Meet Platty: Chowly’s Culture Champion & Digital Storefront Sidekick

The Official Mascot of the Chowly Platform

Platty the Platypus represents everything that makes Chowly, and our platform, powerful, personal, and built to adapt.
At Chowly, we believe tech should be practical for restaurant operators and human at its core. Platty helps us keep that balance, supporting digital growth for independent restaurant operators and scaling culture across a remote team.

Why a Platypus?

The platypus thrives on both land and water, blending traits from different species.
Just like independent operators, it’s resourceful, efficient, and uniquely adaptable, values baked into the Chowly Platform and our team. What started as a quirky inside joke has become a daily reminder of who we are, who we serve, and how we show up.

For Independent Restaurant Operators, Platty Means:

Adaptability
Platty helps you manage every channel—from third-party delivery apps to your Google Business Profile—with ease.
Efficiency
With automated updates, dynamic pricing, and seamless integrations, Chowly simplifies your digital ops so you can focus on your food and team.
Reliability
Platty keeps things running behind the scenes so customers can find you, order from you, and come back again and again.

What Platty Means to Our Team

➡️ Culture That Scales: Platty helps unite a remote team across 20+ states. He’s a welcome gift, a Slack regular, a town hall co-host, and even appeared on Jeopardy!.

➡️ Belonging Over Perks: Instead of kombucha taps, we invest in clarity, connection, and care. Platty is a daily reminder to keep it human.
