Hey everyone! We gearing up to launch Chow Local in Saskatoon in the coming days.
We already have a few local restaurants onboard. Once we get 10 restaurants signed up we'll officially launch.
This will be our official FB page for Saskatoon. Please "like" our page, to get notified when we go live. As we get more restaurants onboard we'll update everyone here.
Chow Local is a commission-free food delivery app.
My brother and I created this platform at the end of 2021 to offer restaurants in our community an alternative to the big food delivery apps like SKIP, UberEats, and Doordash.
The big apps charge restaurants as much as 30% in commissions every time you order food.
Popular restaurants can end up paying thousands of dollars in commissions every month, while barely turning a profit.
We believe, when you repeatedly order from the places you love, it's because you crave their food, not because of the big delivery app's marketing efforts.
Shouldn't restaurant owners reap the rewards, instead of the big delivery apps?
Call us crazy, but we think so!
Here's a story our local paper wrote about us after we launched in Regina https://leaderpost.com/news/local-news/chow-local-serving-up-ethical-food-delivery-app-to-regina
In the last year, our drivers have completed thousands of deliveries in our hometown, and our platform has saved the restaurants on Chow Local - Regina hundreds of thousands of dollars. And we're just getting started!
Over the next days and weeks, we'll try to sign up a few more restaurants in Saskatoon.
As mentioned above, we need 10 local restaurants to sign up before we can feasibly launch.
In the meantime, please let us know which restaurants you love to order from in Saskatoon so that we can reach out to them next. Please tag them in the comments.
Or, go to https://secure.chowlocal.com/invite-restaurant to invite your favourite local restaurant to check us out.
We're also looking for a few more delivery drivers in Saskatoon.
Our drivers earn 100% of the delivery fee and tip customers pay. We don't take a cut. To learn more, or to apply to drive for us, please visit https://secure.chowlocal.com/drivers-wanted
