Restaurant ordering in Vaughan: what the numbers say
Vaughan grew 5.5% 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.
Vaughan is spread out, at about 1,186 people per km² over 272 km². Set delivery fees by distance so long trips pay for themselves, and give pickup customers a reason to choose it.
