Owner.com alternatives for restaurants in 2026
The main Owner.com alternatives are Nomback ($99 a month), UpMenu ($49 to $169 plus $49 for an app), ChowNow ($229 to $249 and up), GloriaFood (free for website ordering), Menufy ($149 to $179) and Square for Restaurants ($0 to $149). Owner.com charges $249 a month plus a 5% restaurant fee on each order on its Flexible plan, or $499 a month on Flat Rate, and guests pay a 5% order support fee on both plans. Owner.com includes a lot: website, app, loyalty, automated SEO pages and marketing. Restaurants that mainly want a branded app with a stamp card, and no fee on the customer, can pay much less. Prices are from each company's pricing page, October 2026.
How much does Owner.com cost?

What does Owner.com include that cheaper options may not?
Owner.com lists an AI website, automated SEO pages, email and text marketing, catering orders, chargeback protection and 24/7 support on all plans. A restaurant that wants all of that may find the price fair. One that mainly wants regulars ordering direct with a stamp card is paying for extras it may not use.
The guest fee is the part most comparisons miss
The reason to order direct instead of through DoorDash is that it should be cheaper for the customer. A 5% fee on the customer's total takes part of that away. Nomback charges the restaurant $99 a month flat and adds nothing to the customer. See where the money goes on a $40 order.
