FoodChow vs Restolabs

FoodChow provides restaurants with online ordering, POS, and marketing tools across Android, iOS, web, and Windows. Customers can order through a restaurant website, table QR ordering, pickup, delivery, or mobile apps. Menus can include photos, modifiers, combos, allergen details, scheduled availability, sold-out controls, tips, fees, and taxes. The ordering flow supports cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay; FoodChow says restaurants pay only the card fee on orders through its system. Orders from ordering channels can appear together on a kitchen display with timing and customer text updates. Email marketing includes win-back offers, seasonal announcements, birthday and first-order emails, and send reporting. WhatsApp tools include auto-replies, broadcast promotions, and order notifications. Listed plans include two $300, paid once lifetime options and a Growth Plan at $600 as a one-time purchase; listed plan details include a 1.8% per-order charge. Restaurants retain ownership of menu, branding, and customer data and can export data when cancelling. The terms say subscription fees depend on the selected plan and customers can cancel at any time.
