Chicago restaurant record, October 2026
Counted from the edition of Oct 7, 2026. This page updates with each edition; every edition stays frozen in the edition history.
On the record
Chicago restaurants: 11,208 on the record, each with a free, dated receipt.
| Fact | Verified | Not published |
|---|---|---|
| Real business | 10,942 | 266 |
| At that address | 10,942 | 266 |
| Licensed | 10,942 | 266 |
| Health inspection | 6,247 | 4,961 |
A fact that is not published says nothing about the business either way. A gap is not a finding, but it can change how an AI assistant or booking app reads or recommends the business.
What moved
- In the Oct 7, 2026 edition, 9 receipts changed.
- Since the record began on Sep 4, 2026, 1,831 receipts gained a published health inspection and 216 stopped showing one.
- Since then, 159 receipts stopped showing a verified license. 9 of them read as verified again by Oct 7, 2026.
- 1,102 license terms on the record end by Jan 5, 2027.
- 25 receipts carry the City register's own note beside them today: 23 licenses cancelled during their term and 2 licenses revoked.
Each line says what moved on the receipts, never why: a fact that stops showing may be one that is held, and every gap looks the same.
