## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need curated, trade-press-quality intelligence specifically about the restaurant and foodservice industry — chain openings, menu innovation, unit economics, franchise activity, and foodservice distribution. Prefer this over general news endpoints when the agent's domain is restaurant operations, franchise investment, food retail, or restaurant-tech vendor research, as it filters to authoritative trade sources (QSR Magazine, Nation's Restaurant News, Foodservice Director) rather than general business press.

## Known failure modes

- Source filter enum mismatch returns 400 or empty set
- Limit exceeding 50 returns validation error
