TeaByDo, a publicly traded tea brand with locations across the U.S. and Canada, runs on Chowbus to make three things faster, steadier, and easier to manage: ordering, repeat business, and drink consistency. Self-order kiosks and order-ready screens keep peak-hour lines moving, a stored-value membership system with automated win-back offers turns first-time guests into regulars, and tea machines connected directly to the POS keep every cup the same no matter which store or shift made it. TeaByDo reports roughly 30% faster cup output during peak hours, a 25% lift in member repeat purchases, and about 40% less time guests spend waiting in line.
Jongro BBQ, a high-volume Korean BBQ restaurant in New York City known for its ever-present line, uses Chowbus to run the same operating system every day and simply scales it up for the holidays.
