Quick Answer

How Hungry Canadian Powers Grocery & Specialty Markets

Hungry Canadian enables local grocers, butchers, and specialty shops to upload and manage thousands of SKUs via bulk CSV or AI conversion. The platform supports variable-weight pricing, custom delivery radii with distance-based subtotals, real-time driver/customer chat, and custom branded storefronts.

Large-catalog operations

Large Catalog Management & AI Digitization

Grocers routinely manage thousands of SKUs across dozens of categories. Hungry Canadian gives you the bulk-editing power and AI shortcuts to keep every last one accurate online.

  • Bulk Import & Filtering

    Effortlessly upload, edit, and organize thousands of product SKUs using CSV spreadsheets. Filter catalogs instantly by category, price, or product tags within the dashboard.

  • AI Catalog Conversion

    Convert physical price sheets, images, or PDF product lists into fully mapped online items with AI assistance.

Weight & unit accuracy

Variable-Weight Pricing & Multi-Unit Options

Produce, meat, cheese, bulk goods — every specialty grocer sells by weight. Configure the exact price/gram or price/lb logic your counter staff already run manually.

  • Weight & Dimension Customization

    Easily set product weight and dimension attributes for packaging and delivery calculations.

  • Unit Quantity Allowances

    Configure additive pricing per unit or weight increment (e.g., adding +100g or +1lb buttons with dynamic price adjustments).

  • Allergen & Search Tagging

    Label products with dietary badges (gluten-free, organic, halal) and search tags that index directly within the local marketplace.

Local delivery economics

Smart Geofencing & Radius-Based Delivery

A 3 km delivery and a 20 km delivery cost you very different amounts to fulfill. Enforce your own minimums and caps by exact distance instead of guessing.

  • Distance-Based Rules

    Enforce minimum order subtotals and order quantity caps based on the customer’s precise distance/geolocation.

  • Custom Fulfillment Instructions

    Provide customized pickup text, prep times, and handling notes for fragile or refrigerated goods.

Substitutions & upgrades

Real-Time Substitution & Growth Upgrades

The single biggest online-grocery pain point is the out-of-stock item. Hungry Canadian solves it two ways: live inventory sync + a direct chat line to the customer.

  • Pro Connect & Growth VIP Syncing

    Connect directly with your retail POS to sync live inventory and avoid overselling.

  • Instant Order Messaging

    Connect instantly with shoppers or drivers via active order chat to handle item substitutions.

  • Custom Storefront Design

    Upgrade to a custom-designed digital storefront tailored specifically to your brand identity.
