I really like the simplicity and focus of their idea. Even the smart folks here on HN were suggesting they get into POS systems, online ordering and restaurant reviews. I'm glad they didn't take everyone's advice.
Now to dispense some advice (oh irony!):
The "Pro" pricing is too low - $45 / mo for a restaurant chain with over 10 locations is a rounding error. Restaurant chains of that size are probably spending over $100,000 per year on advertising.
I'm sure the pricing tiers will morph as the product develops anyway - number of locations doesn't seem like the best sole differentiator.
Good luck to ChompStack, I hope it succeeds.

- stevenwei 16y agoThanks for the advice! That original thread provided us with tons of much appreciated feedback. Right now we're focused solely on mobile websites as it's a big pain point for most consumers that is largely unaddressed by most restaurants. Agreed on the pricing tiers. I'm not totally happy with it at the moment, and I think it's something we'll have to adjust over time.
