3) Select “Channel Visibility” from the menu on the left side.

5) For a menu that you are displaying on multiple ordering platforms, just make sure that “ChowNow” is selected as a Online ordering partner.

Repeat for every menu you want to be displayed on ChowNow.

If you offer Flex or In-House Delivery on ChowNow, the delivery hours will match the “Takeout & Third-party delivery” settings found on the Toast Dashboard. To confirm or change these settings, follow these steps:

1) Navigate to Toast’s Takeout & Delivery settings page.
2) You can adjust times by clicking on the pencil icon next to each day.
3) And turn off online ordering and delivery for select days by clicking the toggle button.

Please note: These settings will alter both pickup and delivery times for all of your online ordering services.

4) Click “Publish all changes”

Adding Photos
Photos added to menu items on the Toast Dashboard will be displayed on your ChowNow menu.

If you don’t see photos on your ChowNow menu, confirm that the menu item has a photo uploaded on the Toast side.
