Owner.com Alternative
The all-in-one Owner.com alternative
Keep Owner.com's 0% marketplace commission, but get a full cloud EPOS, QR e-menu and loyalty in one plan instead of an ordering-and-marketing layer that still needs a separate POS.
The catch with Owner.com
Commission-free ordering, but it's a marketing layer, not your whole system
Owner.com genuinely avoids the 15-30% commission that marketplaces take, and it gives you a branded website and native iOS/Android apps you own. But it is online-ordering and marketing software, not a point of sale: it has no EPOS of its own and instead integrates with Square, Clover and (via Otter) Toast, so you still need and pay for a separate POS for tableside ordering, KDS and inventory. And "commission-free" isn't free, the cheaper $249/month Flex plan adds a 5% restaurant fee per order, both plans pass a 5% order support fee to your guests, and implementation runs around $1,000, while app design customization is deliberately limited.
Owner.com pricing
Owner.com charges no marketplace commission but runs on monthly subscriptions, a $249/month Flex plan that adds a 5% restaurant fee per order, or a $499/month Flat-Rate plan with no per-order fee, plus a 5% guest-facing order support fee on every direct order on both plans and a roughly $1,000 one-time implementation cost.

Questions & Answers
Is Owner.com really commission-free, and what does it cost? +
Owner.com charges 0% marketplace-style commission, which is its core advantage over apps like DoorDash or Grubhub. But it isn't free: it runs on monthly subscriptions, $249/month on the Flex plan, which also adds a 5% restaurant fee per order, or $499/month on the Flat-Rate plan with no per-order fee. On both plans your guests pay a 5% order support fee, and implementation typically costs around $1,000. RestApp is also 0% commission and bundles your website, native iOS/Android apps, cloud EPOS, e-menu and loyalty into simple monthly plans, with no per-order restaurant fee and no guest-facing order support fee.
Does Owner.com include a point-of-sale (EPOS) like RestApp? +
No. Owner.com is online-ordering and marketing software, not a POS, it integrates with Square and Clover natively and connects to Toast via Otter, so you still need and pay for a separate point-of-sale system to run your front counter, tableside ordering, kitchen display and inventory. RestApp includes a full cloud EPOS alongside online ordering, so your in-store and online orders, KDS and stock all live in one system you only pay for once.
Do I own my customers and their data with Owner.com? +
Yes. That's a genuine strength: orders come through your own branded website and apps rather than a third-party marketplace, so you keep the customer relationship and can market to diners by email and SMS. RestApp is the same on this point, you own your customer data and have a direct relationship with every diner, with no marketplace sitting in between, and you also get the EPOS, e-menu/QR ordering and loyalty in the same platform.
Why would I switch from Owner.com to RestApp? +
If you like Owner.com's commission-free direct ordering and want to keep it, RestApp gives you the same 0% commission but adds a built-in cloud EPOS, QR e-menu/table ordering, loyalty, KDS and inventory, so you don't need a separate POS subscription alongside it. You also avoid the 5% per-order restaurant fee on the cheaper plan, the 5% guest-facing order support fee, and the ~$1,000 implementation charge, and you get your own branded website and native iOS/Android apps plus 24/7 support on one simple monthly plan.
