Why location matters
About 1 in 3 small businesses in Canada close within five years. You can't control everything, but you can check the location before you sign. Enter the address in MapWorthy to see the people, the competitors and the traffic around it.
Fewer than half of small businesses are still open after ten years, and a lease can tie you to one spot for years. Look at where the area is heading, not only where it is today. MapWorthy shows population and age now and in 2031.
41% of restaurant operators say they are at a loss or breaking even. When margins are thin, a weak location leaves no room for error. Check every competitor near you before you commit. MapWorthy maps them inside 1, 3 and 5 minute drive rings.
Nearly 98% of food businesses in Canada are small, like yours. You may not have a site selection team, so check the address yourself. MapWorthy gives you a report with a source and a date under every number.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a location to open a restaurant?
Look at who lives nearby, how many similar restaurants are close, and anything that can rule a site out. MapWorthy checks these for an address and gives an answer with its reasons.
Can I hand the report to my bank?
Yes, on paid plans. On any paid plan, you can download a site package for a Canadian address. It contains no sales projection.
Can I check a site without counting competition?
Yes. You can leave out competition before you run a report, and the report says what was left out.
