Town vs Owner.com
Both promise low-fee ordering. The difference: Town is fully custom and a fraction of the monthly cost, with a path to 0% commission.
One flat fee: one flat monthly price with 0% commission. Everything included, no contract.
Pricing varies by plan, often a monthly subscription, tiered add-ons, or a limited free tier.
The problem
A template, a monthly bill, and a site you don't own.
Owner.com puts you on a shared template, bills you every month, and keeps you renting, so the site, the app and your customers never really become yours.
- 🎨 A shared template that looks like every other Owner.com restaurant
- 💸 Monthly fees for features often split across pricey tiers
- 🔒 You don't own it, leave and the site and data can go with them
- 🙉 You still do the work, loading menus and running the tools yourself

Custom vs template
A fraction of the monthly cost for a site that’s fully custom, not a shared template.
One flat monthly price with 0% commission, no matter your volume.
You own the site, the app and the customer relationship.
The math most owners miss
Say Owner.com runs about $500 a month. That’s roughly $6,000 a year for a site you don’t own, on a template shared with other restaurants. Town is one flat monthly price at 0% commission for a fully custom site you keep, usually less per month, plus the ordering, delivery, loyalty and listings bundled in. Run your real numbers side by side before you renew.
