Top Pcmac Reviews

Unable cancel orders, no acct history, slow customer service

By No Hot Wings For The Draft (Pcmac user)

An incredibly limited app. I placed an order and a few minutes later I realized the delivery option needed to be changed. The restaurant said to cancel and resend. Ok, that sounds easy enough... I went to the this app app to do so, but there’s a problem, I can’t find the order anywhere on the app. Poof, it’s gone, then I see the app doesn’t provide any order/acct history at all. I looked for a help interface in the app and..there is none. So I went to their website and used the chat. I wait some 10-15 min b/t the robo interface passing me off and a rep responding. Guess what the rep said “oh just cancel and re-order” How the F am I supposed to do that? Rep offers to reach out to the restaurant. Ok, let’s try it...I wait another 15-20 mins with a “only thing I can do is cancel and get a refund. Want to do that?”. So now this app wants to screw the restaurant b/c of their own incompetence in design and operations. At least this app ends the IM convo on a winning note “I am sorry you feel that way. Should you need anything else, please chat back in anytime...Have a good one!” “Have a good one”, are you serious? I felt like I was in the middle of a comically cruel scene from HBO’s Silicon Valley. I give it 2 stars since creating the initial order is fine and I haven’t had issues with amounts charged to my card. Which is like giving credit for tying your shoelaces and not drooling on yourself.
AVOID! Terrible

By TAHoover (Pcmac user)

Used this service after reading that the restaurant keeps a bit more profit, so we figured we would give it a shot. A terrible mistake. Chow Now hosts restaurants but then never takes responsibility when the restaurant acts poorly and unprofessionally. DoorDash and GrubHub take it very seriously when there is an issue with my order (which is rare) despite it not being their fault because they know how to keep customers. this app customer service rep was the least helpful and offered to do NOTHING after they couldn’t get in touch with the restaurant. I waited for my food for almost 2 hours and all the customer service rep said was “I’m sorry, the only thing I can do is try to get you a refund” after he wasn’t able to get anyone on the phone. Unprofessional. Poor service. Clearly not a smooth process like their competitors. We will not order with this app again and will stick to the delivery companies who actually appreciate customer loyalty.
Terrible Customer Service and No Added Value

By Xel234567890 (Pcmac user)

I’m honestly enraged that I can’t give negative stars as this app is a company that provides zero added value with a terrible customer service team. For a convenience company to simply confirm an order without checking with the restaurant leads to the issue of over promising and under delivering which leads down a path of a bad customer experience. To pile on top the customer service team upon following up was rude and attempts to place the sole blame on a small local restaurant. The representative I spoke with couldn’t answer any questions regarding how their process works or how to prevent this error moving forwards. I’m honestly amazed at how terrible my overall experience with this app was and will surely avoid any interactions moving forwards. I’ll be waiting for my failed order refund as I have absolutely no confidence in this company, the way they operate, the way they treat their partners or customers.
Good Local Access to Restaurants, App Needs Enhancements

By carmen2u (Pcmac user)

The restaurant selection is good and I hope it continues to expand. The map is not ideal, as it seems to approximate my location, but doesn’t quite nail my address. I wish I could just enter my address once and have that come up as my default setting. I like that the app sends an email confirmation with the restaurant’s phone number, but it only provides that option once after the order is given. If you want to check on your order and call, you refer to the email, and not the app. There should be added functionality where location details and other messages can be sent to the restaurant after the order is placed, prior to delivery.
