Likelihood to Recommend	ChowNow The ChowNow platform is rock solid with daily use. It is easy to set up and train new staff. Lower pricing with competitors is the only reason for the 8 of 10 Incentivized Kent Garbers president Read full review	eTransact x Order Direct No answers on this topic
Pros	ChowNow menu updating receiving customer data adding photos to our menu submitting refunds/adjustments to customers Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	eTransact x Order Direct No answers on this topic
Cons	ChowNow Better structure of Pizza menus to ease 86 toppings The new interface could use some work. Smaller fonts make the "tickets" difficult to determine correct information. The system defaults to the last ticket time - The standard system was actually more accurate Incentivized Kent Garbers president Read full review	eTransact x Order Direct No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	ChowNow I push customers toward ChowNow instead of the references apps because of a) ChowNow has lower commission costs b) ChowNow gives customer data access c) ChowNow allows me to better issue refunds or adjustments. ChowNow however does not provide as much visibility to "new" potential customers. This is just my guess -- there are less average users on the ChowNow app on a nightly basis vs. the UberEats, DoorDash, Grubhubs of the world.
