Online ordering & delivery
Chowbus
Cloud POS with built-in low-commission online ordering, strong for Asian and independent restaurants.
What it does
Chowbus began as an Asian-food delivery marketplace and is now a cloud POS and online ordering platform for independent restaurants. It bundles commission-light direct online ordering, loyalty, QR table ordering, and delivery-marketplace integration, with cuisine-specific tooling like multilingual menus and hot pot / all-you-can-eat controls.
Best for
Independent and Asian-cuisine restaurants wanting an all-in-one POS with cheap direct online ordering.
AI features
Partial. Chowbus markets AI-powered advertising tools and an AI assistant it calls an AI digital worker, and has leaned into AI messaging in recent launches. Much of the day-to-day value is POS plus built-in online ordering and loyalty rather than deep AI, so treat the AI claims as emerging add-ons.
Pricing
Plans publicly listed from roughly $49/month, plus about 5% + 30 cents per online order, with hardware and size affecting the total; confirm with vendor.
Pricing signals are indicative and change often. Confirm current pricing with the vendor.
