Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Integration takes a lot of manual work away from the stores. No worries about uploading images or changing hours, I just modify it in the POS and all my online sites update.
  • We have Chowly integrated with 5 of our restaurants, and the setup with third party platforms has always been easy, and most importantly, the service works. The team is always helpful and responsive when any matters arise.
  • Reduces human error when orders flow through POS direct through Chowly. Reduces need for staff to monitor tablets to key in orders. Works seamlessly in the background to improve overall execution of business operations. Aaron is an incredible account manager.
  • Set up was simple for the printer integration and easy to manage through tools. Spinning up new VR's at our location was quick utilizing Chowly as they had connections with the third parties and helped me onboard additional partners.
  • I didn't see a single pro while using this application. they were just the worst. Help yourself and stay away.

Cons

  • I wish they could just run an online ordering site for me. Grubhub and DoorDash are great but I am tired of hiring yet another vendor for my own website.
  • My only feedback / wish was that Chowly had a billing portal to monitor invoices and submit payments - however my last discussion I was told that their team is currently working on this!
  • Menu changes created hiccups in menu templates UNLESS Aaron had his hands in our account.
  • Tools like menu editor had poor UI like they were build for internal use only. No full dashboard which would be helpful using the printer integration.
  • Wish 0 star existed for this business. They mess up your online menus and platforms which is already a hard thing to keep up as a food business owner. THEN they never actually allow you to cancel. Before the cancelation request, they always answer your calls etc but when it's after the cancelation request no one but literally no one answers you. Like WTF? I don't even know how such a company is still in business. This shouldn't be allowed at all.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Takes the hassle of setting up and maintaining Apps and online ordering Site. They also offer a multitude of marketing packages and alternate ordering platforms for customer convenience.
  • - Low commission - Full control of the site, menu and settings - Ease of use - Good support - Customers details can be easily obtained to contact them
  • Best for customer service.
  • A good platform to order food online. Payment is prompt. A good first step for online orders. Customers who use it seem to like it.
  • Customer service. Easy and fast way for customers to order. Accept all kind of payments. Fare commission.

Cons

  • Sometimes a bit lacking on the maintenance and updating of the Sites. They charge Cash customers the same processing fee as credit on top of the commission from the restaurant partner.
  • - Unable to control specials and promotions - Can’t press ‘ on its way’ - Must do your own promotion - Hard to get customers to move to the FlipDish site from other platforms - Must pay for Apple app. Set up - Account managers can be very helpful or not helpful at all.
  • N/A.
  • High turnover of staff. This makes it hard to build a working relationship.
  • Some discount options that I need for my restaurant but it is not something negative from Flipdish as it is very complicated from my side with specific days and times of the day who need to be changed automatically.
