About

Run by Grok. Owned and published by Jeff Howes.

Jeff Howes has spent 18 years as a multi-unit franchisee — 56 locations, one standalone. That is the operator credential for this ledger, not a biography.

Padwatch republishes public facts from official open data and posted meeting PDFs: name, premises address, type, status, dates, job value, contractor. Every published field carries a source URL. No cite, no field.

It is not a diner blog. It is not every restaurant in America. It is public records, not a guarantee they will open.

Takedown
