ChowNow overview

What is ChowNow?

ChowNow fights for the success of independent restaurants, so the value you create stays where it belongs: with you.

ChowNow combines ordering, marketing, and operations into one platform so you can grow revenue, build relationships, and run your business on your terms.

Ordering: Own every order. Keep more of what you earn.

Direct online ordering, catering, QR code ordering, and discovery channels working together to capture demand and turn it into high-margin revenue you control.

Marketing: Turn Every Order and Guest Interaction Into Repeat Revenue.

Automated Email and SMS marketing, loyalty program, and unified customer data working together to turn every diner, online and in-store, into repeat revenue.

Operation: Power Your Restaurant From One Place.

Order aggregation, centralized menu management, POS integrations, delivery and advanced reporting working together to manage all your off-premise channels from one place.

Key benefits of using ChowNow

Keep the revenue you earn — across every channel, every time: ChowNow puts the revenue back where it belongs — with commission-free online ordering, QR Code Ordering, and Catering at a fraction of marketplace rates — so every order builds your business and your bottom line.

Know Every Diner: Turn every transaction into a relationship you can build on. ChowNow helps restaurants capture diner data across every channel — online ordering, dine-in and catering — turning anonymous transactions into lasting relationships. That data powers smarter marketing, better targeting, and a customer list that grows with every order.

Build Diner Loyalty: Bring every diner back — automatically. Acquiring a new customer is expensive. Losing them after their first order is even more expensive. ChowNow’s built-in email and SMS marketing tools work automatically in the background to engage diners directly, build loyalty, and bring guests back again and again — without adding to your workload.

Power Your Restaurant From One Place: One platform. Every channel. No more chaos. ChowNow connects direct and third-party online ordering, dine-in, catering, and marketing into a single platform — with 20+ POS integrations, centralized menu management, and unified reporting. Fewer missed orders, fewer mistakes, less time managing technology, and more time running your restaurant.

What do users say about ChowNow?

Also, many of the emails we receive regarding refund requests, renewals, and other account related correspondence does not include the location in the email, so it takes me more time to reach out and inquire about which restaurant the email pertains to.
