ChowNow
Chose ChowNow
Slice appears to be a lower cost and quite popular in our industry (Pizza) however their tactics to acquire new business are questionable at best!
Chose 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" …
DoorDash
Chose DoorDash
uber eats does not have the vast variety of deliveries that door dash has.

ChowNow is very well suited for restaurants and cafes. Its a very strong competitor to "3rd party apps" like UberEats, DoorDash, grubhub, etc. so if you use any of those -- look into ChowNow. It may be less appropriate for fine dining establishments were timing (of delivery driver; or customer pickups) is extremely important to preserve food quality.

i like using doordash for work to be able to provide goods for my employees while not having to actually leave work to go pick them up. I have used it for things like ordering food for a group of employees or even when I have needed tools from a supported doordash store, they have delivered those items so I did not have to wait for them to get shipped out to my work

Cons
  • 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

  • a better tracking system so you know when the delivery is going to take place.
  • a better way to let the drivers know when food is going to be done so they dont have to wait at the location for the order to be filled.
  • more deals
