Loman locks its best trick behind a $399 plan. Fasrad handles reservations, questions, and a guest record on phone, web and email for one flat price.
Loman.ai is restaurant phone-ordering software with POS injection on its top tier. Fasrad is a flat-fee front desk across phone, web chat, and email.
$399 a month. That's the Loman.ai plan most people picture when they hear the name. It takes pickup and delivery orders, processes payment on the line, and injects the ticket into Square, Toast, SpotOn, Clover, Aloha, Olo, or Shift4. People hunt for a Loman.ai alternative because of everything around that trick: the plan structure, the channel silo, and the single vertical.
Read their pricing page closely (as of mid-2026). The $199/mo Starter, plus a $149 setup fee, answers and transfers. Ordering, POS integration and payments aren't in it. Those live in the $399/mo Premium, also with the $149 setup fee, and its value depends on your POS being on the supported list. If it isn't, you're into Enterprise custom territory. The whole product is phone-only and restaurants-only, so the guest who messages your website or emails about a birthday dinner never reaches it. Independent reviews are thin to nonexistent, which leaves the 99.6% order-accuracy figure as the vendor's own.
Where Fasrad goes further:
Orders are covered too. Fasrad pushes them to Square, Toast, or your POS through their REST APIs and texts the guest a secure payment link. It sends SMS order updates as the ticket moves and flags anything that needs a hand to your staff.
Pick Fasrad when your phone traffic is reservations, hours, directions, dietary questions and event inquiries, and you want one flat-fee agent covering the website and the inbox as well.

Yes, whichever Loman you were buying. The $399 Premium centers on POS order injection and phone payments. Fasrad pushes orders to Square, Toast, or your POS through their REST APIs and sends a secure payment link, so that ground is covered without a premium tier. The $199 Starter answers and transfers without any ordering features. Fasrad replaces it outright and adds website chat, email, real mid-call booking, and a CRM for a flat fee.
Yes. Fasrad sends orders to Square, Toast, or your POS through their REST APIs and texts the guest a secure payment link to settle up. It also handles everything else the phone rings about (reservations, questions, messages) and builds the guest record behind them across phone, web and email.
Yes. It checks live availability on its calendar, negotiates the time with the caller, books the party, and attaches the details (allergy notes, occasion, party size) to both the reservation and the guest's CRM entry. Nobody gets transferred and nothing waits in a callback queue.
A contact record, a plain-language summary, and the full transcript, auto-filed in the agent's built-in CRM. Loman gives you a dashboard of transcripts and order analytics to check. Fasrad files the guest history where the next call or email will actually use it.
Yes. Forward your current line to the agent (the same forwarding you'd set up for Loman) or take the dedicated number Fasrad provides. Moving over is a five-minute change at your phone provider.
Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. As of mid-2026, Loman runs $199/mo for answer-and-transfer or $399/mo for the ordering tier, each with a $149 setup fee. Fasrad is one flat subscription with no setup fee, and the price includes your website chat and your email, two channels Loman doesn't touch.
Not to Fasrad. Loman is restaurants-only. The identical Fasrad agent answers for a barbershop, a dental office, a contractor, or the café and the catering arm at once. You write the greeting and the rules.
