ChowNow Alternative for Restaurants in Asia
If you're evaluating ChowNow alternatives for your restaurant, you're likely dealing with the challenges of managing multiple delivery platforms, high commission fees, or limited international reach. While ChowNow has established itself in the US market, restaurants in Asia face different realities—multiple delivery aggregators, diverse payment systems, and operations spanning several countries.
Klikit offers a comprehensive alternative designed specifically for the Asian market, combining order aggregation, payment processing, and restaurant management in one platform—at a fraction of the cost.
Why Restaurants Are Switching to Klikit
Here's how Klikit compares to ChowNow as your restaurant's operating system:
1. True Multi-Platform Order Aggregation
ChowNow: Primarily US-focused with limited delivery partner integrations outside North America.
Klikit: Aggregates orders from GrabFood, Gojek, Uber Eats, Foodpanda, Delivery Hero, and local platforms across Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan. One tablet, all your orders.
2. Built-In Payment Processing
ChowNow: Requires third-party payment integrations with separate contracts and fees.
Klikit: Integrated payment processing with Stripe, Xendit, and local payment methods. Take payments in-store, online, and via QR—with competitive transaction rates.
3. Commission-Free Ordering (In Region)
ChowNow: Offers commission-free direct ordering but charges for their platform.
Klikit: Zero commissions on first-party orders (online store, QR ordering). Plus, you get customer data ownership for loyalty programs and marketing.
4. Full Restaurant Management Suite
ChowNow: Focuses on ordering and marketing.
Klikit: Complete POS, inventory management, staff scheduling, customer CRM, and analytics—all in one dashboard.
5. Local Support & Localization
ChowNow: US-based support with English-language only.
Klikit: Local support teams across Asia, multi-language menu management, and compliance with local regulations (e-invoicing in Malaysia, Taiwan receipt regulations).
