What are the most common types of restaurant deals in Canada?
Dinner specials are the most common type of restaurant deal in Canada: 692 of the 1,662 live deals as of November 11, 2026. Drink deals come second (527), then meals under $15 (439), happy hour (271) and wings (271). Kids eat free and all-you-can-eat deals have 37 each.
Seniors discounts are the rarest type, with 14 live deals; senior discount days at Canadian restaurants compares the seniors offers by day and age.

|---|---|---|---|
| Happy hour | 271 | 87 | $6 |
| Tacos | 72 | 48 | $6 |
| Drinks | 527 | 240 | $7 |

The median is the middle published price: half the fixed-price deals of that type cost it or less. It leaves out "from" prices, percentages off and free items. Wing prices mix per-wing and per-order deals, so the wing median is not the price of an order. Two Can Dine deals mostly cover two people, but 3 of the 34 are quoted per person.
The happy hour median covers price only. For the days and hours, happy hour times at Canadian chains compares when each chain runs it.
Two of the six chains in the table further down sit well under the overall median: Pizza Pizza's slice and 355 mL drink for $5, walk-in only, and Wendy's Canada's Everyday Value menu, with each item under $4 at participating restaurants.

How many restaurant deals are dine-in only or need an app?

View DealHow did we count these restaurant deal statistics for Canada?
Every number in this report comes from the DinersDeals directory on November 11, 2026: 1,662 live deals (1,643 verified, 19 unconfirmed) at 456 restaurants in 71 cities. Each deal is recorded from the restaurant's own website with its price, days, hours and conditions, tied to the branches where it applies and dated with our last check, as set out in how we verify deals.
"Live" means running on November 11, 2026: started and not expired. A deal counts once in the national total, and once in each city and province where at least one branch runs it. Medians use only deals with one published dollar price.
This report counts deals, not menu prices. Statistics Canada tracks restaurant prices in the food purchased from restaurants index of its monthly Consumer Price Index (opens in a new tab) (table 18-10-0004-01).
