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.

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.

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.
