ChowNow
Commission-free branded online ordering for restaurants
Overview
ChowNow provides branded online ordering websites and apps for independent restaurants, positioned as an alternative to commission-heavy third-party delivery marketplaces. Restaurants keep their own branding and customer data rather than routing orders through a marketplace app.
Pros and cons
What we like
- Restaurant keeps its own branding and direct customer relationship instead of a marketplace's
- Positioned against high-commission third-party delivery apps
- Focused product built specifically around restaurant online ordering
Watch out for
- Pricing page was blocked by bot protection this session (TLS handshake failure on fetch); plan pricing was not verified directly
- Single-purpose tool; needs a separate POS and reservations tool alongside it
