Owner.com: owner.com/pricing (read October 18, 2026), owner.com/pos and owner.com/delivery (read October 13, 2026). Ser.vi: get.ser.vi/pricing/. Prices change, so check each vendor before you decide. Owner.com is a trademark of its owner; Ser.vi is not affiliated with Owner.com.

What Owner.com actually costs, with a worked example

Both platforms charge the guest 5% on an online order, so the guest side is a wash. The difference is what the restaurant pays on top. Example math for illustration. Take a restaurant doing $6,000 a month in direct online orders:

Owner.com Flexible: $249 + 5% of $6,000 ($300) = $549 a month (about $6,588 a year).
Owner.com Flat Rate: $499 a month (about $5,988 a year). Owner.com's own guidance is that Flat Rate is best above $5,000 a month in online sales, which is where the two plans cost the same.
Ser.vi online ordering: $0 a month and 0% commission. Add Save & Promote ($249/mo) if you want us to run an SEO website, Google Ads, and an SMS ordering link, or Grow & Retain ($449/mo) for a branded mobile app and retargeting.

For comparison, the same $6,000 on delivery apps at a typical 25–30% commission would cost $1,500 to $1,800 a month.

Card processing: Ser.vi's 5% guest fee includes processing on our merchant account. Owner.com's pricing page does not publish its card processing terms, so ask them.

Which one fits

Pick Owner.com when

You want one subscription where a team runs your website, SEO pages, branded app, loyalty program, and email and SMS marketing for you, and you are fine paying $249 to $499 a month for it. Loyalty and rewards or AI phone ordering are must-haves on day one; Owner.com lists both, and this page does not claim them for Ser.vi. You already do well over $5,000 a month online and the Flat Rate's predictable cost suits you.

Pick Ser.vi when

You want direct online ordering at 0% commission and $0 a month, with the guest paying 5%. You want the POS, online ordering, and table QR self-service on one menu, with $0 monthly POS software and the option to pass the 3.0% + 20¢ POS fee to customers with a cash discount program. You want marketing to be optional, no software contract, and delivery through DoorDash drivers when you need it.
