Exciting news! 🎉 I’m feeling blessed to share Owner.com raised $33,000,000! Details here ⬇️
We’re using the cash to help restaurant owners fight back. They need our help.
Because just 5 years ago, you’d succeed as a restaurant if you provided great food and great service. But that’s not enough anymore. The world has shifted online.
📲 Restaurants now need to provide great food, great service, AND a great online experience.
Failing online kills many restaurants — because success now depends on things like website conversion, SEO, reviews, and a great online ordering UX.
Huge corporations like Domino’s have dominated in this shift. 🏦 They can afford to spend billions of dollars to weaponize it as an unfair advantage.
How are mom-and-pops supposed to compete with that? 🧑🍳
They need a platform to level the playing field. That’s where Owner comes in.
You can think of Owner as being like Shopify meets HubSpot, but for restaurant owners. They use our platform to do everything they need to succeed online. We are their website builder, CRM, marketing automation platform, and more in one.
