ChowNow is very well suited for restaurants and cafes. Its a very strong competitor to "3rd party apps" like UberEats, DoorDash, grubhub, etc. so if you use any of those -- look into ChowNow. It may be less appropriate for fine dining establishments were timing (of delivery driver; or customer pickups) is extremely important to preserve food quality.

I would only recommend if GH is fully integrated with your POS, and if you can negotiate a good rate with them. If you have other third-party delivery options, you should shop around and see if they can match or lower their rate.

Cons
  • Better structure of Pizza menus to ease 86 toppings
  • The new interface could use some work. Smaller fonts make the "tickets" difficult to determine correct information. The system defaults to the last ticket time - The standard system was actually more accurate

Alternatives Considered
Slice appears to be a lower cost and quite popular in our industry (Pizza) however their tactics to acquire new business are questionable at best!

  • We needed to add delivery during the pandemic with fewer people working out of their offices and needing delivery, so this did boost sales
  • Delivery as a service built directly into our app
  • GH integrates into Toast POS and this saves labor
