Wix pricing (2026): the plan a restaurant needs to take orders
Wix has a free plan and four paid ones: Light at $17 a month, Core at $29, Business at $39 and Business Elite at $159. Those are yearly prices, paid in full when you buy. A restaurant that wants online orders or table reservations needs Core or higher; Light shows your menu but takes no payments.
Key takeaways
- We read Wix's five plans on its US plans page on 30 October 2026. Prices there exclude tax and vary by location.
- The page quotes every paid plan on a yearly subscription, so Light costs $204 up front and Core $348.
- The free plan keeps your site on a wixsite.com address with Wix branding.
- Commission-free online orders, reservations and payments all start at Core. Light includes custom menus and none of those.
- The custom domain is free for the first year only, and only when you register a new domain through Wix.

Who is Wix for?
Wix suits an owner who wants to design the site themselves and add tools over time: a restaurant that takes orders and reservations on Core, or a tour company selling bookable services on the same plan. Light is enough only for a menu, hours and photos. Moving from an old site? The free website grader shows what it does well, so you can carry those parts over to Wix.
How does Wix compare with PlacePilot?
Pick PlacePilot if
- You would rather start from the hours, photos and reviews already on your Google Business Profile than from a blank template.
- You have no evenings for an editor and want to text a change, like a new dish or Sunday hours, and have it done. Here is how that works for restaurants.
Pick Wix if
- You want commission-free online orders and reservations on your own site from $29 a month.
- You like arranging sections in a drag-and-drop editor yourself.
- You can pay for a year at once to get the listed price.
| Feature | PlacePilot | Wix |
|---|---|---|
| After launch | Weekly checks of your site and search, fixes ready to publish (the better pick on this row) | Built-in marketing and SEO tools that you run |
| Commitment | One month at a time (the better pick on this row) | A year, paid up front, at the listed price |
| Lowest price | $24.99 a month on Owner | $17 a month on Light ($204 a year) (the better pick on this row) |
| Free plan | None. Building the site and the report are free; publishing needs a plan | $0, on a wixsite.com address with Wix branding (the better pick on this row) |
