The Problem Toronto Restaurants Face
Third-party apps are eating 15-30% of every order
DoorDash, UberEats, and SkipTheDishes charge 15-30% commission on every order. On a $50 order, you lose $7.50-$15 in fees. For a restaurant doing $10,000/month in delivery, that's $1,500-$3,000/month — or $18,000-$36,000/year going to apps instead of your kitchen. Direct online ordering through your own website eliminates these fees entirely.
Toronto has 8,000+ restaurants — and 72% closed within 5 years
The restaurants that survive have strong online presence. 77% of Toronto diners research restaurants online before visiting — checking menus, photos, reviews, and comparing options. A restaurant with a professional website converts 3x more walk-ins than one relying solely on social media or third-party apps.
"Restaurant near me" searches peak at 5-7 PM — when you're too busy to answer the phone
84% of "restaurant near me" searches on mobile lead to an action within 24 hours. If you don't rank in local search results or Google Maps during dinner rush, you're invisible to hungry customers in King West, Liberty Village, Ossington, and every other Toronto neighbourhood.
