A Restolabs Alternative You Own, Not Rent
Restolabs is a commission-free online-ordering platform sold as a monthly subscription - roughly $69 to $199 a month depending on tier, with a branded website and mobile app available as extra monthly add-ons. If you like the commission-free part but not renting it forever, an owned site gives you the same ordering for a one-time price.

What Restolabs actually charges
Restolabs takes no commission and no per-order fee of its own - you pay a flat monthly subscription (around $69 Basic, $99 Growth, $199 Pro) plus your payment processor's fees. A branded website and a mobile app are separate monthly add-ons. It's fair and transparent; it's also a bill that recurs every month you use it.

The honest gap
Commission-free is the right instinct, but the subscription means you're renting the ordering - and the website that showcases it is an extra monthly line. Stop paying and it stops working. You never reach a point where it's simply yours.
The owned alternative
Starvega builds the same thing a different way: a fast website with its own online ordering and a dashboard you log into, for a one-time price. The website and the commission-free ordering come together in one owned build, instead of a monthly subscription with the site and app billed as add-ons. There's no commission on orders and no monthly platform fee to keep it running - once it's live, the site, the ordering, and the customer data are yours.
That's the whole difference: you pay once for something you own, instead of renting it (or paying per order) for as long as you're in business.
