For butchers and delis on Vancouver Island

Online orders for your butcher shop,
charged at the weight on your scale.

Sell your cuts, deli meats and seafood to local households and restaurants.

No subscription. You pay only when you sell.

Why it suits a butcher shop

  • Made for food shops, not just restaurants

    Uber Eats and DoorDash were made for restaurants, and grocery apps for the big chains. We started Local Pass with independent food shops in mind — the butcher, the deli, the fish counter.

  • From Victoria, for local food

    We’re based in Victoria, and we’re starting on Vancouver Island. People shop here for local food — which is what a neighbourhood butcher, deli or fishmonger sells.

  • Your counter stays as it is

    The Saturday queue, the phone orders and the chefs you cut for all carry on. There’s no exclusivity and no minimum, so nothing has to change.

Sell meat and seafood online, the way you do at the counter

  • Food Market shop

    Sold by weight

    Steaks, roasts, fillets and sliced meats, priced by the pound or kilo. Each customer pays for what you weigh out.

  • Food Market shop

    Or by the piece, pack or dozen

    Chops by the piece, sausages by the pack, oysters by the dozen, a meat box by the box — each product gets its own unit and price.

  • Food Market shop

    A page for every cut

    Each cut, fillet and deli item gets its own page on Local Pass, so people can find it on Google.

  • Food Market shop

    Delivery, shipping or pickup

    Send orders out with a Local Pass driver or your own, ship them, or let customers collect from pickup points that keep their own hours.

  • Food Market shop

    Certifications on show

    Show the certifications and awards you hold — organic or halal, say — on your business page.

  • Restaurant menu

    A deli that cooks to order? Use a menu

    Sandwiches and hot food made to order sell from a restaurant page — your menu, hours and photos, with ordering built in.

  • Delivery routes

    Keep frozen orders cold without planning routes by hand

    Add your vans and press one button. Frozen orders go on your refrigerated vans, and every home delivery and restaurant drop gets a route in the order to drive it.

    • On the driver’s phone

      Drivers follow the route in the Local Pass app. iPhone now, Android coming soon.

    • Home to take it in

      Customers get a message when the van sets off and when they’re next.

    • What to load

      The route sheet tells the driver what to load.

    • No van overloaded

      No van is loaded past its limit or kept out past the driver’s hours.

    A day’s deliveries, split between a refrigerated van and a cargo van.

Beyond everyday orders

  • Soon to Go

    Sell today’s surplus instead of throwing it out

    The last trays, this morning’s bread, the produce that won’t last the week.

    Mark it Soon to Go and sell it at a discount, with a clearance badge and boosted placement. We’re inviting businesses to join now, and we’ll set it up with you.

  • Wholesale

    For anyone who buys in bulk

    Orders by text, prices in a spreadsheet, invoices typed by hand.

    Cafés, restaurants, caterers and shops each get an order sheet with your prices, behind a password if you like. They send an order, you confirm what you can supply, and then the invoice goes out.

  • Subscriptions

    Regulars who order every week

    The same customers asking for the same order, every week, by text.

    Sell a weekly or monthly subscription box. Subscribers pay by card and skip or change their own weeks, and each week’s orders arrive ready to pack.

    How subscriptions work

NewShared buying

Sell a side of beef to four families

Put a whole animal up in shares before it’s cut, or sell it already cut and frozen. Each buyer picks a quarter or a half, alone, with friends or with the community, and pays when they order.

  • Shares or any amount

    Quarters, halves, wholes or by the pound, and never more than the animal.

  • Before processing, or frozen

    Sell it before processing day, or already cut, wrapped and frozen.

  • Paid when they order

    In full or a deposit. By weight, the balance follows the weigh-in.

  • Friends or the community

    Buyers split a share with friends, or open it to neighbours who want less.

What your buyers see: the animal, the sizes you offer and how many shares are left.

Take orders on your own website, too

Your regulars can order from your website, chefs from a sheet and neighbours from Local Pass. It all comes to one counter.

  • Your cuts, on your site

    Paste your whole shop, a few cuts, or a weekend meat box and your specials into your website.

  • Weighed the same way

    Customers check out on Local Pass, so a cut sold by weight is held and charged at the weight you pack, whichever door they came through.

  • Chefs ordering off the app

    The restaurants you cut for order from a sheet of your wholesale prices instead of from the Local Pass app.

  • Pickup at your counter

    Customers who order on your site can collect from your counter or your pickup points, each with its own hours.

NewYour own store site

No website? Your shop can be one.

When customers come in through your own link, your Local Pass shop looks like your own website, not like an app full of other businesses.

  • Your name and logo up top

    With your own menu: your shop, and pre-orders, subscriptions, wholesale or catering when you offer them.

  • No other stores around you

    No marketplace, no other businesses’ products. Just a small “Powered by Local Pass” at the bottom.

  • Opened from your links

    Your shop link, your QR code and your website’s Order button all open this version.

  • Same checkout, same account

    Customers pay on Local Pass, and the orders come in with all the others.

Co-founder of Local Pass

Rather talk first?

Tell me what’s in your case, what you sell by weight and who you cut for — and I’ll show you how weighing and charging would work on Local Pass.

What butchers, delis and fishmongers ask first

Can a butcher shop sell meat online by weight with Local Pass?

Yes. The customer’s card is held when they order on Local Pass. As you pack, you weigh each cut on your own scale and enter the price it shows, and that’s what they pay. No deposit to take, no difference to refund.

What can a butcher, deli or fish shop sell on Local Pass?

Beef, pork, lamb, poultry and game, from single cuts to sausages, bacon and ham; fresh, frozen or smoked fish and shellfish; cheese, pickles and ready meals. Bones and raw pet food can be sold too.

Which side of Local Pass suits a deli?

It depends on what you sell. Sliced meats, cheese and anything priced by weight suit a shop on Local Pass; sandwiches and hot food made to order suit a restaurant page with a menu.

Can customers ask about a cut before they order?

Yes. Customers can message your shop in chat on Local Pass, so questions about thickness, bone-in or boneless, or a cut you don’t usually carry come straight to you.

Can I pause online orders during the holiday rush?

Yes. When the counter is flat out — the week before Christmas, say — switch your shop to Closed in your dashboard. Online orders pause until you reopen, and your products stay just as they were.

The same way of selling, for a different kind of business.
