Our story

Great Times Start With Great Local Spots

Chugachew began with a simple idea: the best places are the ones locals actually love — and they shouldn't be so hard to find. So we built an app that surfaces the best locally owned spots near you, in real time.

The mission

Discover more. Miss less.

From mouth-watering food reviews to live crowd levels and exclusive deals, Chugachew connects locals with the locally owned spots worth their time. We show you what's hot right now, where your friends are, and how to save when you get there — so every outing is an easy yes.
