While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Company details

  1. Software Company

Written by the company

Chow Local is a commission-free food delivery app and online ordering system for restaurants. Big food delivery apps charge restaurants as much as 30% in commissions (on top of delivery fees), every time you order. Popular restaurants can end up paying thousands of dollars in commissions every month, while barely turning a profit. We believe, when you repeatedly order from the places you love, it's because you crave their food, not because of the big delivery app's marketing efforts. Shouldn't restaurant owners reap the rewards, instead of the big delivery apps?

The service is very inconsistent

The service is very inconsistent. Sometimes a driver gets the message immediately and sometimes, like this time, no driver get the message and my order is just sitting at the restaurant getting cold. I won't be using this service anymore because it is costly and inconsistent.

If there was a chance to give negative…

If there was a chance to give negative starts I would. Was very unprofessional. Ordered at 1pm so it would be on time for my 2pm luch break. Called the restaurant at 1:30 they said my order had been ready and they were waiting for the driver when I contacted chow local they blamed the restaurant and said the restaurant had not requested a drive so I called the restaurant to ask for a refund and they gave it to me but send valid proof that they had requested a driver and a driver had infact accepted the order. The driver never got the restaurant to get my food and they kept blaming the restaurant m. Kept calling them and they declined all my calls it was straight declining not even letting it go to voice mail. Very in unprofessional and dumb

Daphne I am the person you spoke to. I answered the phone right when you called the first time and then chatted to you. I'm sorry for the frustration you are feeling. As mentioned when we chatted, your order was refunded in full by the restaurant. We'll do better next time.

Support of restaurant

it’s hard to support all of the restaurants when the delivery fee is so high compared to either in house or other platforms it delivers across regina should not be 20$

Thanks for the feedback Alissa. I agree. Delivery accross town should not cost you $20, but ultimately it depends on the delivery's driving distance. According to our rates if you are paying $20 for delivery, it means you are 24km away, which is pretty far. If you can provide me with an order number, I'm happy to take a closer look.

PS. Thanks for posting our first review on Trustpilot. Woot Woot!
