Chowly alternatives

Pros

• No setup fee, and a 14-day trial that starts when you go live.
• You choose your card processor (one that works with the NMI gateway), and Checkmate takes no part of the processing fees.
• Email support answered around the clock (about an hour's wait) and a 24/7 AI chat, plus phone from 8 a.m. to midnight Central.

Cons

• Monthly prices are by quote, and Checkmate doesn't publish its contract for restaurants (notice, cancellation fee, data).
• Its direct POS integration is offered to brands with 10 or more locations.
• Its direct ordering can't use the card processing built into your POS; you need a processor that works with the NMI gateway.

Pros

• If you buy directly from Deliverect, the shortest subscription is 30 days (paid in advance) and you stop the renewal with 15 days' notice.
• Its terms of service are public and say how renewal, notice and price changes work.
• Integrates with Toast, Square, Clover, SpotOn and Lightspeed, and dispatches deliveries through DoorDash Drive and Uber Direct.

Cons

• Every price is by quote, and restaurants with 1 or 2 locations can only buy it through a reseller.
• Deliverect can raise its fees with 30 days' notice, billing starts when it creates your subscription, and prepaid fees aren't refunded.
• Accepting its terms lets Deliverect list you on direct-to-consumer channels where your customers pay it a service fee (amount not published); you opt out through support.
