Garden City Cannabis Co. runs five Niagara-region stores through Dutchie's per-order platform - at that volume, a proprietary ordering and loyalty system you own outright would cut the transaction fees and finally give head office one dashboard instead of five separate menus.

Why they need it

Garden City Cannabis Co. calls itself 'Niagara's Hometown Store' and backs that up with five real storefronts across St. Catharines, Welland and Fort Erie - but each one runs a separate embedded Dutchie menu, meaning the business pays third-party transaction fees five times over and has no single view of stock across the region. A proprietary ordering platform they own outright would eliminate the recurring per-order SaaS cost at that volume, unify loyalty points so a customer who shops in Welland and St. Catharines is recognized as one customer, and give head office a live inventory dashboard to rebalance stock between locations instead of managers calling each other. Users: customers ordering online, store managers checking cross-location stock, and ownership tracking sales in one place. This is the clearest recurring-cost-to-fixed-cost conversion in the segment given the five-location volume.

Tech gaps

Pays per-order fees to a third-party platform (Dutchie) across five separate storefronts, no unified loyalty program spanning locations, no visible centralized inventory dashboard for head office, no published email or contact form.

Current tech

Dutchie-embedded ordering menu at each of five locations (two in St. Catharines, two in Welland, one in Fort Erie); same-day delivery over $30; active Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

Selling a portal + ops tool

Playbook

A customer-facing portal and the internal tool behind it, built together so the data is entered once.

  • Lead with whichever side hurts more today; the other side is phase two.
  • One data model means the customer sees exactly what the office sees.
Pricing: $60k to $150k across two phases. Phase one usually 10 to 14 weeks.
Objections (1)
That is a big project.
It is two small ones in a row. You see the first working before you commit to the second.
