Published figures are taken from owner.com/pricing as it read in July 2026. Where Owner does not publish a number, the row says so explicitly rather than guessing.

Cost item Amount Detail + attribution
Flexible plan $249/mo + 5% per order Owner.com's lower-priced plan: $249 per month plus a 5% restaurant fee on every order. Published on owner.com/pricing.
Flat Rate plan $499/mo No additional restaurant fees per order. Owner.com positions this plan as best for restaurants doing $5,000+ per month in online sales. Published on owner.com/pricing.
Guest order support fee 5% of the order On both plans, guests pay a 5% order support fee at checkout that Owner says covers fulfillment and customer service. Paid by the diner, not the restaurant, but it raises the checkout total on every direct order. Published on owner.com/pricing.
Setup / onboarding fee Not published Owner.com does not publish a setup or onboarding fee. The pricing page describes setup and migration with a dedicated specialist as part of both plans but states no price for it.
Payment processing Not published Owner.com does not publish credit-card processing rates on its pricing page. Ask for the processing schedule in writing before signing, since processing sits on every single order.
Delivery cost ~$7 per delivery (reported) Owner.com does not publish delivery pricing on its pricing page. Sauce (getsauce.com) reports approximately $7 per delivery passed through to the restaurant at cost, with no markup, via third-party driver networks.
Contract terms Month-to-month No long-term contracts; Owner states you can pay month to month and cancel at any time. Published on owner.com/pricing.

Owner.com adjusts plan structure over time; the figures above reflect the pricing page as accessed in July 2026. Restaurants should confirm current terms, any one-time costs, and the payment-processing schedule directly with Owner.com before signing.

What the money buys

What's included in both Owner.com plans.

Per owner.com/pricing, both the Flexible and Flat Rate plans include the full platform — the plans differ on how you pay, not on what you get.

AI-optimized website

A branded restaurant website Owner builds and hosts, with online ordering embedded.

Online ordering + branded mobile app

Direct pickup and delivery ordering on the restaurant's own site plus a branded iOS/Android app.

Automated SEO pages

Location and menu pages generated for search visibility.

Loyalty / rewards program

Points-style rewards for repeat direct orders.

AI-powered marketing

Automated email and text campaigns to the restaurant's own customer list.

Direct catering orders

Catering order intake through the same direct channel.

Setup, migration + chargeback protection

A dedicated specialist handles the switch; chargeback protection and 24/7 support are included on both plans.

The real math

A restaurant doing $8,000/month in direct orders.

Simple arithmetic on Owner.com's published rates. Payment processing is excluded because Owner does not publish it.

Flexible · $249 + 5%
$649/mo
$249 base + 5% × $8,000 = $400 in per-order fees. $7,788 over a year.
Flat Rate · $499 flat
$499/mo
No per-order restaurant fee. $5,988 over a year — $1,800/year less than Flexible at this volume.

The crossover sits at $5,000 per month in online sales: at that volume the Flexible plan's 5% per-order fee equals $250, exactly the $250 gap between the two base prices. Below $5,000/month, Flexible is cheaper; above it, every additional dollar of direct volume makes the Flexible plan more expensive than Flat Rate. That matches Owner's own guidance, which recommends the Flat Rate plan for restaurants doing $5,000+ per month online.

There is a second, easy-to-miss line in the math: the guest side. On both Owner plans the diner pays a 5% order support fee at checkout — $1.50 on a $30 order, $3.00 on a $60 catering-sized ticket, $5.00 on a $100 order. The restaurant does not pay that fee, but the diner sees it on every single direct order, and because it is a percentage it grows with the ticket. When you model whether diners will move from the marketplaces to your direct channel, the checkout total they see is part of the equation.

The alternative structure

How Zay-OS pricing differs.

Same $499 headline as Owner's Flat Rate plan. The structural differences are where the money actually moves.

No commission plan at any tier

Zay-OS is $499 Operator, $599 Operator + Marketplace, or $699 Concierge per location per month (Concierge includes up to 5 virtual brands per kitchen). There is no lower tier that takes a percentage of your orders — the restaurant keeps 100% of food revenue and tips on every plan. Owner's $249 Flexible plan takes 5% of every order.

Flat diner fee, not a percentage

The Zay-OS diner-paid service fee is flat: $0.99 pickup, $2.99 delivery, $0 dine-in (10% on catering). Owner's guest fee is 5% of the ticket. On a $30 pickup order the diner pays $0.99 with Zay-OS vs $1.50 with Owner; on a $100 delivery order, $2.99 vs $5.00. Flat fees do not punish bigger tickets.

No setup fee, published in the open

Zay-OS charges no setup fee, and the whole fee schedule — tiers, diner fee, everything — is published on the /pricing page. Owner does not publish a setup fee or processing rates, so you have to ask. Both platforms are month-to-month with no long-term contract.

Marketplace ingestion is in the bundle

At $599, Otter pulls Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub orders into the same kitchen tablet as your direct orders — one screen, one ticket flow, while the marketplaces' 15-30% base commission (25-35% blended real cost) keeps getting displaced by direct volume. Owner is direct-ordering-first; marketplace tablets stay separate.

Straight answers

Owner.com cost questions, answered.

How much does Owner.com cost per month?
Per Owner.com's published pricing page (accessed July 2026), Owner.com costs $249 per month plus a 5% restaurant fee on every order on the Flexible plan, or $499 per month with no additional restaurant fees on the Flat Rate plan. On both plans, guests also pay a 5% order support fee at checkout. Owner positions the $499 Flat Rate plan as the better value once a restaurant does more than about $5,000 per month in online sales.
Does Owner.com charge a setup or onboarding fee?
Owner.com does not publish a setup or onboarding fee. Its pricing page describes setup and migration with a dedicated specialist as part of both plans but does not state a price for it. If you are evaluating Owner, ask for any one-time costs in writing. For comparison, Zay-OS charges no setup fee on any tier.
Who pays Owner.com's 5% order support fee?
The guest pays it. On both Owner.com plans, a 5% order support fee is added to the diner's checkout total on every direct order; Owner says it covers fulfillment and customer service. Because it is a percentage, it scales with the ticket: $1.50 on a $30 order, $5.00 on a $100 order. Zay-OS uses a flat diner-paid fee instead — $0.99 pickup, $2.99 delivery, $0 dine-in — so the fee does not grow with the ticket.
Does Owner.com require an annual contract?
No. Per its published pricing page, Owner.com is month-to-month with no long-term contracts, and restaurants can cancel at any time. Zay-OS is also month-to-month, so on contract terms the two are equivalent — the cost differences live in the per-order fees, the diner-fee structure, and what each bundle includes.
How does Owner.com's cost compare to Zay-OS?
The headline is the same: Owner's Flat Rate plan and Zay-OS Operator are both $499 per month. The differences: Zay-OS has no commission plan at any tier (Owner's $249 Flexible plan takes 5% of every order), the Zay-OS diner fee is flat ($0.99 pickup, $2.99 delivery, $0 dine-in, 10% on catering) rather than 5% of the ticket, there is no setup fee, and the $599 Operator + Marketplace tier adds Otter ingestion so Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub orders land on the same kitchen tablet as direct orders. Concierge is $699 with up to 5 virtual brands per kitchen.
