Alternatives
Owner alternatives, ranked by what a month costs
What Owner's public pages show, then Appetier and every priced alternative at the same order volume. Each figure comes from a public source.
What Owner publishes
Owner's pricing page lists two plans. Flexible is $249 a month plus a 5% restaurant fee on each order. Flat Rate is $499 a month with no per-order fee.
Guests pay a 5% order support fee on both plans, which Owner says covers fulfillment and customer service. Payments run through Owner's processors, and its participation agreement keeps 5% of gift card sales.
Owner fits a restaurant that wants an AI-built website with marketing attached. Two lines are worth setting beside any alternative: what you pay while direct orders are still building, and the fee on the guest's receipt. Appetier Growth has no commission and no guest fee. A month under $500 in direct sales costs nothing, and the fee stops at $199. POS and kiosk come with Growth, and your guests' details stay yours.
One month at each company, lowest cost first
A month at 40 orders a day and a $30 average order, card processing included. Each company is on its cheapest plan at that volume.

All in adds card processing at the company's published rate. A company that publishes none gets 2.9% + 30¢, the online rate on Appetier Pay.
Each company starts on its lowest-cost plan at your volume, and you can switch plans. One-time setup, hardware, and delivery costs are left out.
Popmenu sells online ordering as an add-on with no public price, so its total is a minimum.
