ChowNow Alternative & Fee (For Restaurant Owners)

It depends on how many orders your restaurant process every month. You can use our calculator or this example as a formula to calculate it on your own:

Orders monthly: 1000

Average order value: $50

ChowNow fee per order: $1,99

ChowNow fee: 1000 x $1,99 = $1990

UpMenu fixed-price (unlimited orders): $169

$1990 – $169 = $1821 savings on fees every month using UpMenu ordering system.
