Venezia’s, like many other restaurant companies, was experiencing two main frustrations with the third-party online ordering sites:
Chowly Inc, a Chicago-based tech company with a service that bridges the gap between third-party online ordering sites and the point of sale, offered an instant solution. The Chowly app grabs the orders coming in from any number of third-party sites, and delivers them directly to the POS.
It only took five days to get Venezia’s up and running with Chowly in their five Phoenix area locations, and Montanile’s managers were “jumping up and down” with excitement. Checking the emails and various tablets supplied by three third party sites—DoorDash, Eat24, and GrubHub— had been time consuming for managers and employees, taking them away from other tasks.
Many restaurants have been experiencing similar issues to Venezia’s as the popularity (and number) of third-party ordering sites continues to grow.
Chowly can send orders straight to the SpeedLine POS from more than 100 third-party online ordering and restaurant aggregator sites, such as UberEats, Eat24, and Grubhub.
We spoke with Alex Cranfill, an account executive with the company, about how Chowly's partnership has benefitted current and prospective SpeedLine clients. “We provide an immediate solution to a growing concern for businesses, and can have that solution implemented in a matter of hours. With a streamlined process, restaurants can convert bottlenecks into gains in overall production and efficiency, a real slam dunk when working on tight margins.”
