Why restaurants switch
The specific reasons owners moving from Owner.com pick Fee Free Ordering.
Free core platform vs a flat monthly subscription
Owner.com, per its published model, bundles its website, ordering and marketing into a flat monthly fee. Fee Free's core platform is free, your first 100 orders a month are free, and the same essentials — ordering, native kitchen app and CRM — cost nothing to start.
À-la-carte, so you don't pay for the whole bundle
Want online card payments but not a hosted website? Turn on just what you need. Each piece is a separate optional add-on, so a single-location independent isn't paying for an enterprise bundle — you pay only for what you use.
Try it before you ever talk to anyone
Paste your menu link and a live ordering page builds in seconds with no account and no demo call. Owner.com's onboarding is typically sales-led; Fee Free's is self-serve from the first click.
Both are commission-free — Fee Free adds the operations depth
Like Owner.com, Fee Free takes 0% commission on direct orders. On top of that you get a native Kitchen Order App that rings even screen-off, can phone-call the owner on a missed order, and prints over WiFi to Star, Epson, Bixolon and Citizen printers.
