What it is
Chowly is a paid restaurant platform for direct online ordering, point-of-sale connections, delivery channels, and marketing. Its branded ordering runs on a restaurant’s own website, and the company states that direct orders carry 0% commission. Orders flow into connected POS systems; menus sync across channels in real time, and items marked unavailable in the POS are removed from delivery apps. Chowly says it has more than 50 native POS integrations, including Toast, Square, SpotOn, Clover, Aloha, Revel, and NCR, and connects more than 150 delivery apps, including DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Direct ordering supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, saved order history, loyalty points, and email capture. Marketing features include restaurant websites, local SEO, Google Business Profile management, Google Ads, email marketing, loyalty, and customer surveys. Branded iOS and Android apps include push notifications and loyalty features. Chowly is available on web, iOS, and Android. Pricing is shared during a demo and varies by location count and selected agents. Terms describe a one-time setup fee and monthly charge per location, with a $35 monthly minimum per location unless otherwise specified.
