Online ordering and marketing platform ChowNow now integrates with the Yelp Transaction Platform to allow restaurants to take orders directly from their Yelp business page.

"Thus far, ChowNow has primarily focused on driving repeat business by helping independent restaurant owners cultivate a loyal customer base," said ChowNow CEO Chris Webb in a company press release. "By partnering with Yelp, we are offering our clients a dynamic way to attract new customers by incorporating the element of discovery. We want to inspire users to find and try new restaurants, with the goal of growing each restaurant's business."

Orders generated through Yelp's mobile application and website will appear on the ChowNow tablet that currently sits beside the restaurant's POS and alerts staff to new orders. From their ChowNow dashboard, restaurant owners will also be able to distinguish Yelp orders from others, and update their menu themselves. This feature is now available to all new and existing ChowNow clients.
