bought, where and when. An AI assistant that books, calls or pays for someone needs proof too, and it needs it before it acts. A Lodestar Stamp receipt is that proof: what the City's records say about a business, line by line, with the source and the date we checked.

Before, not after. A store receipt comes after you pay. An assistant reads a Lodestar Stamp receipt before it books a table, places a call or takes a payment, while it can still change course.
Every line can be traced. Each fact names its source, the day we checked it and the day it's due for a recheck.
Then the assistant decides. What it does next depends on what the receipt can confirm.
A gap can change how an AI assistant or booking app reads or suggests your business. A gap is not a finding against you.
Which way it goes is the assistant's call. What you control is whether your record is complete and correct.
What you can do. Read your receipt, free. Send a correction, free. Have it watched: first month free, then $149/month.
What's changing
They book tables and call businesses. Each line here is dated and links to its source.
Before an assistant acts, it needs facts it can check. That's what a Lodestar Stamp receipt is.

What can change without you knowing
Your receipt can change each time we recheck the City's records, and an assistant reads it as it stands. Counted from the Chicago restaurants record since Sep 4, 2026. In the Oct 7, 2026 edition, 9 receipts changed.
4,961 of 11,208 receipts show no published health inspection today. A gap is not a finding against you.

Watching emails you when a published fact on your receipt changes, with the source and the date. What Watching includes
Watching · for owners
Start with a baseline briefing. Get an email when Lodestar Stamp publishes a change to your selected receipt, plus a weekly digest and monthly readout.
The alert job checks Lodestar Stamp’s published feed every 30 minutes. Source updates and verification can take longer.
Today's Watching is the starting point. As assistants take on more, and as Lodestar Stamp covers more cities and industries, Watching is built to grow with them. When we add a fact or a source to your receipt, your Watching covers it at the same price. The receipt stays public and free for everyone. Paying never changes what it shows.
Independence, by design
Payment buys Watching. It cannot improve, hide or remove a fact, change verification priority, or change the evidence required for a correction.
Watching delivers the baseline and changes published on the selected receipt. We have not established that a subscription increases bookings or changes an assistant’s recommendation.
A verified field means we checked the cited source on the stated date. It is not a safety endorsement. Source freshness, expiry and unpublished fields remain visible.
No published changes were found for that period. It does not prove that the underlying city source was rechecked.
No. Our ambition is to earn a place in pre-booking checks through useful evidence and integrations. We do not claim mandatory adoption or existing platform dependence.
The shift · for agents and platforms
Lodestar Stamp is building the trust layer agents can consult before booking, calling or paying a business. Restaurants are the starting point; the same identity, evidence and freshness model can serve other industries. Your software decides when to proceed, ask a human or request another check. Lodestar Stamp supplies facts.
Build with the trust interfaceSee the agent walkthrough
Public receipts are free to read. Agent reads are $1 each, with 10 free a month per credentialed identity; volume access is agreed per contract. Review trial access and terms.
Restaurants first. Each new market brings its own sources, identity rules and freshness requirements.
