Owner offers an opinionated commerce and marketing system—starting with restaurants—that focuses on outcome-driven growth rather than another generic software tool. Its core product includes AI-based website creation, automated marketing tools, and universal standardized web templates that enable thousands of split-tests daily. Owner reports that guests on its websites are more than twice as likely to place an order, restaurants on the platform grow traffic by 30% on average within 30 days, and its websites convert 100% more visitors into customers on average. The average Owner customer grows direct online revenue more than 30% in the first year and every year after that, and over 1,000 customers have switched to Owner from competing products. Owner integrates with point-of-sale systems including Toast, Square, and Clover. The company positions itself as the fastest-growing company in restaurant tech and aims to become a "Shopify" for local businesses. Owner.com is an all-in-one platform for independent restaurants offering online ordering, a website builder, CRM, marketing automation, and a branded mobile app generator. Founded by Adam Guild and Dean Bloembergen, the company has integrated AI features such as an AI-powered email marketer to help restaurants generate marketing messages. Owner.com reports thousands of customers after tripling its customer count over the past year, processes hundreds of millions of dollars annually for its customers, and generates tens of millions in revenue. The company has raised $58.7 million to date, including a $10.7M seed led by SaaStr Fund and a $15M Series A led by Altman Capital. Today it completed a $33M Series B at a $200M post-money valuation co-led by Redpoint Ventures and Altman Capital with participation from Horsley Bridge, Activant Capital and Transpose Platform Management. Management says it will continue investing in engineering and design to build additional tools in its product pipeline aimed at helping mom-and-pop restaurants improve online guest experiences and marketing. Owner.com offers an integrated platform designed to manage an independent restaurant’s entire digital presence, including online ordering, delivery tools, website creation and updates, email marketing, recruiting and reputation management. The company recently relaunched with expanded delivery and marketing automation features and plans to add reservations and catering products. It says the product consolidates many point solutions to save restaurants time and money, claiming it saves owners an average of seven hours per month and over $2,750 per month in fees. At the time of its earlier funding the business had reached a seven-figure run-rate and reported over 105% monthly revenue retention across more than 700 restaurant locations; today it operates in 49 states with more than 1,500 restaurants. Owner.com is growing at over 20% month-over-month, is on track to grow ARR by more than 700% in 2022, and was valued at $150 million after the latest financing. The founders, Adam Guild and Dean Bloembergen, started the company in 2020 and plan to use the new capital to expand headcount and accelerate product development. Owner.com offers independent restaurants a free online ordering, delivery and marketing platform that lets restaurants own their customer data and automate marketing campaigns. The Palo Alto–based startup charges customers a 5% convenience fee while keeping the service free for restaurants. Since launching last year the company has reached a seven-figure run rate, over 105% monthly revenue retention across more than 700 restaurant locations, and has transacted over $18 million. Owner.com says it has helped its restaurant customers avoid paying roughly $3 million in third-party platform fees annually. Co-founder and CEO Adam Guild (a Thiel Fellow) leads product development and the company plans to add features like landing pages, reservations, and native white-label apps. The product targets independent operators who lack the scale to negotiate lower rates from legacy ordering platforms.
