Our story

Built for the independents.

WOWAPPS exists to champion independent restaurateurs with an effective, easy-to-use alternative to commission-based products and aggregators. Australian-owned, built in-house, on your side of the counter.

Three beliefs that guide the company

We believe a venue should own its customers.

Aggregators can take up to 30% of an independent venue's income and keep the relationship for themselves. The Book and Order buttons, the list and the data should belong to the venue.

We believe in one fee, not a percentage.

A percentage grows with your success and punishes it. One monthly fee per venue, whatever the volume, with no lock-in.

We believe in building it ourselves.

Bookings, ordering, delivery, the app, the website, Lois. Built in-house for Australian hospitality, supported on Australian hours, by people without suits.

Our values

  • No lock-in contracts. Stay because it works.
  • No commissions. Ever, on orders or bookings.
  • Partnerships. Official Reserve and Order with Google partner. Integrated with the POS systems venues run.
  • No suits. Plain words, real people.
  • Effective tech. If it does not fill a table or take an order, it does not ship.

What venues tell us · in their words

“We chose WOWAPPS for the simple-to-use Bookings engine and the integration between online bookings and our POS system. We never imagined the shoutouts and push notifications would have such a huge impact. We see a 25-30% increase in orders on the days we shout out a daily special.”

“The biggest factor is that it's easy for the customers as well as us. You lose people all the time because they don't understand how the system works. The fact it is so easy for them definitely brings in so many new customers.”
Dannielle KingElixiba Herbal Alchemy Bar & Restaurant
“94% of our cashflow has come through online ordering in the past few weeks. Our customers are really appreciating the ease of ordering online.”
