Why we built this

We're not Groupon. On purpose.

Most deal sites take a huge cut, lock merchants into terms they didn't write, and burn customers on vouchers that expire before they're used. We rebuilt the whole thing the way Canadian small businesses asked us to.

Old-school daily deals

  • ✕Merchants forced into deep discounts they can't afford
  • ✕Up to 50% commission on every sale, forever
  • ✕One-size-fits-all terms set by the platform
  • ✕Customers feel cheap. Businesses feel used.

The Mocagem way

  • ✓Merchants set the deal, the discount, and the dates. Not the platform.
  • ✓Real deals on your schedule — never stuck with 12-month vouchers
  • ✓Canadian-owned, KWC-first, transparent terms
  • ✓Customers feel like locals. Businesses feel respected.
  Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge first

Built block by block.

We're starting where we live — the Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge tri-cities — before we go anywhere else. Every deal is from a business you could walk to.

Our compass

“Is it community building?”

It's the question we ask before every decision. If the answer is yes — for the business owner, for the customer, for the neighbourhood — we ship it. Mocagem's return on investment is measured in patios that fill up, regulars that come back, and money that stays in KWC.

Our community strategy

Three promises. One question.

Every Mocagem decision answers to one filter — is it community building? Here's what that question turns into for the three sides of this marketplace.

Fill your empty seats. On your terms.

You set the deal. You set the dates. You keep more of the revenue. We just bring you the neighbours who already wanted to walk in — they just needed a reason.

  • You set the deal, the dates, and the terms. Never the platform.
  • No contract. No minimum. No lock-in. Cancel any time.
  • Cap availability so you never get slammed by more bookings than you can serve.
  • Hands-on support from your assigned local KWC ambassador — not a faceless help desk.

Common questions

The honest answers.

How is Mocagem different from Groupon or WagJag?
Three big ways. First, the merchant sets the deal, the discount, and the dates — not us. Second, deals are real and timely — savings come from filling actual openings, not from forcing a business into a deep voucher discount that hurts them for a year. Third, we're Canadian-owned and starting in Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge — every business on Mocagem is one your neighbours actually go to.
Where does Mocagem operate today?
We're live across the KWC tri-cities — Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge — plus the surrounding Region of Waterloo. We'll grow from here when KWC is ready.
Are the deals real? Or are prices marked up first?
Real. We require merchants to honour their stated original price and only list deals that reflect actual openings or unsold capacity. If a deal ever feels off, reach out — we'll look into it.
I run a KWC business — how do I get listed?
Head to mocagem.com/vendor and fill out the short onboarding form. You'll hear back from our team within a business day or two, and we'll walk you through setting up your first listing if you'd like a hand.
