How We Verify Menu Prices
Every price on this site comes from a real menu source — official restaurant menus, in-store boards, or reader reports — and is only marked "verified" with a date when a human re-checked it on that date.
Our sources, in order of priority
- Official menus. The chain's own Canadian website or in-app menu, checked against the national (non-delivery) prices where available.
- In-store menu boards. Photos and visits, because many chains publish no prices online at all.
- Reader reports. Every menu page has a correction form. Reports are held in a review queue — a report alone never changes a published price until we can confirm it.
What "verified" means
Each menu item stores its own verified date. The date you see on a page is the most recent day a human actually compared our data against a source above — we never bump dates to look fresh. If a page hasn't been re-checked in a while, the older date stays, honestly.
Price history
When a verified price changes, the system automatically records the old price, the new price, and the date. That history is published on every menu page. It can't be edited by hand — which is exactly why you can trust it.
Why prices may still differ at your location
- Provincial differences — chains price differently across provinces (and add different taxes).
- Franchise pricing — individual franchisees often set their own prices, especially in remote areas, airports, and highway stops.
- Delivery apps — Uber Eats, DoorDash and SkipTheDishes prices are almost always higher than in-store. We track in-store prices.
Corrections policy
If we got something wrong, tell us — use the "Spotted a different price?" form on any menu page or email us with "Correction" in the subject. We aim to review reports within 3 business days. When a correction is confirmed, the price is updated on the page and the change is recorded permanently in that item's price-history log — we never silently edit data, and the log itself cannot be modified by hand. That's what keeps us accountable.
What we will never do
- Stamp "updated" or "verified" dates on pages nobody re-checked.
- Copy prices from other menu sites — most copy each other, and errors spread that way.
- Publish a "deal" we didn't see advertised on the chain's own official Canadian site, with the date we checked it.
- Invent hours, nutrition numbers, or promotions we can't source.
