Menuthere vs Owner.com
Owner.com builds and runs the online side of independent restaurants in the US and Canada: a website built for Google search, online ordering, a branded iOS and Android app, loyalty, automated email and text marketing, catering orders and delivery, with an optional Owner POS. It is sold through a demo and billed month to month on two plans: Flexible at $249 a month plus a 5% restaurant fee per order, or Flat Rate at $499 a month with no restaurant fee (C$349 and C$699 in Canada). On both plans guests pay a 5% order support fee on each order.
