Montreal is the one city on this list where the first question about your page is a legal one: since 1 June 2025, commercial advertising aimed at Quebec consumers has to be markedly predominant in French, and the rule now reaches business names and trade marks as well as the text around them. That is not a reason to go without a page; it is the reason to have one built properly, in two languages, French first and English underneath for the customer who needs it. We build that page, once, for C$69 to C$279.
Three things come up in almost every conversation we have with Montreal owners. None of them is a design problem.
The page is written in French first and English second, with the French carrying the names and the prices, so a Quebec customer reads it as a Quebec page and an anglophone visitor still finds the hours. One link, both languages, no second site to maintain.
Apportez votre vin rooms on the Plateau sell food and a room; there is no wine list and no drinks margin. The page carries the menu, the corkage line and the hours, which is the whole decision a customer makes before booking.
A monthly platform bills through January at the same rate as July. One payment does not care that the terrace is under a metre of snow, and it does not have to be cancelled and rebuilt every spring.
Not a template you fill in. We take your hours, prices and photos, build each piece, and hand back a live link that works in French first for someone on the 80 bus comparing three rooms on rue Saint-Denis.
One form, five minutes. Delivery target is one business day from the moment we have your details, hours, menu and photos.
The fastest way to judge this is to open one. This is a sample built from a public listing, so the phone, address and hours are the shop's own.
Not a customer site. See the standard layout we deliver →
Plateau and Mile End cafés, Saint-Henri and Griffintown rooms, Little Italy's tables on Jean-Talon, Verdun's newer kitchens and the BYOW bistros that have fed Rosemont for thirty years.
Not on the list? It does not matter — everything is built remotely and delivered as a link and files, so the neighbourhood changes the words, not the price.

Toast: Traditional list on its Starter Kit checkout, single location, first terminal (read 7 November 2026). BentoBox: no published price since the Clover fold-in, so the last list it printed is used. Owner.com: published pricing at $5,000/mo of online orders. Slice: 600 orders a month, a busy pizzeria's volume, because that is what decides the per-order fee. Card processing is on top of every line here; we take no orders and process nothing.
Nothing here is a subscription, and nothing renews. Pick the link if that is all you need; pick the Local Pack if customers keep asking for the menu.
One page, one business day.
The one most shops order.
Everything, plus 30 days of us on call.
Prices are charged in US dollars by Polar Software, Inc. at checkout. The C$ figures are the same prices converted at about C$1 = US$0.71 (C$1.40 to the dollar) and move with the rate; your bank may add its own conversion fee. For a Quebec billing address, GST of 5% and QST of 9.975% are calculated and shown on the checkout page before you pay.
Payment is taken by Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, on their checkout page — we never see your card. By ordering you agree to our terms and refund policy. One round of edits is included; the files are yours to keep and reprint.
Each of the eleven has its own page, with its own price ladder, contract terms and three-year arithmetic.
The card is charged in US dollars by Polar at checkout. The C$ figures here are the same prices converted at C$1 = US$0.71 and move with the rate; your card may add its own conversion fee. Quebec tax — GST 5% and QST 9.975% — is calculated at checkout for your billing address.
French first, then English, both written rather than machine-translated. Quebec's advertising rules since 1 June 2025 require French to be markedly predominant, and they reach business names and trade marks as well, so the French is the page and the English sits underneath it.
Yes — a line for apportez votre vin with your corkage and glass service, next to the hours. It is the first thing an anglophone visitor asks and the last thing a Plateau regular needs explained.
The page carries two sets of hours and a dated line at the top that you switch yourself: terrace open, terrace closed, holiday closure. Nothing has to be rebuilt in May or taken down in October.
The Local Pack: a mobile website on its own link, a digital menu with one QR code per table, three print-ready posters, five Instagram posts with captions, and one round of edits. The files are yours and there is no subscription.
No. C$69, C$279 or C$699 — US$49, US$199 or US$499, charged once. The C$ figure is a conversion at C$1 = US$0.71 and moves with the rate. Domain registration, printing and advertising are yours to pay if you want them, and we do not take a cut of anything you sell.
Yes. You get an edit key for the page, so a price, a closing time or a sold-out dish is a change you make in a minute. The QR codes already on the tables keep working because the address never changes.
Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, on their checkout page. Your card details are entered there and never on this site; they issue the receipt and handle any refund.
The packages, what is delivered, and the three-year maths — on one A4 page you can hand over or pin up.

Send your hours, your menu and a few photos. We build the page, the QR menu, the posters and the posts, and hand it back the next business day. If you already pay a platform for a page like this, this is the line you can take off the bill.
