    Chowly
    I would not recommend Chowly to any restaurant that is trying to push orders through to their POS from a third party delivery site. Any restaurant would be much better off finding a third party site that integrates directly with their POS. Using Chowly was more of a headache than it needed to be and our company switched to Checkmate (also not great) after a year with Chowly.

    Cons
    Chowly
    • Promises of ways to avoid mapping errors were never followed through on
    • Many mapping errors which required constant attention
    • To use requires multiple hidden modifiers in Toast, clogging up the menu

    Chowly was not as good as Checkmate, though I cannot in good faith recommend either. We ended up switching over to Checkmate after a year with Chowly due to our dissatisfaction with the service.

    Return on Investment
    Chowly
    • Required a lot of attention from upper management to maintain
    • Enabled orders from Caviar to go through to the POS without staff needing to enter the orders manually, saving on time and labor
    • Due to frequent changes in our menu, Chowly could not handle these and needed to remap every single time there was a menu change.
