Restaurants & Cafes for Canadian Businesses

Built for independent restaurants, cafes, ghost kitchens, Indo-Canadian sweet shops, dhabas, and small chains across Canada that are tired of paying 20–30% commissions to Uber Eats and want a direct-order channel. Equally suited to new openings who need a launch site and to established places that have outgrown a Wix template.

Canada's restaurant industry runs on thin margins, often in the low single digits, which is why a 25% commission to Uber Eats is existential, not annoying. The post-2023 shift has been clear: most independent operators want to claw back direct orders, especially Indo-Canadian restaurants in Brampton, Surrey, Mississauga, and Scarborough where regulars order the same five things weekly and would happily WhatsApp the owner instead of opening a third-party app. Payment-wise, Stripe Canada is the default for cards (2.9% + 30¢), Moneris is preferred where you already have the in-store terminal (better rates if bundled), and Interac e-Transfer is often preferred by older Indo-Canadian customer bases. Tax handling matters: GST 5% federal, HST 13% in Ontario / 14–15% in the Atlantic provinces, PST + GST in BC/SK/MB, and QST + GST in Quebec, where the Charter of the French language (as amended by Bill 96) requires the menu and checkout to be available in French. Restaurants with liquor licences face provincial alcohol-online-sale rules (Ontario AGCO, BC LCRB) that we configure into checkout (ID-on-delivery flags, no shipping outside province). On the SEO side, "restaurant near me" plus cuisine modifier ("punjabi restaurant brampton", "ramen vancouver downtown") is where most new-customer traffic comes from — schema, GBP optimization, and city-cuisine landing pages move the needle far more than blog content. The usual alternative is an ordering platform on a monthly subscription; we build you an asset you own outright.
