Halal dining, worth more.
Halal Food Pass is a halal food search and restaurant discovery platform for Canada, built and run by RULE8 INC. We catalogue halal restaurants whether or not they work with us commercially, with live opening hours, cuisines, neighbourhoods and each restaurant’s own halal information. The platform is funded by an optional product rather than by commissions on your bill or by selling data.
Where this came from
We started in 2026 with a simple frustration: coupon apps are noisy, delivery apps take a big cut from the restaurants they claim to help, and neither is built around halal dining. So we built something different: a search engine for halal food, with an optional member offer programme for diners who want to save up to 20% at participating halal restaurants. Restaurants join free, keep every dollar of the bill, and control their own offer, the days, the times, the terms, pausing or changing it whenever they like.
Real numbers, counted live
Startups love big claims. We’d rather show you the actual size of the network, computed from the live directory at the moment you loaded this page, not typed into a marketing page months ago:
The network right now
These numbers come straight from the live directory on every load, nobody types them in. If a restaurant leaves, the number drops the same minute.
We’re early, and we’re fine with you seeing that. Every restaurant, every offer and every schedule is public before you pay anything, judge the value for yourself first.
About the listings
Restaurant owners can claim their listing free from its own page to keep details current, and every listing carries a "report an issue" link so corrections reach us quickly. Being listed never requires publishing a member offer: directory records and commercial participation are separate by design, and the live counts above never change based on who participates.
What we are, and what we are not
Halal Food Pass is a halal food search and restaurant discovery platform for Canada. We are not a coupon site, a delivery app, or a halal certification authority. Most restaurants we list don't pay us and don't publish a member offer, they are listed because a directory is only useful if it is complete. Each restaurant provides its own halal information, which we display as given, exactly how that works is documented on our halal information page.
How we make money
One way, and only one: membership fees. Restaurants pay us nothing, no commission, no hardware, no cut of your bill. We don’t run ads, and we don’t sell or rent your personal information, that’s in writing in our privacy policy, alongside the short list of processors we use (Stripe for payments, Cloudflare for hosting). The math is simple: if the card doesn’t save you more than it costs, we don’t deserve the fee, and with no card on file you can simply stop.
Our promises, with receipts.
Nothing to cancel
Your first month is free and needs no card, so there is nothing to cancel, access simply stops unless you choose to continue. If you do decide to pay, you keep access to the end of the period you paid for, no lock-in, no retention maze. See pricing.
Payments by Stripe
Your card is processed by Stripe, the same payment platform used by millions of businesses. We never store your card details, see the privacy policy.
A human answers
Write to us and a person replies, usually within one business day. No ticket black hole. Try it: contact us.
One card covers the table
When the member is present, the restaurant’s offer can cover up to 6 people on the same bill (subject to each restaurant’s terms), details in the FAQ.
No ghost restaurants
Live means live: paused or expired offers never show as usable, and closed restaurants drop out automatically.
Where the halal information comes from
Every restaurant provides its own halal details, certification, sourcing, and whether the whole menu or part of it is halal, and we publish them as given, with a clear disclosure badge whenever only part of a menu is halal. We don’t certify halal, and we won’t pretend to. If anything on a listing looks wrong, “report incorrect listing info” is a first-class topic on our contact form, and corrections ship fast. The full policy lives on the halal information page.
Proof, not promises
You don’t have to take any of this on faith. The live directory shows every restaurant, offer and schedule before you pay a cent. We publish dated, verified guides and correct them in public, Mississauga deals (updated monthly), halal food near UTM, Ridgeway Plaza, and a year-round Ramadan planner. And verified college and university students get the membership free, and can earn up to a year of bonus months by inviting classmates, through the student program.
