John and Sam

Sam and John grew up in the pizza business, and created the world famous Metro Pizza over 35 years ago. They are consistently ranked as being a top 10 pizzeria in the United States,

Headed into 2023, they felt like they were falling behind digitally.

Why they switched to Owner

Guest experience

The most important question to John and Sam is: what’s best for our guest? They felt they needed to make it easier for regulars to order takeout from them.

Losing Money

DoorDash and UberEats were growing rapidly, which meant they were losing over $40,000 per month in delivery fees.

No sales increases

Their previous online ordering system ChowNow wasn’t helping proactively increase their sales.

State of the art experience that guests LOVE

In just 4 months, they’ve received 100 5-Star Reviews directly from their new online system and have earned a 4.9/5.0 star satisfaction rating from guests using the system.

2

Branded mobile app

Metro Pizza now has its own branded app, and it’s a hit among regulars. Over 4,000 of her customers downloaded it within 90 days of launching it, and it has become the primary way people order takeout from them. They love how much faster the experience is, taking just a few seconds to order instead of minutes.

3

Hybrid delivery

They now have the flexibility to use a combination of their own in-house drivers and third-party delivery drivers. If one of their drivers calls in sick, they can use third-party delivery drivers for direct orders within seconds –– making sure customers are never left waiting.
