The SIC code for restaurants is 5812, "Eating Places." It covers establishments that prepare and serve meals for immediate consumption, including full-service restaurants, fast food, cafeterias, cafes, diners, pizzerias, and contract food service. Restaurants that primarily serve alcohol are classified separately under SIC 5813.
Every business in our file is tagged with its SIC code. Pick a state to see how many SIC 5812 restaurants we hold with a verified phone number.
SIC 5812 is a single four-digit code covering all eating places. NAICS, which replaced SIC for most federal reporting in 1997, splits the same territory across several codes. If a form asks for NAICS rather than SIC, use the row that matches your format.
| SIC | SIC description | NAICS | NAICS description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5812 | Eating Places | 722511 | Full-Service Restaurants |
| 5812 | Eating Places | 722513 | Limited-Service Restaurants (fast food) |
| 5812 | Eating Places | 722514 | Cafeterias, Grill Buffets, and Buffets |
| 5812 | Eating Places | 722515 | Snack and Nonalcoholic Beverage Bars |
| 5812 | Eating Places | 722310 | Food Service Contractors |
| 5812 | Eating Places | 722320 | Caterers |
| 5812 | Eating Places | 722330 | Mobile Food Services (food trucks) |
| 5813 | Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages) | 722410 | Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages) |
If you found 5812 on a credit card statement or a payment processing form, that is MCC 5812, "Eating Places and Restaurants." Merchant category codes are assigned by card networks for transaction classification. They happen to share the number 5812 with the SIC code by coincidence, and the two systems are unrelated. This page covers the SIC code.
All of these classify under the same four-digit code. If you need to separate them for a calling list, filter by NAICS or by employee count rather than by SIC.
Table service with waitstaff, where customers order and are served while seated and pay after eating. Includes casual dining, fine dining, family restaurants, and steakhouses.
Counter or drive-through service where customers order and pay before eating. Includes quick service chains, pizzerias, sandwich shops, and takeout-only operations.
Self-service formats where food is displayed and selected by the customer. Includes grill buffets, institutional cafeterias, and all-you-can-eat operations.
Establishments serving snacks and nonalcoholic drinks. Includes coffee shops, juice bars, ice cream parlors, bagel shops, and donut shops.
Operators running food service at another party's site, such as corporate cafeterias, school and hospital dining, stadium concessions, and event caterers.
Establishments whose primary business is serving alcohol for on-premise consumption. A restaurant with a bar stays under 5812. A bar that serves food classifies as 5813.
Most people searching for the restaurant SIC code are filling out a form or building a prospect list. If it's the second one, the code is the starting filter and the useful work happens after it.
In our portal, SIC 5812 narrows 19 million US and Canadian businesses down to eating places. From there you can layer on employee count to separate independents from chains, annual revenue, city, county, zip, or area code, and contact name where available. The output is a CSV with the business name, phone number, address, SIC code, and the demographic fields you selected, ready to load into any dialer or CRM.
Common combinations buyers use: independent restaurants with fewer than 20 employees for POS and payment processing, full-service restaurants by metro for food distribution and equipment, and new or recently listed establishments for insurance and payroll services.
Eating places close and change hands more often than most business categories, so a restaurant list ages faster than, say, a law firm list. Our US business data is refreshed quarterly, and we estimate roughly 90% accuracy on business records. Ask about refresh timing before you buy a large restaurant file, whoever you buy it from.
These are the SIC 5812 eating places we hold with a verified phone number, broken out by state. Every count below is available as a filtered download, and you can narrow further by city, county, zip, employee count, or revenue inside the portal.
