Food Delivery App Development
Our food delivery app development work covers ordering, delivery and loyalty apps for Canadian restaurants, chains, ghost kitchens and grocery businesses. Owning your ordering channel means keeping the margin that third-party platforms take, so we connect the app straight to your kitchen and your point of sale.
Apps we build for restaurants
- Restaurant ordering apps for pickup and dine-in
- Delivery apps with live driver tracking and delivery windows
- Table reservation and waitlist apps with reminders
- Loyalty and rewards apps with points, offers and member pricing
- Multi-location chain apps with per-store menus, hours and pricing
- Driver apps for restaurants running their own delivery fleet
Key features
- Menus with modifiers, combos, upsells and item-level availability
- Scheduled ordering for later today or a set date, with kitchen capacity limits
- Live order status from accepted to preparing to out for delivery
- Driver map with ETA, plus contactless delivery notes and photos
- Integration with POS systems such as Square, Toast or Lightspeed
- Tipping, split payment and receipts that match your in-store totals
Compliance and considerations
Card payments go through a tokenised provider, so PCI DSS obligations stay with the processor rather than your kitchen systems. Menu information that mentions allergens or nutrition needs to be accurate and kept in step with what the kitchen actually serves, so we build it as data your team can update instead of text hard-coded into the app. If you deliver alcohol, provincial liquor rules apply and age verification at handover has to be part of the driver flow. Marketing pushes and offer emails need CASL consent, which we collect at sign-up.
Why restaurants companies choose us
- Direct POS integration, so orders land on the kitchen printer without staff retyping them
- We design ordering for speed on a phone at lunchtime, not for a desktop menu layout
- Multi-location support built in from the start, including per-store menus and pricing
- Loyalty designed to increase order frequency rather than just discount existing orders
- Fixed-scope quotes covering customer app, driver app and admin tools separately
- Support plans that cover evenings and weekends, when restaurant apps are busiest

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We integrate with common restaurant point of sale systems so orders print in the kitchen and reconcile with your daily totals. Where a POS has no usable API, we provide a tablet order screen with sound alerts as the fallback.
For most restaurants with repeat customers, yes. Marketplace commission on every order adds up quickly, and your own app keeps the customer relationship and their order history. Marketplaces are still useful for discovery, so many of our clients run both.
Yes. One app can serve every location with its own menu, prices, hours and stock, and customers pick a store or are matched by address. Head office keeps a single admin view across all sites.
Most projects run $50,000 to $199,000. Ordering and loyalty for a single brand sits at the lower end, while adding your own delivery fleet, driver app and dispatch pushes it higher.
An ordering and pickup MVP usually launches in 8 to 12 weeks. A full platform with delivery tracking, a driver app and loyalty takes 4 to 7 months.
