Your own Aberdeen list of restaurants
Restaurants run on thin margins and long hours, and the owner or general manager decides on suppliers, software and marketing. Groups have a head office buyer, but independents choose on price, reliability and how little extra work a change brings.
Aberdeen sits in Aberdeen City, the UK, close to Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Build the Aberdeen list first, then add the surrounding towns as their own segments, so you always know which part of the area you already covered.
Your competitors are already emailing restaurants in Aberdeen. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.
Build your Aberdeen list of restaurants in four steps
Every import waits as a concept until you publish it, so nothing lands in your database by accident.
Collect restaurants in Aberdeen
Export restaurants in Aberdeen from Google Maps listings or restaurant review sites as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.
Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file called Restaurants Aberdeen. Columns are matched for you and duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Fill in the missing emails
No email in the export? Tick info@, bookings@, reservations@ and manager@ and addresses are derived from each website.
Reach them in small batches
Pick the segment, keep only status New, write one mail with placeholders like {company|your team} and send it in small batches.
Fields worth recording for restaurants in Aberdeen
Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Cuisine | The type of food shapes which products and suppliers are relevant. |
| Covers | Seating capacity hints at volume and budget. |
| Independent or group | Groups buy centrally, so you need a different contact and approach. |
| Delivery | Restaurants that deliver need packaging and ordering tools. |
| Opening hours | Knowing when they open helps you pick a time to call or visit. |
What slows down prospecting restaurants, and the fix
Restaurant lists change fast as places open, close and change owners.
Each record keeps its source and date, and you can archive closed places so your active list stays current.
The bookings@ address reaches a host, not the owner.
Tick several prefixes in email from domain, such as info@ and manager@, and note on the contact who replied.
You cannot tell which restaurants you already visited in person.
Set the status to Contacted and add a note after each visit, so the whole team sees it.
What to say to restaurants in Aberdeen
Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets restaurants to click.
- Show how your offer protects margin, because food and labour costs are always on their mind.
- Mention something specific from their menu so the owner knows you looked.
- Offer a simple switch with no disruption to service, as that is what owners fear most.

Read moreEmailing restaurants in the UK
In the UK, B2B cold email is covered by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. PECR generally allows marketing email to corporate subscribers such as limited companies without prior consent, but sole traders and some partnerships are treated like individuals and usually need consent, and every message must identify you and offer a simple way to opt out. Under UK GDPR you also need a lawful basis, often legitimate interests, to use the details of named contacts. This is general information, not legal advice.
Mid afternoon between lunch and dinner service, early in the week, is usually the calmest time, while Friday and Saturday evenings are best avoided. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
Questions people ask
No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the restaurants yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.
Yes. Put Aberdeen in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Aberdeen. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, bookings@, reservations@ and manager@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
Collect restaurants from public listings such as Google Maps or review sites with a scraper, then import the CSV or Excel file. Riftjaw flags duplicates and lets you add a field for cuisine or area.
Many teams do both. Riftjaw keeps phone numbers as fields and email history per contact, so you can tag who to call and send a short campaign to the rest.
