Best restaurant website builders (2026): the real 12-month cost

The plan price is only part of it. Here is what Wix, Squarespace, ChowNow, Owner, Toast, BentoBox and Orderitto cost over a year at $5k, $10k and $20k a month in online orders.

One-minute answer

  • Cheapest year one: Wix Core at $29 a month billed yearly, with commission-free ordering. You build and run it yourself.
  • Card processing comes on top of every plan and grows with sales. At 2.9% + $0.30 and a $25 average order, it is $2,460 a year at $5k a month and $9,840 at $20k.
  • Squarespace has no ordering of its own for restaurants. Its restaurant page sends you to ChowNow, from $229 a month.
  • Owner.com is $249 + 5% or $499 a month, and your guests pay another 5% on every order on both plans.
  • Toast Websites needs Toast POS and BentoBox needs Clover POS. Neither publishes a website price.
  • GloriaFood reaches end of life on April 30, 2027. Do not start a new site on it.
  • Disclosure: Orderitto publishes this page and is in the table, limits included.

Every fee, from the vendors' own pages

What each restaurant website builder charges

Every cell was read on October 18, 2026 from the page linked in the sources at the bottom. “Not published” means we read the vendor's page and the figure is not there. Ask for it in writing before you sign.

Scroll the table sideways on a phone. Squarespace's Basic plan also charges 2% on online store sales, but restaurant orders placed through ChowNow go through ChowNow's checkout at ChowNow's own rate. Wix's Light plan ($17) does not list “Accept payments,” so Core is the cheapest Wix plan that can take paid orders.

Worked math

12-month cost at $5k, $10k and $20k a month in online orders

Each total is setup, plus 12 months of the plan, plus per-order fees, plus card processing. It assumes a $25 average online order (200, 400 and 800 orders a month), every one paid by card online. Fees your guests pay are listed in the notes, not in the total, because they come out of your customers' pockets.

Plan$5,000 a month$10,000 a month$20,000 a monthHow it adds up
Wix Core$2,808$5,268$10,188$348 plan + Wix Payments. You build and run the site and the ordering yourself.
Orderitto Starter$5,047$7,507$12,427$799 setup + $1,788 plan + Stripe. No app on Starter.
ChowNow Launch (billed yearly)$5,333 to $5,713$7,799 to $8,179$12,731 to $13,111$119 to $499 setup + $2,748 plan + 2.95% + $0.29. Website and app included.

What the math shows

At $10,000 a month and up, card processing is the biggest single line for every plan that publishes its rate, and the rate is about the same everywhere. What changes is the platform: from $348 a year on Wix Core to $14,988 on Owner Flexible at $20,000 a month. Per-order fees grow with every order. Flat fees do not. Wix is the cheapest because you do the building, the menu and the upkeep yourself.

Your number, not ours

Bring your monthly online sales, average ticket and POS. We will lay out the 12-month total for the builders you are weighing next to Orderitto's, with card processing and guest fees on the same sheet.

On GloriaFood?

GloriaFood ends April 30, 2027. Here is what has to move.

GloriaFood's home page says the service “will reach end of life on April 30, 2027.” Oracle says it does not offer a direct replacement and names FoodAmigos as one option. GloriaFood's ordering core has no monthly fee and online card payments are $29 a month, but it cannot run for another 12 months. Four things have to move: your menu with its modifiers, your domain and ordering link, your customer list, and the ordering button on your Google Business Profile.

Before you sign

Contract, POS, app and reservations, side by side

These terms decide how hard it is to leave later. Each cell is what the vendor's own page said on October 18, 2026. None of the pages read say who owns the domain or whether the customer list can be exported, so ask every vendor both questions in writing.

Pick this if

Which builder fits which restaurant

Every builder here is good at something. Match it to how your restaurant runs.

Wix: you want the lowest cost and will build it yourself

Core is $29 a month billed yearly, with commission-free ordering and reservations on the restaurant page. The trade-off is your time: you design the site, load the menu and keep it current.

Squarespace: design comes first

Basic is $19 a month billed yearly. Squarespace's restaurant page adds reservations through Tock and ordering through ChowNow, so budget for ChowNow too if you take orders online.

ChowNow: you want a website and app on one bill

Every plan includes an SEO-optimized website, a branded mobile app, loyalty and 30+ POS integrations. Launch starts at $229 a month billed yearly, with a $119 to $499 setup fee.

Owner.com: you want it all run for you

An AI-powered website, online ordering, a branded app and marketing automations on both plans, month to month. Owner says Flat suits restaurants at $5k+ a month online. Guests pay a 5% order support fee.

Toast Websites or BentoBox: you are on Toast or Clover

Toast Websites syncs with your Toast menu and Toast Tables and is quoted inside Digital Storefront Pro. BentoBox, now part of Clover, is only sold to Clover POS customers.

Orderitto: flat-fee branded ordering, built for you

Starter is $799 setup and $149 a month for the ordering website, pickup and delivery, and Stripe payments. Pro is $1,299 and $249 and adds the app, loyalty and Clover integration. No per-order commission. In its own words it is “not a generic page builder,” and its pages list no reservations.

How we compared

Method and disclosure

Prices from vendor pages only

Every price was read from the vendor's own pricing, product or help page on October 18, 2026. No figure comes from another comparison site or an affiliate list. There are no coupon codes or paid links on this page.

Who wrote this

The Orderitto team at INVASSO LLC in Parsippany, New Jersey. Orderitto is in the table, so its limits are listed too: the one-time setup fee, no app on Starter, and no reservations listed.

What the totals leave out

Domain renewals, delivery driver fees, add-on apps and taxes. Owner and Toast do not publish a processing rate, so their totals say “+ processing.” Toast and BentoBox publish no website price, so they are not totaled.

What to ask every vendor

Get five things in writing: the card processing rate, any fee your guests pay, the contract length and cancellation terms, who owns the domain, and whether you can export your menu and customer list if you leave.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best website builder for a restaurant?

It depends on who builds the site and how you take orders. For the lowest year-one cost and a site you build yourself, Wix: Core is $29 a month billed yearly and its ordering is commission-free. On Toast or Clover, start with Toast Websites or BentoBox. For a website, app and marketing run for you at $5,000 or more a month online, Owner.com. For a branded app on every plan, ChowNow. For flat-fee branded ordering that an existing site can link to, Orderitto. Every price here was read on October 18, 2026.

How much does it cost to build a website for a restaurant?

The plan is only part of the cost. On the prices read October 18, 2026, yearly plans run from $204 (Wix Light, billed yearly; its plan list does not include payments) or $348 for the cheapest plan that can take paid orders (Wix Core) to $5,988 (Owner.com Flat), before setup and per-order fees. Card processing comes on top: at 2.9% + $0.30 and a $25 average order, it is $2,460 a year at $5,000 a month in orders and $9,840 at $20,000. Add any setup fee, per-order fee and add-on apps.

How do I create a website for my restaurant?

Decide first whether the site must take orders. Then pick a builder that fits your POS. Put your menu on the page as text, not a PDF. Add hours, address, phone and a map. Connect online ordering and card payments and place a test order. Use your own domain. Then link the site from your Google Business Profile and social pages.

Can I keep my Wix or Squarespace site and still take commission-free orders?

Yes. Wix has commission-free ordering built in. Squarespace sends restaurants to ChowNow for ordering, which is commission-free and starts at $229 a month billed yearly. Orderitto's restaurant website page says an existing site can keep its design and link to the Orderitto ordering site as its Order Now button.

Is GloriaFood shutting down?

Yes. GloriaFood's home page, read October 18, 2026, says it will reach end of life on April 30, 2027. Oracle says it does not offer a direct replacement and names FoodAmigos as an option. If your website or ordering runs on GloriaFood, plan the move: menu, domain, customer list and ordering link.

Which restaurant website builders charge my customers a fee?

Of the builders here, Owner.com publishes one: guests pay a 5% order support fee on both plans. ChowNow, Toast and BentoBox do not publish a guest fee. Wix lists none, and Orderitto's pricing page lists none.

Do I need a POS to use a restaurant website builder?

Not for Wix, Squarespace, ChowNow, Owner.com or Orderitto. Toast Websites is for Toast POS restaurants. BentoBox says its products are only available to Clover POS customers.

Does Orderitto build the whole restaurant website?

Orderitto builds a branded online ordering website: the storefront, menu and checkout that take orders under your name. Its restaurant website page says that if you have no site, the Orderitto ordering site can be your main online presence, and if you have one, Orderitto becomes the ordering layer it links to. It calls itself “not a generic page builder.”
