FAQ's

Which restaurants should choose ChowNow?

ChowNow is an app like DoorDash and Uber Eats that people use to order food. The big difference is that ChowNow doesn’t charge commissions on online orders. Instead, there’s a flat fee for each delivery ChowNow handles.

ChowNow lets you create a restaurant website and connect your menu to other sites like Yelp, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor, making it easier for customers to find you. It also has basic tools to send marketing emails to your customers automatically.

However, when Google visitors try to order, ChowNow sends them to the ChowNow app, which isn’t good for your website’s Google ranking. ChowNow also doesn’t have a way to send text messages to customers.

ChowNow is smaller than apps like DoorDash or Uber Eats, and how many customers use it depends on where your restaurant is located.

Which restaurants should choose Uber Eats?

Uber Eats helps you reach customers who use its food delivery app. It’s the second most popular delivery app in the US, with about 23% of the market. Many restaurants use Uber Eats along with another platform for taking direct online orders.

Uber Eats charges a commission of 15% to 30% for deliveries, similar to DoorDash. Some restaurant owners say Uber Eats is easier to use, especially for restaurants that are new to third-party delivery apps, because it has user-friendly tools for businesses.

However, like other third-party delivery services, Uber Eats’s fees make it hard for restaurants to make a big profit on orders. Uber Eats doesn’t help rebuild your website to attract new customers through Google. It also doesn’t give you full control over customer data, which makes it harder to market directly to your customers.
