ChowNow upgrades ordering, marketing and operations tool suite

ChowNow announced an upgrade to its three major product suites, Ordering, Marketing and Operations, integrating online ordering, catering, QR code ordering and marketing into one operating system. The Marketing suite adds an SMS channel and supports uploading existing contact lists. ChowNow states that restaurants using QR code ordering see an average increase of 9% in average order value; a catering restaurant averaging 10 orders per month with an average order value of $360 can save more than $4,300 per year compared with a 15% platform commission.
