ChowNow is an online ordering system for restaurants that gives busy restaurant owners everything they need to grow their business and their bottom line. Since 2011, ChowNow's restaurant experts have partnered with more than 22,000 independent restaurants. ChowNow fights for the success of independent restaurants, so the value you create stays where it belongs: with you. Every diner you serve, every order you fulfill, every experience you deliver — that’s value you created. But too often, third-party platforms take a cut of it, own the customer relationship, and leave you starting from zero every time. From online ordering and catering to dine-in and automated marketing, ChowNow connects everything into one unified platform so you can grow your business and your bottom line. Ordering Suite: Own every order. Keep more of what you earn. Direct online ordering, catering, QR code ordering, and discovery channels working together to capture demand and turn it into high-margin revenue you control. Marketing Suite: Turn Every Order and Guest Interaction Into Repeat Revenue. Automated Email and SMS marketing, loyalty program, and unified customer data working together to turn every diner, online and in-store, into repeat revenue. Operations Suite: Power Your Restaurant From One Place. Order aggregation, centralized menu management, POS integrations, delivery and advanced reporting working together to manage all your off-premise channels from one place. You have big plans for your restaurant. ChowNow is the partner to get you there. * * * Seller [ChowNow](https://www.g2.com/sellers/chownow) Discussions [ChowNow for Restaurants Community](https://www.g2.com/products/chownow-for-restaurants/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Emma Liburdi Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by ChowNow for Restaurants. ### ChowNow Launch, Annual Plan $229.00 Per Month ### ChowNow Grow, Annual Plan $319.00 Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/chownow-for-restaurants/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Owner.com](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Owner.com") Owner.com 4.8/5(415) ](https://www.g2.com/products/owner-com/reviews) [ ![Uber Eats for Merchants](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Uber Eats for Merchants") Uber Eats for Merchants 4/5(184) ](https://www.g2.com/products/uber-eats-for-merchants/reviews) [ ![GrubHub for Restaurants](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "GrubHub for Restaurants") GrubHub for Restaurants 4.1/5(62) ](https://www.g2.com/products/grubhub-for-restaurants/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/chownow-for-restaurants/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 73 real user reviews.
