Florida Restaurant Show Recap: Empowering Independent Operators

Exhibitor Appreciation Happy Hour

We kicked off the Florida Restaurant Show with a welcome happy hour at The Pub Orlando. A true British Pub experience complete with brilliant food, drink and genuine hospitality.
The night before the show was all about excitement as we reunited with teammates—both new and old—and looked forward to connecting with independent restaurant operators to network and share valuable insights.

Booth 272: Mirror of Opportunity

During Days 1 and 2 at Booth 272, our team showcased how Chowly’s platform empowers independent operators to envision a future with more time and increased profits. A highlight was our interactive mirror, where attendees could stop by and take photos, reflecting their potential success.

Team members Aaron, Irina, Alex, and Elena were present, dressed to impress and eager to connect with operators. We engaged in meaningful discussions about the need for a singular platform that efficiently manages essential off-premise tasks. Many operators expressed their frustrations with juggling a fragmented tech stack, which complicates their operations.
We also hosted a giveaway at our booth, and we’re excited to congratulate Brian Glynn, Co-Owner of Village Idiot Pizza Franchise Systems, for winning a pair of 4th Gen AirPods with noise-canceling features! We know these will come in handy in the bustling restaurant environment.
