Owner.com, quickly

How much does Owner.com cost?

$249 or $499 a month.

The Flex plan is $249 a month plus a 5% fee on each order; the Flat plan is $499 with no restaurant fee, in US dollars. On both, guests pay a 5% order support fee.

Does Owner.com have a contract?

No, it’s month to month.

Plans renew each month with no cancellation fee. Its agreement says to email Owner before your renewal date to avoid the next month’s charge.

Who builds an Owner.com website?

Owner’s team, from its own design.

You get its proven layout with your branding, and Owner says it isn’t the right fit if you want a lot of design freedom. Many sites go live within a week or two.

Do you own your Owner.com website?

Your domain and content, yes. The site, no.

Owner points your domain at the new site, and the domain stays yours. The designs, code and software stay Owner’s, and the site has to show Owner’s name, logo and a link.

Is Owner.com built for food trucks?

It’s built for restaurants that sell online.

Every plan bundles a website, online ordering, a branded app and marketing aimed at direct orders. Talkin’ Tacos, a customer it profiles, began as a small food truck.

Owner.com FAQ

Is Owner.com legit?

Yes. Owner.com, Inc. is a restaurant software company in Palo Alto, California, that says it has helped 10,000 independent restaurants since 2020. Independent reviews are thin: five on an unclaimed Trustpilot profile, four of them one-star, and we found no BBB profile.

How much does Owner.com cost?

Owner.com’s Flex plan is $249 a month plus a 5% restaurant fee on each order, and its Flat plan is $499 a month with no restaurant fee, in US dollars. On both plans guests pay a 5% order support fee, and Owner charges you a delivery fee on orders its delivery partners carry.

Can I cancel Owner.com anytime?

Yes. Owner.com is month to month with no cancellation fee. Its restaurant agreement says to email Owner before your renewal date to avoid the next month’s charge, and to return any tablets or printers Owner loaned you.

Do I own my Owner.com website?

Your domain and your menus and other content stay yours. The designs, code and software behind the site belong to Owner, and while you use it the site has to show Owner’s name, logo and a link to Owner. When you leave, you stop using the platform.

Is Happy Websites a good Owner.com alternative?

If you mainly need a website, yes: Happy Websites is $99 or $199 a month with no fees on orders, designed and written around your truck, and it’s yours if you leave. Owner.com includes online ordering, a branded app and marketing automation, which we don’t sell, so if most of your sales come through online orders, weigh those against its fees.
