Storekit vs ChowNow
ChowNow is a good online ordering platform. Storekit is a better fit for you
Storekit suits operators who want branded direct ordering on a flat monthly plan and a dedicated GloriaFood migration path. ChowNow is a US-focused platform with a marketplace network and a strong reseller programme - a fair fit for some, not for others.

When Storekit is the right call
- You are migrating from GloriaFood before April 2027 and want a dedicated importer - menu, guests, zones, and promotions in one reviewed pass.
- You want a flat monthly plan with a per-order rate and no commission, rather than a percentage of every basket.
- You operate in the UK or Europe - Storekit's support, integrations, and payment rails are built for this side of the Atlantic, where ChowNow's network is US-centred.
- You need takeaway, pay-at-table, and dine-in QR ordering on one stack.
- You want founders on the escalation path when something breaks on a Saturday night.
Switching from ChowNow
Who is ChowNow actually right for?
US restaurants and chains that benefit from its marketplace network, and US agencies drawn to its reseller programme. If that's you and your trade is stateside, it deserves a place on your shortlist alongside us.
How long does switching from ChowNow take?
Most restaurants go live in about a week once we have menu access. Multi-site setups can take longer - your concierge will give you a dated plan at kickoff.
Will I lose my guest data when I switch?
No. Export your guest database, menu, and order history from GloriaFood while exports still work, and the importer brings them across. You review the diff before anything goes live.
What does it cost to switch?
No setup fee. Basic is free, plus a flat per-order rate that comes down as you move up the bands.
Is Storekit available in my market?
Storekit's GloriaFood migration programme covers the UK, US, Canada, and Australia. If you're elsewhere, talk to us before deciding - we'll tell you honestly whether we fit.
