Chowbus

Chowbus is a technology company based in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 2016 by Linxin Wen and Suyu Zhang. Initially, it focused on providing an online food ordering, payment, and delivery platform for authentic Asian cuisine, serving over 20 cities across North America, Canada, and Australia. The platform featured group ordering, scheduled deliveries, and real-time tracking to enhance the customer experience. In 2022, Chowbus shifted its focus to developing Software as a Service (SaaS) and Point of Sale (POS) systems for restaurants. This transition was solidified by the sale of its food delivery service in January 2024.
