To be fair
ChowNow has been taking restaurant orders for years and has live payments, delivery and branded apps today. If you need those now, it’s the more established choice.
Y3ll0 is newer, and live payments, delivery and a branded app are on what’s coming. Pilot restaurants help decide what we build first.
