About Us | Local Eats Canada - Canada's Local Food Delivery Aggregator

How It Started

Born from a Delivery App Frustration

It was 2024 in Thunder Bay, Ontario. David Park, a local food enthusiast, was trying to find the best deal for a group dinner. He had six different delivery apps open—comparing prices, delivery times, and menus across each one.

"Why isn't there one platform that shows me everything?" he asked. That night, the idea for Local Eats Canada was born.

David gathered a small group of fellow food lovers and built a solution: one platform that displays all local restaurants, compares prices, and shows delivery times. Starting with just 12 local restaurants in Thunder Bay, Local Eats Canada has grown to partner with over 500 restaurants across 50+ Canadian cities.
