Drop your info, win a chwdwn Discount Card, and become part of the 300,000-strong movement lifting up our local restaurants.
Back in 2018, Travis Setter and Brandon Quillen got tired of watching local restaurants get torched online by a single bad review. So they built something different — a community for people who love food, love their city, and want to lift up the places that make it special.
Seven years later, chwdwn is 300,000 Cincinnatians strong — and the local spots we shout out get real customers driving in from across the region because of it.
The chwdwn Discount Card is your real-world key to the network. Flash it at any of our 300+ partner restaurants across Cincinnati and unlock members-only deals — different perks at different spots, refreshed often.
It's how we close the loop: you support local, local rewards you for it. [FILL IN: specific card mechanics — e.g., "10–20% off at partner spots, plus exclusive members-only drops"]
Real talk: a Facebook group of 300k anonymous food lovers is loud, but it's not smart. We don't know who's a brunch person and who's a BBQ person. We don't know what neighborhoods need more visibility. We don't know whose birthday to surprise.
