ChowNow

ChowNow is an online food ordering system and marketing platform helping restaurants feed their hungry customers.

History

ChowNow was founded in 2011 by Chris Webb and Eric Jaffe. The company's mission is to provide an alternative to third-party delivery apps that can take a large percentage of a restaurant's profits. ChowNow allows restaurants to take orders through their own websites, social media pages, and customized apps.

Services

ChowNow provides a variety of services to restaurants, including online ordering, digital marketing, and customer relationship management. The platform integrates with restaurant websites and social media pages, allowing customers to place orders directly from these platforms. ChowNow also provides a branded mobile app for each restaurant, which customers can use to place orders.

Business Model

ChowNow operates on a subscription business model. Restaurants pay a monthly fee to use the platform, and in return, they receive access to ChowNow's suite of services. Unlike other online ordering platforms, ChowNow does not charge restaurants a commission on each order. Instead, the company makes money from the monthly subscription fees paid by restaurants.

Reception

ChowNow has been well received by both restaurants and customers. Restaurants appreciate the platform's commission-free model, which allows them to keep more of their profits. Customers enjoy the convenience of being able to order from their favorite restaurants through a variety of platforms.
