ChowNow alternative for restaurants
Thousands of independent restaurants use Owner.com instead of ChowNow to increase online sales, simplify their online presence all-in-one, customize their branding, offer points-based loyalty, and avoid needing to pay 10% fees on Google orders.

What makes Owner the
better choice?
We believe that ChowNow is wrong to not help the restaurants with their website and not let restaurants custom brand their online ordering system. We think it’s unfair to charge the restaurant 10% fees for orders through Google.
Branded mobile app + points based loyalty
We believe that restaurants having their points-based loyalty program is important to incentivize them to order directly through them instead of on third party apps.
Our numbers also show that having a branded mobile app can increase sales massively. Menufy doesn't offer either.
Biggest reasons to migrate
Save on commission fees
When orders flow through ChowNow’s Google integration, they charge the restaurant a 10% fee on those transactions. With Owner, we never charge the restaurant a fee per transaction –– ensuring you get to keep all of the revenue you drive.
Reward your customers for ordering
Like Starbucks, Domino’s, SweetGreen, and the other most successful restaurant operators in the world – Owner lets your restaurant have a points-based loyalty program built-in. ChowNow charges your customers an extra monthly fee to use loyalty, which we think
is ridiculous.Protect your restaurant’s brand.
Keep your colors, your branding, and your domain rather than having a generic experience where you send website visitors to ChowNow.com without the ability to customize your online experience.
