Owner is an AI platform that builds and runs websites, online ordering, mobile apps, CRM, marketing, POS and customer support for local businesses, starting with independent restaurants.
Independent restaurants face a digital disadvantage against chains that can spend heavily on technology and marketing, while third-party ordering apps can take 20%–30% of each order; Owner says its system gives them websites, ordering, loyalty and marketing that drive direct sales. The bet is scaling that model with AI: Owner says more than 100 million consumers have used the platform, local restaurants will drive more than $1 billion in sales through it in 2026, and the company raised $240 million at a $2.3 billion valuation.
