There are two methods for sending restaurants our way.

1. Share your affiliate link with either a specific person or a wider audience. You can find your affiliate link in your Partnerstack dashboard. When someone clicks your link and then fills out a “Schedule a Demo” form on the linked page on get.chownow.com, they’ll be automatically associated with you. See how to find your link within Parterstack in this video.

2. Submit a lead. Within your Partnerstack dashboard, you also have the option to manually send us a lead. Just go to your “Referrals” tab and enter the restaurateur’s information. Learn more about lead submission here.

You’ll be able to track your contact’s journey within your Partnerstack dashboard. This is the standard sales and onboarding process for ChowNow clients:

• A lead is created once you submit a referral or your contact fills out a form on get.chownow.com using your affiliate link.
• If the lead is a good fit, it’s marked as qualified.
• If the sale progresses, the lead turns into an opportunity.
• If the sale is successful, the opportunity is closed-won.
• Then, the account goes into onboarding. The onboarding process typically takes three to four weeks, but it can vary significantly depending on how responsive the restaurant is during the process.
• After onboarding is completed, the restaurant’s online ordering launches!
