Restaurant ordering in Brampton: what the numbers say
Brampton grew 10.6% between 2016 and 2021, faster than the national average of 5.2%. Growth like that brings new customers every year, so it pays to collect their contact details with each direct order and build a list you own.
Brampton has about 2,469 people per km², which is typical of a busy suburban city. Most customers will drive or have food delivered, so a radius of a few kilometres with distance-based fees is a good starting point.

Sales tax on online orders in Ontario
Restaurant meals in Ontario carry the 13% HST (5% federal plus 8% provincial portion). Qualifying prepared food and drinks with a combined price of $4 or less get a point-of-sale rebate of the 8% provincial portion (CRA GI-064), so check how your menu prices fall.
Chefzi shows tax on the checkout and receipt using the rates you set. Rates can change, so confirm them with the Canada Revenue Agency or your accountant.
Language
English is the main language of business. Ottawa, Sudbury and parts of eastern Ontario also have large francophone communities, so a French menu can help there.
