Restaurant website builder: what each costs in 2026

The cheapest restaurant website builder with online ordering built in is Wix or Square Online, unless you already run Toast. On 300 pickup orders a month at $30, Wix’s Core plan costs about $380 a month with card fees and Square Online Free about $387, with no fee to guests. Toast’s Growth pack runs $377 to $938 and needs a Toast POS. Popmenu and Owner.com cost $539 to $1,063 before Popmenu’s unpriced ordering add-on, and their guests can pay up to $450 more in fees.

Which restaurant website builders include online ordering?

Six of the seven we checked on November 14, 2026 sell their own ordering with the site. Squarespace sends you to ChowNow or Tock for it.

What does a month of orders cost on each one?

Say a restaurant takes 300 online pickup orders a month at $30, or $9,000. We leave tax and tip out to keep the numbers simple, although card fees apply to the whole payment. Where guests pay a per-order fee, it is part of the card payment, so the card rate applies to it too.

BentoBox is not in the table because it publishes no plan price. Its 99¢ fee alone comes to $297 on these orders, as our BentoBox pricing post shows, before Clover’s card fees and the plan.

We priced Popmenu on Stripe. Popmenu’s help center lists Square as its other processor at 2.6% + 15¢, which would take about $72 off each Popmenu row, but Square’s own pricing lists 3.3% + 30¢ for online payments on its Free plan, so ask Square which rate applies.

Is Wix good for a restaurant website?

For one location that will build its own site, it is the cheapest package we found that needs no POS. On Wix’s plans page, Core at $29 a month (billed yearly) is the lowest plan with commission-free online orders, curbside pickup, delivery zones, QR code table ordering, reservations and a loyalty program. Light at $17 a month has custom menus and a domain but no online orders and no payments. Wix Payments charges 2.9% + 30¢ per US card payment and 3.7% + 30¢ on American Express.

You build the site yourself, and Wix’s prices are for yearly plans paid up front, before tax.

Is Square Online free for restaurants?

The plan is free. Square Free costs $0 a month and includes the website builder, pickup and local delivery, but online card payments cost 3.3% + 30¢ instead of 2.9% + 30¢, and you cannot connect your own domain. Square Plus, at $49 a month per location, adds the domain and QR code ordering. Our Square online ordering costs post covers the plans in detail.

At 300 orders of $30, Free ($387) and Plus ($400) cost about the same. Plus pays for itself once online sales pass about $12,250 a month, where the 0.4-point rate gap covers the $49.

What does Toast charge for a restaurant website?

Websites come in Toast’s Growth pack, with gift cards, loyalty, marketing and catering. In the Countertop Starter Kit checkout, Growth is $578 a month on Traditional pricing, on a two-year software agreement, with 2.49% + 15¢ on most card payments and 3.50% + 15¢ on card-not-present ones, and the kit costs $1,153. On Pay-as-you-Go, Growth is $0 a month and the kit is $0, but every card payment costs 3.69% + 15¢.

On Pay-as-you-Go the rate applies at the counter too. Growth costs 0.6 points more per payment than the Basic pack’s 3.09% + 15¢, so a restaurant that also takes $30,000 a month at the register pays $180 a month more there for the website pack. Toast’s website only makes sense if Toast is your POS. Our Toast pricing post prices the packs in full.

Are Popmenu and Owner.com worth it?

They cost the most in the table. Owner.com builds and launches the site for you, and Popmenu sells its site with marketing tools attached. Popmenu Starter includes an SEO-driven website, an interactive menu, Google Business Profile sync and automated email. Online ordering is an add-on on every Popmenu plan with no published price, and each order carries a $1 fee. Our Popmenu pricing post covers how that fee is collected.

Owner.com includes the website, ordering, a branded app and marketing automation on both plans. Guests pay a 5% order support fee on every order, and Flex adds 5% to the restaurant. Flat at $499 costs less than Flex once online sales pass $5,000 a month, as our Owner.com pricing post works out. Owner bills month to month with no contract.

If you have no time to build a site and want marketing with it, these two are the honest choice. At this size they cost about $160 to $680 a month more than Wix, before Popmenu’s ordering add-on.

Can I use Squarespace for a restaurant?

Yes, for the site. Squarespace’s Basic plan is $19 a month billed yearly or $25 monthly, and Basic adds a 2% fee on online store sales. Its restaurant page says to add online ordering through ChowNow or Tock, and reservations through Tock. That means a second company and a second bill for ordering. Our ChowNow pricing post prices the ChowNow option.

Where Expresso fits

Expresso builds no website, so it does not replace any builder above. What it gives you is an ordering page with a link you can put on a site you already have, your Google profile or a QR code at the table, for pickup, curbside, scheduled and table orders. Expresso has no delivery and no loyalty program; promo codes are its only discount.

There is no monthly fee and no contract, and the kitchen tablet costs $149 once. The restaurant pays card processing of 3.2% + 30¢ on the order total, and guests pay a 2.5% convenience fee on the food subtotal. On the same 300 orders of $30 that is $385.20 a month to the restaurant and $225 to guests. Add Wix Light at $17 for the site and the total is $402.20.

On cost alone, Wix Core and Square Online beat that at this size, with no guest fee. Expresso is worth a look if you already have a website you like and only need ordering on it, or if you would rather not move your menu into a website builder.
