    I would not recommend Chowly to any restaurant that is trying to push orders through to their POS from a third party delivery site. Any restaurant would be much better off finding a third party site that integrates directly with their POS. Using Chowly was more of a headache than it needed to be and our company switched to Checkmate (also not great) after a year with Chowly.

    Compeat is very well suited for large, sit down dining restaurants and can be too much for smaller scale establishments.

    Compeat
    • It is a reliable accounting system, I like the fact that all transactions are recorded and not possible to change it after it is posted.
    • Inventory is very useful and you can scan items to help with the counting.
    • DSR are pulled automatically from our POS System
    • Bank Reconciliation is pretty easily be done and the bank extract can be imported into the system, Compeat matches transaction automatically.

    Chowly was not as good as Checkmate, though I cannot in good faith recommend either. We ended up switching over to Checkmate after a year with Chowly due to our dissatisfaction with the service.

    Much better and more willing to "build" a product that works for our company.

    Return on Investment
    Chowly
    • Required a lot of attention from upper management to maintain
    • Enabled orders from Caviar to go through to the POS without staff needing to enter the orders manually, saving on time and labor
    • Due to frequent changes in our menu, Chowly could not handle these and needed to remap every single time there was a menu change.

    • It helps us keep our costs manageable, we can keep our theoretical costs within 1% of our actual costs.
    • Creating shopping lists and par levels makes purchasing less daunting and saves hours in time.
