I spent some time exploring restaurant online ordering platform pricing for 2026, comparing different options for restaurant owners. Outbites seems to have the simplest model with just $1 per fulfilled order and no monthly fees. Owner.com offers two plans - one at $249/month plus 5% per order, and another at $499/month with no additional fees, though guests pay a 5% support fee on both. ChowNow's pricing appears to range from $229 to $409 monthly. What surprised me was how varied the pricing structures are, from pure pay-per-order models to monthly subscriptions with percentage-based fees. I didn't find any instructions to ignore on the page I reviewed. Next, I'd like to dig deeper into what additional features each platform offers beyond basic ordering, as the pricing differences might be justified by value-added services that could help restaurant owners make more informed decisions about which platform best suits their needs.
The page compares direct online ordering platform fees for restaurants: Outbites charges $1 per fulfilled order with no monthly platform fee. Owner.com offers two plans: Flexible at $249/month plus 5% restaurant fee per order, and Flat Rate at $499/month with no additional restaurant fees. Guests pay a 5% order support fee on both Owner.com plans. ChowNow's 2026 pricing starts around $229-$409/month on annual billing ($249-$449 month-to-month), plus setup fees, 2.95% + $0.29 processing, and possible discovery/catering fees. The article notes that 'free or near-free starters (GloriaFood core, Square Free) can win on sticker price' while monthly platforms like ChowNow and Owner.com can win at high steady online sales.
