Are you looking for an opportunity to be a part of a team that is driving significant business results through relationship building and partner marketing?
ChowNow’s partnership program is designed to connect businesses in the restaurant space with the idea that together we can build a better, fairer solution for restaurants. We're looking for an experienced Marketing Manager to build from the ground up an innovative partner marketing program that will be central to the rapid expansion of our partner relationships and growth of our business.
About Us:
ChowNow’s mission is to be the leading North American platform connecting diners and independent restaurants for at-home dining. The ChowNow Platform continues to grow its product offerings and bring restaurants and diners closer together. Our marketplace provides commission-free ordering for restaurants nationwide and diners with an ever-growing selection of independent restaurants. Our demand network provides diners with the ability to order where they’re already online, including Google, Yelp, AppleMaps, Instagram, and many others. And our white-labeled online ordering system provides restaurants with a branded experience for diners on their website and their own iOS and Android apps for a reasonable monthly fee regardless of order volume. To date, we’ve created over 20,000 apps for our restaurant partners – something that’s never been done before in our category. We operate this way because of our belief in being fair, sustainable, and equitable with our restaurant partners and the same goes for our culture.
Diversity, teamwork, and mutual respect are among our core company values. We pride ourselves on giving our teams plenty of opportunities to make their mark.
Join us and help ensure ChowNow becomes the diner’s first choice for socially responsible online ordering. Together we can preserve neighborhood flavor, one restaurant at a time.
