By default, ChowNow provides you with an ordering widget that can be embedded into your web page. If you do not have a website, you either require one or they might provide you with a blank website. CloudWaitress solves this by giving you a dedicated online ordering website instead of an ordering widget. This means:
Doesn't require an existing website
If you do have a website, just link to the ordering site, no complex integration needed
Adapts to all screen sizes to make use of all the space available
Contact form integrated for customers to contact you
