Restaurant ordering in Saskatoon: what the numbers say
Saskatoon grew 7.7% 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.
Saskatoon is spread out, at about 1,175 people per km² over 227 km². Set delivery fees by distance so long trips pay for themselves, and give pickup customers a reason to choose it.
