How it Works

ChowNow is not your "traditional" online ordering system.

Get Set Up

It's simple. Send us your menu and we'll take over from there. We'll create your mobile apps, Facebook apps, and an ordering page for your web site.

Then, we'll walk you through it all, get your feedback, and get things just right.

Tell Your Customers

"Order off our Facebook page and new iPhone app!"

Congratulations, welcome to the "new order!" Why not tell the world? Update your Facebook and Twitter followers, place a message on your menu, drop a flyer into your takeout bags, place a link on your web site, promote it in your stores. We're happy to help with this.

Start Receiving Orders

Ring Ring Ring! It's not the telephone, it's better! It's your ChowNow Tablet. Tap the screen and see the order. Process the order as you normally do (key it into your POS, enter it into your cash register, write out a ticket, etc.). — just like a phone order!


How the Ordering Process Works

Customer uses your apps, views your Facebook page, or visits your website
Your customer starts by using one of your custom-built apps (Facebook, iPhone, iPad, Android), or by clicking on the "order now" button on your website.
Customer browses your menu and chooses items
Alternatively, your customer can re-order something with a few clicks. Or, they can initiate a group order.
Customer places the order - we charge their credit card
We charge the credit card and keep it on file to make future orders even faster.
Your ChowNow tablet rings and flashes
Tap the screen to see the order.
You review the order and tell the customer when it will be ready
You'll see the order in a detailed, easy-to-read breakdown. Tap a button to tell the customer when the order will be ready for pick-up or delivery.
You process the order just like a phone order
Looks good? Process it just like a phone order — enter it into your POS, write it down, yell it to the kitchen, etc.
Payment is processed
The payment is electronically transferred into your bank account.
