Toronto web design company scammers!
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 1 votes
Company information:
MenuPalace.com
Toronto, Ontario
Canada
www.MenuPalace.com

I own a restaurant in the Toronto area, it is doing ok, but we wanted to go online to get additional exposure, so June of 2007, we Contacted MenuPalace.com a Toronto based company they do advertising for the restaurant industry and build websites as well. we looked at the portfolio they had and contacted them to get a quote, they had a few different options we picked the $3200 package, gave them a cheque for %50 and postdated one for 45 days later and the remaining for 75 days after first payment, we were told that the website were going to be up even before the last payment was due. Now we are in March of 2008 and I have still no Websiteand they have $3200 of my money. I have been going back and forth with the people there, first I was told that everything was done inhouse, then I found out they are outsourcing to Russia and India. They claim they are the best when it come to website design for restaurants - and they have the best Restaurant directory in Toronto and North America, but they are nothing but scammers. I have now involved my Lawyer to get my money back, he said that the research shows they are several in the same boat as me. SO take this as a warning to never buy from this "Best Restaurant Web Design" .

I'm in charge of multiple restaurant properties in Toronto and I'm kicking myself for not doing my due diligence with menupalace.com and their restaurant or hospitality web designs. The designs are barely ok but we lost a substantial marketing oppportunity due to the typical menupalace.com arrogant behaviour regarding timeframes. These guys think that the world revolves around them. I had to threaten our solicitor to get any action out of them. I over paid (my fault) but boy did they under deliver!

Anyhow "caveat emptor" as the old latin expression goes.

Wow, I cannot agree more with the above statement, I also went to menupalace.com to get a site done for my restaurants, I own several of them around the city so I needed a multiple concepts done, the sales guy was great and sold it to me very well, but that was it, never heard from him again. After a year of waiting I have had enough of them. let me know if anyone else out there have had the same issue post it here. we need to stop this now..

I was pretty surprised to read these comments. I have had 3 websites done by this company and have never had any problems. I also market my restaurants on menupalace and get very very good results.

I also have a restaurant in Toronto, and these guys designed my website too. It took them 2 months to design it, but the end result is very very nice. Beat my expectations for sure.

I also advertise on menupalace now, and I have to say, it is the best advertising dollars I have ever spent. I get a lot of business from their website.

Do I ever agree with the first statement, they are the worst company to deal with a bunh of idiots, sorry I am sooo upset, I should have done my research before dealing with them.. I just did a search for MenuPalace.com scam, and MenuPalace.com spam.. And wow they have people all over the web pissed off at them, including me, they have $4500 of my money, I had a site done.. good job, took 8 months.. that right 8 months, but the end result was ok.. Anyway, then they tell me to advertise this site on their directory.. What a joke, i am spending $350 evey month and getting nothing for it.. They are not even in my top 10 on the statistics I get every week.. Then I tried to cancel, and they threatened me with lawsuit and collections and I would be put out of business.. my ass out of business.. I have dealt with worse guys than these small time losers.

DONT EVER DEAL WITH THEM.. MENUPALACE.COM SCAM.

I own a small restaurant in Little Italy, and I have to say that marketing it on menupalace is the best marketing money I ever spent. They are always my number 1 or number 2 refferer in terms of traffic to my website. And when I ask customer how they found my restaurant, at least once a day I hear menupalace.

They also made my website, and they did it quickly, and the end result is a very nice website.

I am so happy I doid my research before buying a website from Menupalace.com. I was speaking with one of their sales guys, and he told me, they would be able to design a custom website in less than a month, when I called MenuPalace.com back to book the custom website design they are advertising, and told the salesguy, that it should be stated in the contract that the site would be done with in tat time frame - he then continued to tell me they have so many customers, and they had numerous testimonial from happy clients, so I called a few of their web customers, and let me tell you. People are not happy. They called scam artists, and all Menupalace.com are looking for is the signature on the paper, after that they dont keep their side of the bargain.

Anyway, I didnt wanted to write this as a complaint but more as a headsup for all of you who are looking for a good website design company. If you know of someone good, let me know, I am still looking to have a site done.

All the best,

Chuck

Menupalace is by far the most professional advertising company I have ever dealt with. I have 4 restaurants in the GTA and menupalace designed the websites and advertises the websites. I am very happy with the web design. They completed everything on time. Now I am getting a lot of business from the marketing.
