Owner.com alternative for UK restaurants
No setup fee. No commission. From £19 a month.
Owner.com is a fast-growing North American platform. Its pricing page lists an AI-optimised website, online ordering, a branded mobile app, automated SEO pages, marketing and loyalty, and its case studies feature US restaurants. If you're a UK takeaway that's seen its adverts or case studies, the first question isn't features. It's whether the product is set up for the UK.
Disclosure: Chefzi wrote this page and is one of the options. Owner.com facts come from owner.com/pricing, checked 19 October 2026.
Owner.com's published pricing
| Plan | Price | What Owner.com says |
|---|---|---|
| Flexible | $249/month + 5% restaurant fee per order | "Lower subscription with a small per-order fee. Your costs scale with your sales." |
| Flat Rate | $499/month, no additional restaurant fees | "Best for restaurants at $5k+/mo in online sales." |
The page says you "pay month-to-month with no long-term contracts", and the currency selector offers USD and CAD. We found no GBP pricing.
Questions a UK owner should ask Owner.com
Owner.com may be able to answer these. We're not suggesting the answers are no, only that you should check:
- Do you onboard UK restaurants, and which legal entity would I contract with?
- What would I be billed in? Dollar pricing means your monthly cost moves with the exchange rate, and your bank may charge a fee.
- Card payments: which UK payment methods and payout timings are supported?
- VAT: how is VAT handled on the subscription and on orders?
- UK-specific needs: allergen information, UK postcode delivery zones and UK support hours.

Its pricing page lists a Flexible plan at $249 a month plus a 5% restaurant fee per order, and a Flat Rate plan at $499 a month with no additional restaurant fees, month to month with no long-term contract.
What are UK alternatives to Owner.com?
UK-priced options include Chefzi (£19 a month for cash or no-card payments, or £29 a month with online card payments through Stripe after three free months, 0% commission), Storekit (from £0 a month plus a flat per-order rate), Flipdish (website package from £49 a month billed annually, as shown on flipdish.com on 19 October 2026; the point-of-sale page shows from £119 a month billed annually, £139 monthly, ex.

Does Chefzi do restaurant SEO like Owner.com?
Chefzi generates a fast, editable website from your menu and gives you one ordering link for Google and social media. It doesn't sell an automated SEO-pages service like the one Owner.com lists.
Do I need a branded app?
Not necessarily. Many takeaway customers order once or twice a month and won't download an app. A fast mobile ordering page works on any phone. If your regulars order weekly and loyalty matters, an app can help, and Owner.com, Flipdish and Storekit offer one.
