Senior Data Scientist, Finance

ChowNow is unique among tech startups in the restaurant space.

We power branded online ordering systems for independent restaurants across North America – via websites, Google, and through branded iOS and Android apps – and we do it all for a reasonable monthly fee regardless of order volume.

We operate this way because of our belief in being fair, sustainable, and equitable with our restaurant partners.

And the same goes for our workplace.

Diversity, teamwork, and mutual respect are among our core company values.

And we pride ourselves on giving our teams plenty of opportunities to make their mark.

To date we’ve created over 16,000 apps for our restaurant partners – something that’s never been done before in our category.

And as we expand to new markets, further spreading the word about the ChowNow difference, those opportunities to create, build, and grow will only increase.

If this sounds like the kind of workplace, and the kind of mission, that appeals to you, we’d love to talk.

Together we can preserve neighborhood flavor, one restaurant at a time.
