Storekit vs ChowNow

ChowNow is a good online ordering platform. Storekit is a better fit for your brand

Storekit suits operators who want branded direct ordering on a flat monthly plan with UK-based support. ChowNow is a US-focused platform with a marketplace network and a strong reseller programme - a fair fit for some, not for others.

When Storekit is the right call

  • You want a flat monthly plan with a per-order rate and no commission, rather than a percentage of every basket.
  • You operate in the UK or Europe - Storekit's support, integrations, and payment rails are built for this side of the Atlantic, where ChowNow's network is US-centred.
  • You need takeaway, pay-at-table, and dine-in QR ordering on one stack.
  • You want founders on the escalation path when something breaks on a Saturday night.

Switching from ChowNow

  • Who is ChowNow actually right for?

    US restaurants and chains that benefit from its marketplace network, and US agencies drawn to its reseller programme. If that's you and your trade is stateside, it deserves a place on your shortlist alongside us.

  • How long does switching from ChowNow take?

    Most restaurants go live in about a week once we have menu access. Multi-site setups can take longer - your concierge will give you a dated plan at kickoff.

  • Will I lose my guest data when I switch?

    We import what ChowNow lets you export - typically menu, zones, and guest lists where available. You review the diff before anything goes live.

  • What does it cost to switch?

    No setup fee. Basic is free, plus a flat per-order rate that comes down as you move up the bands.

  • Is Storekit available in my market?

    Storekit is available in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia. If you're elsewhere, talk to us before deciding - we'll tell you honestly whether we fit.
