How Much Does a Restaurant Website Cost in 2026?

Restaurant website prices at a glance

Here is what each option lists on its own pricing page as of October 2026. Prices are in US dollars, per month, for one location.

DIY website builders: Wix and Squarespace

Wix's US plans run from $17 a month for Light to $159 for Business Elite on yearly billing, according to Website Builder Expert's September 2026 review, and cost more billed monthly. To take payments you need at least Core at $29, since Light has no ecommerce. Wix notes that its prices vary by location.

Squarespace lists four plans: Basic at $19, Core at $29, Plus at $49 and Advanced at $99 a month when paid yearly, or $25, $39, $65 and $139 paid monthly. Basic adds a 2% transaction fee on online store sales, and the other plans charge 0%. Card processing is separate, from 2.9% + $0.30 down to 2.5% + $0.30 for standard cards. Hosting and SSL are included.

A builder is the cheapest way to show your menu, hours and address, but you build and update it yourself, and ordering means the builder's own tools or a separate ordering system with its own bill.

Restaurant platforms with online ordering

These bundle the website with ordering, menus and marketing, and most also charge something per order.

Owner.com

Owner.com has two plans. Flexible is $249 a month plus a 5% restaurant fee per order. Flat Rate is $499 a month with no restaurant fee, and Owner recommends it for restaurants doing $5,000 or more a month in online sales. On both plans, guests pay a 5% order support fee. Billing is month to month with no cancellation fees. Our Owner.com alternatives guide compares it with the options below.

ChowNow

ChowNow's Launch, Grow and Elevate plans start at $229, $319 and $409 a month billed yearly, or $249, $349 and $449 billed monthly. ChowNow also lists a $119 to $499 setup fee, 2.95% + $0.29 per transaction, $7.98 per Flex Delivery order and $250 to $420 for a printer.

Popmenu

Popmenu's Starter, Essentials and Premier plans are $159, $269 and $449 a month prepaid yearly, or $179, $299 and $499 month to month. Online ordering and catering is an add-on on every plan. Popmenu charges a flat $1.00 per online order, which you can pass to the guest at checkout or absorb.

Toast

Toast Websites is a website builder that stays in sync with your Toast POS menu and online ordering. Toast doesn't publish a website price. Its restaurant POS software runs from $0 to $69 a month, and add-ons such as online ordering are priced in a custom quote. Toast says its online ordering has no commissions, with a flat fee per delivery order.

Square

Square includes a branded online ordering page and a website builder in all three of its plans: Free at $0, Plus at $49 and Premium at $149 per location per month. Square says orders through the ordering page are commission free. Online card payments cost 3.3% + 30¢ on Free and 2.9% + 30¢ on Plus and Premium.

BentoBox

BentoBox is now part of Clover, and its products are only available to Clover POS customers. It doesn't publish prices on its own site.

Custom builds from a designer or agency

A custom site is a one-time project rather than a monthly plan. WebFX, a digital marketing agency, put small business websites at $1,000 to $48,000 on average in its 2024 cost guide, with small agencies at $6,000 to $12,000 and large agencies up to $48,000. It listed shared hosting at about $10 to $20 a month on top.

Ask whether the quote includes online ordering. If not, you still need an ordering system and someone to update the menu.

What actually drives the cost

Per-order fees

The monthly price is the easy part to compare. Per-order fees are where totals split apart, because they grow with your sales. A 5% fee on $10,000 a month of online orders is $500 a month, more than many plans cost. Check who pays it too: a fee charged to the guest still raises the price of ordering from you.

Card processing and one-time costs

Every online card payment costs something, and not every pricing page lists the rate. Setup fees, printers and a branded app add one-time or yearly costs. Ask for all of it in writing.

Domain and hosting

Your domain is your web address, such as yourrestaurant.com. Squarespace's yearly plans include one free year of domain registration, then the domain renews at the standard rate, and most yearly Wix plans come with a one-year domain voucher. Squarespace advertises domains from $10, and WebFX put renewals at roughly $10 to $60 a year. Hosting comes with builder and platform plans. Register the domain in your own name so you can take it with you.

A worked example

Take a made-up restaurant with 400 online orders a month at a $25 average, which is $10,000 a month in online sales. Here is what three published price lists come to.

Owner.com's pricing page lists no card processing fee, and its guests pay a 5% order support fee on top, another $500 here. ChowNow's row leaves out the setup fee.

Owner.com's two plans break even at $5,000 a month in online sales. Popmenu's $1.00 per order would be $400 here if you absorb it, plus an ordering add-on with no published price. To compare any of this with marketplace commissions, see what DoorDash and Uber Eats charge.

How to compare quotes

• Per-order fees, and who pays them. A fee on you, on the guest, or both.
• Card processing. The exact rate, and whether it is included in another fee.
• One-time costs. Setup, hardware, a printer, a branded app.
• Contract and cancellation. Month to month, or a fixed term.
• Ownership. Who owns the domain and the customer list if you leave.

Our online ordering systems comparison goes deeper on ordering, commission-free online ordering explains what you still pay without a commission, and the restaurant website checklist covers what the site itself needs. Once it is live, set up your Google Business Profile to send orders to it.

Webbit plans are $0, $99 or $199 a month: your own website with direct ordering for pickup and delivery, and no commission on the food.
