About the Company

ChowNow

Centralizes first- and third-party online orders

ChowNow builds online ordering platforms for independent restaurants. Its system connects orders from a restaurant’s own website, Facebook, Google, and ChowNow’s site into a single dashboard so owners don’t need multiple devices. It processes both first-party orders (directly from the restaurant) and third-party orders (from partners) in one place. Unlike many rivals, ChowNow does not charge commissions on orders; instead it earns revenue from subscription plans and service charges. It mainly serves small to mid-sized independent restaurants, helping them simplify ordering and improve the customer experience. Its goal is to provide a cost-effective, centralized online ordering solution that reduces fees and makes it easier for restaurants to manage orders.
