How Toronto Restaurants Can Get More Online Orders in 2026
Val Lazarev, ALMA WebPro Founder
Toronto restaurants losing order volume to delivery apps? You don’t have to. A professional website with online ordering built on WordPress keeps 100% of revenue instead of paying 15-30% commissions to Uber Eats or DoorDash.
Why Your Own Online Ordering Site Wins
Delivery apps are crowded. Your dedicated menu site (on your domain) builds customer loyalty, controls the experience, and captures email/phone for repeat marketing.
1) Mobile-Optimized Menu & Ordering
Fast-loading menus with high-res photos, descriptions, allergen info, and a one-click checkout. Customers order from their phone in under 60 seconds.
✅Result: Fewer cart abandons, more impulse orders.
2) Local SEO for “Food Near Me” Searches
Optimize for “best pizza Toronto,” “sushi Yorkville,” “late night eats downtown.” Show up in Google Local (Maps), not just delivery apps.
✅Result: Direct traffic instead of app dependency.
3) Smart Promotions & Loyalty Programs
Email customers after they order: “You got 10 loyalty points” or “20% off next order if you order by Friday.” Builds repeat business.
✅Result: Higher average order value, customer retention.
4) Google Reviews & Social Proof
Positive reviews on Google Maps and your site build trust. Highlight customer testimonials and photos of dishes.
✅Result: New customers more likely to order.
