Owner does the work for them agentically.\nOur system drives demand, converts it, and helps operators run their business day to day. As it improves, the business improves with it.\nUsing Owner should feel like having a team of great operators, engineers, and marketers working for you.\nOur vision\nWe’re starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online.\nBut it’s not just restaurants that need our help. Most local businesses are struggling with these same problems. Huge technology corporations are taking their customers, bleeding their profits, and making it hard for them to survive.\nOnce we nail the solution for restaurants - we’ll scale it into every other local business type.\nIn the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.\nOur traction\nSince 2020, we've generated tens of millions in revenue and processed over a billion dollars of online orders. 1 in 5 Americans have used an Owner.com website.\nMore importantly, we’ve helped over 20,000 restaurant owners, and saved them nearly $200 million in fees.\nOur team\nOur team is now in the low hundreds. We’ve got top talent from the most successful companies in SMB software, including: Shopify, HubSpot, DoorDash, ServiceTitan, Rappi, Faire and Stripe.\nWe’ll be scaling even faster in 2026 to keep pace with our customer growth.\nWhere we work\nOwner is a remote-first, global company headquartered in San Francisco, with a sales hub in Toronto.
