WhatsTable vs Owner.com
Short answer: Owner is a strong pick for takeout-heavy restaurants that want a branded app and lots of support. WhatsTable is for restaurants on Clover that want the whole restaurant, front and back, in one system, with nothing added to the guest's bill.

Honest read: at higher online sales, Owner's Flat plan can cost you less than WhatsTable's share. Your guests still pay 5% more on Owner. And WhatsTable's share also covers bookings, Maya, catering, the kitchen screen, purchasing and P&L, which you would buy elsewhere with Owner. Try your own numbers.
