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

Rather talk first?
Tell me about your restaurant — what you serve, how you take orders today and what the delivery apps cost you — and I’ll show you how it would run on Local Pass.
Yes — it’s the Victoria-owned alternative. Local Pass takes a lower commission than Uber Eats or DoorDash, puts you in front of neighbours looking to eat local, and has a local team you can reach. There’s no exclusivity, so you can keep the apps you already use.
Setup takes under 10 minutes, and we do it with you: your dishes, your prices and where you deliver.
Yes. Switch your restaurant to Closed on your dashboard, and new orders stop until you switch it back to Open.
Yes. Pickup can run on its own, which suits a counter-service cafe or a food truck; delivery is a separate setting you can leave off.
Yes. Cafes, pubs and bars, food trucks, and delis and sandwich shops can all sell on Local Pass alongside sit-down restaurants.
Yes. Local Pass is live in Greater Victoria, with Nanaimo, Duncan, Courtenay, Campbell River and Port Alberni rolling out across Vancouver Island. Apply now and tell us where you are. Based somewhere else? Apply anyway.
No. They can order on the web at localpass.ca/takeout, or in the Local Pass app for iPhone and Android.
