SinglePlatform Alternatives for Menu Listings & Online Ordering

What happened to SinglePlatform?

SinglePlatform launched in 2010 as a service that published a restaurant's menu, hours, and business details across listing sites. Tripadvisor acquired SinglePlatform in December 2019 from Endurance International Group, and in 2020 folded its technology into Tripadvisor's Menu Connect product for syndicating menus and business information across sites like Tripadvisor, Google, and Yelp.

As of July 2026, singleplatform.com redirects to Tripadvisor's restaurant business pages, which no longer mention SinglePlatform or Menu Connect by name — the standalone product is no longer marketed. Restaurants that relied on it for menu visibility now need a current home for that job, and most also want the next step: turning the people who find the menu into direct orders.

To be precise about what has and has not happened: there is no announced shutdown. Tripadvisor has never published an end-of-life date for SinglePlatform, and its support and login portals still resolve as of July 2026. What has changed is quieter — the product is no longer promoted, sold, or mentioned by name on the pages its own domain now points to.

5. ChowNow — gives independent restaurants commission-free ordering through their own website, with a branded mobile app available.

Can Chowly do what SinglePlatform did?

Yes — and the part SinglePlatform never did. SinglePlatform pushed your menu out to listing sites so people could find it. Chowly keeps your menu accurate everywhere it lives — your own site, Google Business Profile, and the 3rd-party marketplaces — from one dashboard, synced with your POS so price and item changes propagate instead of drifting.

Then it closes the gap between being found and getting paid: branded online ordering with 0% commission on direct orders, managed Google Ads tracked to confirmed POS orders, and review management that protects the rating your listings show. Getting found was SinglePlatform's job; getting ordered is Chowly's.

What replaces each SinglePlatform feature?

The straight mapping: SinglePlatform's core job was pushing your menu, hours, and business details out to Google, Tripadvisor, Yelp, and other listing sites. On the Chowly Platform that job splits into three pieces, each of which goes further than one-way syndication did. Google Business Profile management covers the listing that matters most — the one on Google itself — with a GBP Agent keeping hours, menus, and business details accurate and optimized around the clock.

A restaurant marketing website replaces the published menu page with a home you own, built to rank in search and AI answers and to convert menu-seekers into direct orders. And 3rd-party marketplace integration keeps menus and prices in sync across the delivery marketplaces straight from your POS, so the listings diners actually order from never drift out of date.
