Food / Drink Apps for Toronto
Ritual
Order from your favourite restaurants before arriving. The initial intent of this app was for downtown workers to not waste half of their lunch hour standing in line. The stress was real if you weren’t sure you would be able to order and eat your meal before your lunch break was up! Your food will be ready in a to-go bag, but you can stick around at the restaurant if you want.
BONUS CODE: AERYN8153
We’ll both recieve $10 after making your first order using the Ritual app!
Door Dash
One of a number of delivery services available in Toronto for favourite restaurants across the city (and North America, there are 800+ restaurants to choose from.)
Get $10 off your next order when you sign up with this referral link!
Second Cup
Let nothing stand in the way of your caffeine intake, like trying to wrestle your wallet when placing your order. Since your phone is undoubtedly in your other hand, keep your wallet in your pocket and pay with your phone instead. Also, earn all the points for free drinks or even beans!
PC Express – Online Grocery Made Easy
Order your groceries from your favourite PC brand store before you drive there. Make grocery shopping a breeze for when you’re in a particular time crunch.
Starbucks
Load your e-wallet for easy purchasing, but also, earn free food and drinks throughout the year. Earn enough points to become a Gold Member, and don’t forget your free birthday treat! If you’re a December baby like me, that means you can get one of their AMAZING turkey dinner sandwiches (turkey, cranberry and dressing) for FREE. Best birthday gift EVER.

Transit Now
Find out when the next few TTC buses or streetcars arrive for your stop. Favourite the ones you use the most for quick access. It’s perfect to help you figure out when you need to leave your home or office to catch the next bus on time (without waiting in the cold/heat for so long). There are a number of apps that will keep you up to date with TTC’s bus service, though this is my favourite one so far.
Presto
Currently in Beta mode (it might not always work as you need,) keep track of your Presto card’s balance and usage history. Presto cards are used on TTC, Go Transit and the UP Express.
Beck Taxi
Lyft
