Owner.com alternative without the 5% fee on your customers
Nomback is an Owner.com alternative with no per-order fee on the restaurant or the customer. Owner.com costs $249 a month plus 5% of every order, or $499 a month flat, and on both plans guests pay a 5% order support fee. Nomback is $99 a month and $399 setup for your own app, with nothing added to the customer's bill.
How it works
- We build your app, and a website too if you want one ($129 a month for both).
- Customers order and pay in the app at your prices, with no extra fee added.
- Your stamp card, memberships and push deals bring them back without paying anyone a cut.

What it costs at $10,000 a month in online sales
| You pay | Your customers pay on top | |
|---|---|---|
| Owner.com Flexible | $749 ($249 + $500) | $500 |
| Owner.com Flat Rate | $499 | $500 |
| Nomback app | $99 | $0 |
Card processing is extra on all of them. That guest fee matters more than it looks: a regular who pays $1.50 extra on a $30 order notices, and it's the regular you're trying to keep.
Where Owner.com is stronger
Owner.com is built around a marketing website with SEO, automated emails and texts, and a team that runs them. If you want a hands-off marketing engine and don't mind the fees, that's what you're paying for. Nomback is the leaner choice: your app, your stamp card, memberships and the QR bag card that moves DoorDash regulars over.
