A Chowbus Referral Partner earns a bonus for every restaurant they refer that signs up and goes live. Plus residual income on their fourth successful referral and beyond. The program is designed for anyone with connections in the restaurant industry — no restaurant ownership or technical skills required.
What is a Chowbus Referral Partner?
How much can I earn as a Chowbus Referral Partner?
You earn a $500–$3,000 one-time bonus for every restaurant that signs and goes live. On your fourth successful referral, you will also qualify to receive a residual on that account for up to 3 years — within a 12-month window of your referral. There's no cap: partners who refer a steady stream of restaurants can realistically earn $10,000+ a year.
What qualifications do I need to become a Chowbus Referral Partner?
None — there are no complex identity requirements. You'll complete a simple application and receive a 1099 for tax purposes once you start earning.
Is there a fee to become a Referral Partner?
No. Joining the Chowbus Referral Partner program is completely free — there are no hidden fees or partnership expenses.
Who is a good fit for the Chowbus Referral Partner program?
Anyone who directly knows a restaurant owner or has regular contact with restaurant owners: food and equipment distributors, POS resellers, restaurant consultants, accountants who serve restaurant clients, and other industry-connected individuals.
How does the Chowbus Referral Partner program compare to other POS companies?
Chowbus offers one of the most competitive referral structures in the POS industry — a meaningful one-time bonus combined with a multi-year residual, rather than a one-time payout alone.
How often are residuals paid?
For Referral Partners that qualify for residuals, earnings are paid monthly for referred restaurants that remain active on Chowbus for up to 3 years from the restaurant's activation date.
