Methodology

Two independent rankings, no composite score. By location count: total locations operated across metro San Antonio (the chains and aggregators). By revenue and popularity: total review count across web and social channels (the cleanest available popularity proxy). Each row rolls up one restaurant across all their locations.

Restaurant records draw from 12+ public and private data sources, refresh weekly, and are independently verified against at least two of them, including state license rosters from the Texas Medical Board and publicly available business records. Owner contacts come from a separate 20+ source scan and refresh monthly.

Common questions

Why use review count as the popularity proxy?

Restaurant revenue is notoriously hard to find publicly: most restaurants are independent, privately held, and don't publish financials. Review count is the cleanest available proxy for size and how established a business is, so the restaurants with the most reviews are typically the ones running the most volume.

How many restaurants are in San Antonio?

Orbital tracks 4,140 active restaurants across metro San Antonio. 321 of them operate multiple locations; the rest are single-location independents.

How many restaurants are in Texas?

Orbital tracks active restaurants across Texas. San Antonio metro accounts for a major share. See the full ranking at largest restaurants in Texas.

Who is this list for?

B2B vendors who sell into restaurants: POS and payment systems, online ordering and delivery platforms, inventory and back-of-house software, food and beverage distributors, capital providers, M&A brokers, marketing agencies, and professional services. It is not a consumer directory and is not optimised for booking appointments.

How do I get owner contact info (mobile phone, email) for these restaurants?

Every restaurant on the list has verified owner / GM contacts available upon signing up with Orbital. You get mobile phones, work emails, and decision-maker titles, not generic front-desk numbers. Contact records come from a separate scan of 20+ public and private data sources, independently verified before unlock, and refreshed monthly.

How often does the data refresh?

Restaurant records refresh weekly. Contact records refresh monthly. New restaurants that pass two-source verification get added on the next refresh, and restaurants that drop signals get flagged in the platform but are not silently removed from list snapshots.
