Your 3 Most Important Digital Doors
These are the foundational elements of a profitable digital storefront. Operators who optimize these touchpoints first see the fastest, most sustainable growth in direct orders and profit margin.
How to Optimize Your First-Party Ordering System
This is where your profit lives.
Every direct order placed through your system means fewer fees to third parties, more control, and stronger guest loyalty. With the Chowly Platform, your guests get a fast, easy ordering experience—and you keep the margin.
Benefits:
- Commission-free orders
- Menu control and custom upsells
- Faster, more consistent guest experience
Results: Up to an 88% increase in first-party digital sales.
Platty’s Pro Tip: If your order flow annoys you, it’s 10x worse for your guests.
What Makes a High-Converting Restaurant Website
Your site is your digital front-of-house.
It’s where direct orders begin—and where guests decide if they’ll stay. With the Chowly Platform, your site stays accurate automatically with real-time syncs from your POS and listings.
Benefits:
- Mobile-first designh
- Built-in ordering and location info
- Auto-updated menus and specials
Platty’s Pro Tip: Check your site on your phone. Would you order from you?
Why Google Business Profiles Drive More Order
Google is your biggest door for discovery.
Outdated hours, old photos, or missing links drive customers away. The Chowly Platform keeps your profile fresh, synced, and optimized for search.
Benefits:
- Higher rankings in local search
- Accurate listings, synced automatically
- Reviews and photos managed in one place
Platty’s Pop Quiz: When’s the last time you updated your photos on Google?
Return on Time (ROT): Profitability’s Most Overlooked Metric
Independent operators don’t have time to waste.
The Chowly Platform eliminates repetitive tasks, automates low-impact busywork, and connects tools so you’re not toggling between tabs or fixing errors manually.
Examples of ROT in Action:
- Auto-sync menus and hours across Google, Yelp, and your website
- Connect third-party and first-party orders to your POS
- Streamline re-engagement with automated marketing
Platty’s Pro Tip: Spend one hour today to save 20 tomorrow.
