Wix vs Squarespace for Restaurants: Which Is Better?

By Alex Chen, SaaS Analyst· Updated April 2026

30-Second Answer for Restaurants

Wix is better for restaurants because it has built-in restaurant features: online ordering, table reservations, menu management, and delivery zone setup. Squarespace looks beautiful but lacks native restaurant-specific tools.

Why Restaurants Should Care

Restaurants that lack online ordering lose 20-30% of potential revenue. A website that looks great but cannot take orders is a missed opportunity every single day. Post-pandemic, online ordering is not optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Squarespace handle online food ordering?

Not natively. You would need to embed a third-party ordering system like ChowNow, Toast, or Square Online. This works but adds cost ($30-100/month extra), creates a disjointed experience, and means managing two platforms instead of one.

Is Wix Restaurants free?

The Wix Restaurants app is included with any Wix Business plan ($17-32/month). You get online ordering, menu management, and order notifications. There is a commission on orders through the Wix platform unless you upgrade to a premium plan.

What about using Toast or Square instead?

Toast and Square Online are excellent dedicated restaurant platforms with POS integration. If you already use their POS system, their website builder may be a better fit. Wix is the better general website builder with restaurant features, while Toast/Square are restaurant platforms with basic websites.
