What “not published” means on your receipt
An owner guide, October 2026. When a fact on your Lodestar Stamp receipt is not verified, the receipt shows it as not published. Here is what that means, and what you can do about it, free.
What your receipt shows
Your receipt lists what the City of Chicago's records confirm about your restaurant: that it is a real business, that it is at that address, that it is licensed, and a health inspection from the last 12 months. Each verified fact carries the record we read it from, the date we checked, and the date the check expires.
What “not published” means
A fact that is not published has nothing to report this edition. It says nothing about your business either way. A gap is not a finding against you.
Every gap looks the same on a receipt, so the receipt never hints at why a fact is missing. We don't guess either.
Why it matters
A gap can change how an AI assistant or booking app reads or suggests your business. When it can't confirm a fact, it may ask the person to check, or suggest a place it can confirm.
What you can do
- Your license. If your license was renewed, or the City's record is wrong, send us the details and we'll check them against the City's record, free.
- Your health inspection. An inspection result shows on a receipt for 12 months. If the City inspected your license in the last 12 months and it isn't on your receipt, send us the date and we'll check it against the City's record, free.
- Any other fact. Corrections are free and follow the same evidence rules for every business. Payment never touches the record.
Each receipt has a “Check or correct a fact, free” link that writes the email for you. You can also read how corrections work.
