What CHEWZI is

CHEWZI comes from a family that has spent four generations in hospitality — upscale hotel management and an executive role at Holiday Inn, thirty-five years in hotel operations and corporate Food & Beverage with Sheraton, and fifteen years as an executive chef. The fourth generation brought the technology.

There are plenty of ways to find a restaurant. Finding what you actually want to eat is harder than it should be. So CHEWZI publishes the full menu, with prices, and lets you search by the dish.

We repeat what a restaurant publishes. We do not invent an hour, a price, a dietary marking or a special. Where a restaurant publishes nothing, we say so instead of guessing. It is free, there is no account, and we take no commission from any restaurant, ever.
