Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Foodics

  • It is sold only in its supported Middle East and North Africa markets, so a group expanding into Europe or North America has to run a second point of sale platform there.
  • Revenue comes from payment processing rather than software, so a low subscription usually accompanies a processing rate that costs far more over a year than the licence does.
  • Merchant lending is underwritten against the card volume flowing through the platform, which makes switching vendors mid facility commercially awkward.
  • Feature depth is strongest in quick service and cafe formats; fine dining coursing, complex table management and hotel outlet workflows are thinner.
  • Support quality and reseller capability vary noticeably by country, so an implementation in a smaller market is not the same experience as one in Riyadh.

Owner.com

  • The $249 per month Flexible plan adds a 5 percent restaurant fee on every order, so cost rises with sales volume
  • Avoiding the per order fee requires the Flat Rate plan at $499 per month
  • Guests are charged a 5 percent order support fee on top of the restaurant's own costs
  • Multi location operators are quoted special rates that are not published

Foodics: Can I use my own payment provider?

It is possible in some markets, but the commercial model is built around Foodics payments and the subscription pricing reflects that.

Owner.com: Which Owner.com plan is best for my restaurant?

The Flexible Plan suits lower-volume restaurants, while the Flat Rate Plan works better for restaurants generating $5,000 or more monthly in online sales, as it eliminates the 5% per-order fee.

Source
Foodics: Is it available outside the Middle East?

No. It is sold in Gulf markets and Egypt, and there is no general availability in Europe or North America.

Owner.com: Are there cancellation fees with Owner.com?

No, Owner.com operates on month-to-month billing with no long-term contracts required and no cancellation fees, allowing restaurants to switch plans or cancel anytime.

Foodics: Does it work in Arabic throughout?
