Websites & Online Ordering for St. John's Restaurants and Cafés
Stop paying 30% to SkipTheDishes. Own your orders, own your margins, and give your St. John's customers a seamless way to order — rain, fog, or blizzard.
St. John's has some of the most passionate, independent restaurant owners in Atlantic Canada — and some of the toughest weather on the planet. When a nor'easter rolls in off the harbour and your dining room empties out, your website and online ordering system become your front-of-house. Global Maple System builds them to work as hard as you do.
Whether you're slinging chowder on Duckworth Street, pulling espresso shots near MUN, or running a packed brunch spot on Water Street, we build you a site that looks the part, ranks on Google, and takes commission-free orders directly from your customers — without a middleman eating into every transaction.

What Restaurants & Cafés in St. John's tell us
- ✕Losing a third of your online order revenue to delivery app commissions every single week
- ✕Potential customers Googling 'best café in St. John's' and not finding you because your website is outdated or nonexistent
- ✕Staff tied up answering the same phone questions — hours, menu, parking — instead of serving the room
- ✕No way to capture tourist traffic during peak summer season before they walk past your door and into a competitor's
Why St. John's Restaurants & Cafés choose us
Keep More of Every Order
Third-party apps charge restaurants 15–30% per order. A direct online ordering system on your own site means those margins stay in your pocket — not with a platform headquartered somewhere else.
Get Found When Tourists Search
During Regatta Week, George Street Festival, or any summer weekend, visitors search 'restaurants near me' in St. John's. A properly built, locally-optimized website puts you at the top when it counts most.
Take Orders Around the Clock
Your phone stops ringing at 10 PM. Your website doesn't. Capture late-night takeout orders from MUN students and downtown residents without a single staff member lifting a finger.
Reduce Phone Traffic During Rush
Friday night on George Street is chaos. An online ordering system lets your kitchen team focus on cooking instead of taking phone orders, reducing errors and stress during your busiest service.
Build a Customer Base You Actually Own
Unlike a third-party app that hides your customer data, your own ordering system lets you collect emails and phone numbers — so you can run promotions, announce seasonal menus, and bring people back directly.

Questions, answered
Not necessarily. Many St. John's restaurants keep a third-party app for discovery while routing loyal, repeat customers through their own site where margins are better. We help you build the direct channel — how you use both is up to you.
Most projects go live within 2–4 weeks. We handle design, development, menu build-out, and Google setup. You review and approve — we do the heavy lifting.
Yes. We build on platforms with simple, intuitive dashboards so you or your manager can update items, prices, photos, and daily specials without touching a line of code.
Exclusively independents. If you're a family-owned spot, a one-location café, or a food truck looking to grow, you're exactly who we built this for. St. John's independent food scene deserves better tools.
You get direct support from our team — not a ticket queue. We're a small studio, and we treat your site like it matters, because for your business, it does.
