FAQs

ChowNow customers can take unlimited commission-free orders directly from their website, branded mobile app, our marketplace app, and discovery channels across the web with Profit Protector enabled.

ChowNow orders integrate with leading POS systems including Toast, Square, Revel, Clover, and more.

We offer full credit card fraud and chargeback protection, without any limits. If your restaurant is subject to fraud, we cover the costs and work with the credit card company. Similarly, if you get a chargeback, we cover it—no questions asked—and communicate with the card company.

Your diners, your data. Restaurants get full access to diner ordering data and contact information to turn first-timers into loyal fans. With your ChowNow database, you’ll be able to:

  • Retarget diners with automated emails
  • Identify your most valuable customers
  • Pinpoint your most popular ordering channels
  • Optimize your menu for upsells

We comply with all data processing laws, do not sell data to third-parties, and keep everyone’s information secure.

You pay a flat monthly subscription and a standard card processing fee — no per-order cut to a marketplace, no percentage taken off the top. The $16K average savings figure is based on a 22% commission rate from typical third-party apps.

It doesn’t have to. Most of our operators keep third-party apps for discovery and use ChowNow to shift repeat diners to their own channels. Order Aggregation pulls every channel into a single dashboard so nothing falls through.

Most restaurants are live in a few days. Your onboarding team handles POS integration, menu build, and launch. You get a dedicated Restaurant Success Manager as your single point of contact.

Yes. You own 100% of diner contact and ordering data captured on every order. You can use it inside ChowNow’s built-in marketing tools, or export it whenever you want.
