Best Online Ordering Apps

for Square Restaurants in 2026

If you run your restaurant on Square, you already know how powerful it is for managing your menu, payments, and reporting. But when it comes to online ordering, Square sellers have more options than ever — and not all of them play nicely with your existing setup.

We compared the most popular online ordering platforms that integrate with Square to help you find the right fit for your restaurant.

What to Look For in an Online Ordering App

Before diving into the options, here are the things that matter most for Square sellers:

• Square integration — Does the platform pull your menu, modifiers, prices, and item availability directly from Square? Or do you need to manage two separate menus?
• Branding — Is the ordering experience branded to your restaurant, or does it live on someone else’s platform?
• Pricing — Monthly fees, per-order fees, commission percentages — how do the costs actually add up?
• Channels — Do you get a mobile app, a web ordering page, or both?
• Features — Delivery, catering, loyalty, push notifications, promo codes — what’s included vs. what costs extra?

The Platforms

Square Online

Price: Free (processing fees apply) Square integration: Native — it’s built by Square. What you get: A free online ordering website connected directly to your Square catalog.

Square Online is the most obvious starting point since it’s free and built right into your Square account. It syncs your menu automatically and handles pickup, delivery, and QR code ordering.

Square Online covers the essentials well, and for plenty of restaurants that is exactly the right amount of software. What it does not include is a branded mobile app — so there is no home-screen presence and no push notifications to bring regulars back — and the design is kept deliberately simple so it stays easy to run. Restaurants that want their own app, deeper branding, and marketing automation generally add a platform on top of the same Square catalog rather than moving away from Square.

Best for: Restaurants that want a free, native way to start taking online orders on Square.

ChowNow

Price: Starts around $149/month + fees Square integration: Yes What you get: Branded web ordering + optional mobile app (additional cost).

ChowNow has been around for years and offers a solid commission-free ordering platform. They integrate with Square and several other POS systems. Their web ordering pages are clean and branded, and they offer a marketplace listing to help with discovery.

The mobile app is available but typically comes at a higher price tier. Push notifications and marketing tools are limited compared to newer platforms. Pricing can also be hard to pin down — you usually need to talk to sales.

Best for: Mid-size restaurants with budget for a higher monthly subscription who want an established platform.

DoorDash Storefront

Price: Free to set up (commission on delivery orders) Square integration: Limited What you get: A web ordering page powered by DoorDash.

DoorDash Storefront gives you a free branded web ordering page. Pickup orders have no commission, which is appealing. But delivery orders are fulfilled by DoorDash drivers and come with fees ranging from 8% to 12% depending on your plan.

The catch is that your “storefront” still lives within the DoorDash ecosystem. Customer data is shared with DoorDash, and the platform may promote other restaurants to your customers. Square integration is also more limited than native Square-first platforms.

Best for: Restaurants already on DoorDash who want a quick web ordering page with minimal setup.

Owner.com

Price: $249/month + 5% per order, or $499/month flat Square integration: Connects to Square; Clover is their native POS What you get: AI-powered restaurant website + web ordering + marketing automation + a branded mobile app.

Owner.com is a well-funded, feature-rich platform with strong marketing automation, SEO tools, and a polished web ordering experience. They’ve grown quickly and have impressive case studies.

For Square sellers the questions are depth and cost. Owner.com connects to Square, but Clover is its native integration, so the Square sync does not run as deep as a Square-only platform’s. Pricing is also the highest on this list: $249/month plus a 5% restaurant fee per order, or $499/month flat — and on both plans your guests pay a separate 5% order support fee at checkout.

Best for: Restaurants that want a full marketing operation — website, SEO, email and SMS — bundled with ordering, and have the budget for it.

Gegsy

Price: $49–$99/month (per-order fees vary by plan) Square integration: Full — real-time sync of menu, prices, hours, modifiers, categories, and locations. What you get: Branded mobile app (iOS & Android) + branded web storefront + delivery + catering + push notifications + promo codes + Square Loyalty integration.

Gegsy is built specifically for Square sellers. Your catalog syncs in real time, so any changes you make in Square are reflected instantly across your app and storefront. Every plan includes both a custom-branded mobile app and a web storefront — you don’t need to choose one or the other.

Delivery is powered by Nash and DoorDash Drive, catering is built in with advance notice and order minimum controls, and your loyalty program connects directly to Square Loyalty and Gift Cards. Marketing push notifications are available on the Pro plan.

The pricing is straightforward — monthly subscription plus a flat per-order fee based on your plan. No commissions. No hidden fees.

Best for: Square-powered restaurants of any size that want both a branded mobile app and web ordering at an affordable price.

How They Compare

Here’s a quick side-by-side:

The Bottom Line

If you’re a Square seller, the most important factor is how deeply the platform reads your Square catalog. The less your menu, prices, and modifiers have to be maintained twice, the fewer stale prices and sold-out items reach your customers.

Gegsy gives Square restaurants both a branded mobile app and a web storefront with real-time catalog sync, starting at $49/month. No commissions, no contracts, and your storefront can be live in minutes.
