What it is
Chowly is a paid restaurant platform for independent restaurants that combines direct ordering, point-of-sale connections, delivery channels, and marketing services. Its branded ordering runs on a restaurant’s own website, with 0% commission stated for direct orders. Orders enter connected POS systems, menus synchronize across channels in real time, and unavailable POS items are removed from delivery apps. Chowly lists more than 50 native POS integrations and connections to over 150 delivery apps. Direct ordering supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, saved order history, loyalty points, and email capture. Marketing tools cover restaurant websites, local SEO, Google Business Profile management, Google Ads, email marketing, loyalty, and customer surveys. Branded Android and iOS apps add push notifications and loyalty features. Access is available on Android, iOS, and web. Pricing is on request, with per-location fees, a setup fee, and a $35 monthly minimum per location unless otherwise specified.
