Restaurant ordering in Chatham-Kent: what the numbers say
Chatham-Kent grew 2.3% between 2016 and 2021, a steady rate. In a settled market, repeat customers are what keep a restaurant busy, so offers for returning guests and easy reordering matter more than chasing new reach.
Chatham-Kent covers 2,452 km² at only about 42 people per km², so many addresses sit far from any restaurant. Draw delivery zones around the neighbourhoods you can actually reach in time, and promote pickup to everyone else.
