What This Is Costing You
Right now, customers are searching for pho in Scarborough and landing on a generic template that does not represent your food or your brand.
With 3 locations losing even 15 orders/day to delivery apps:
450+ orders/month at 25-30% commission
At $18-$22 avg order:
$2,000-$3,000/month in commissions
That's money going to SkipTheDishes and Uber Eats.
A proper website with direct ordering keeps that margin.

And with 3 locations, it compounds fast.

Generic WordPress Template
The site is a basic WordPress template with minimal content, no brand story, no team photos, and no reviews showcased. A customer cannot tell Pho Vietnam apart from any other pho shop based on the website alone.
Fix: Custom-designed site that tells the family story, showcases the food, and builds trust
2
3 Locations, No Unified Brand
Three Scarborough locations but no cohesive brand presence online. Each location page is a phone number and a Google Maps embed. They look like three different restaurants, not one trusted brand.
Fix: Unified brand identity with dedicated per-location pages, local SEO, and consistent design
3
Zero Social Media
No Instagram, no TikTok, no Facebook page. Food bloggers are already posting about Pho Vietnam and tagging the locations, but there is no owned channel to capture or amplify that free attention.
Fix: Claimed social profiles, content strategy, and blogger outreach to turn free mentions into followers
4
No Online Ordering
Basic QuickPOS integration only. No direct ordering system that bypasses third-party delivery app commissions. With 3 locations, 25-30% commissions on every SkipTheDishes and Uber Eats order add up fast.
Fix: Integrated direct ordering with pickup/delivery options that keep the full margin
5
No Location Pages
All 3 locations listed on a single page. No individual URLs for Kennedy Rd, Midland Ave, or Lawrence Ave. Google cannot tell which location to show for "pho near me" searches in different neighbourhoods.
Fix: Dedicated per-location pages with local schema, hours, reviews, and neighbourhood-specific SEO
