Independent restaurant playbook
Owner.com is the direct-ordering, mobile app, AI website, and SMS marketing engine 5,000+ independent restaurants use to grow on their own terms.
DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub take 25-40% of every order before you see a dollar. They keep the customer email, the phone number, and the order history. And the marketing spend you put behind coupon mailers, paid social, and aggregator promos? Most of it can't be traced back to revenue. The chains have the tech to fix all three. Independents do not. Until now.
Modern, conversion-tested ordering site that takes orders directly. No DoorDash hop, no commission, full tracking from impression to repeat order.
Custom-branded iOS/Android app with rewards built in. The same surface chains use to drive 50%+ of their orders, now configured for your menu.
Auto-segmented SMS and email retention that gets first-time orderers back twice as fast. Owned, opt-in, and trackable to the dollar.
Every email, phone number, and order history goes to you. Lifetime customer value, not a rented audience that disappears the day you change platforms.
"Before Owner, every regular ordered through DoorDash. Now we own the relationship and the margin. The mobile app alone changed our business."
Direct online sales an Owner-tier independent runs through their own funnel after switching off third-party-only.
The DoorDash / Uber / Grubhub commission tax that Owner recovers, dollar-for-dollar, by routing orders direct.
Compounded across the year, that recovered margin becomes meaningful free cash flow per location.
