Ranked by restaurant and bar building permits issued in San Francisco since 2018 with the firm named on the permit record; firms need 2 or more to be listed. Too few firms have 3 or more timed restaurant and bar permits with plan review to compare times, so the last column shows restaurant and bar permits as a share of each firm's permits of all types; the plan drawings show the same mix, with this type hatched. Neighborhoods are where it filed the most permits of any type. A listing is not an endorsement, and nobody pays to be ranked. Some firms appear twice when the city recorded them under two names.
