Loman locks its best trick behind a $399 plan. Fasrad handles reservations, questions, and a guest record on phone, web, and email — 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.
Loman.ai is built around one trick: it takes pickup and delivery orders, processes payment on the line, and injects the ticket into Square, Toast, SpotOn, Clover, Aloha, Olo, or Shift4. The reason people hunt for a Loman.ai alternative is 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 — doesn't include ordering, POS integration, or payments at all; it answers and transfers. The product everyone pictures is the $399/mo Premium, also with the $149 setup fee, and its value depends on your POS being on the supported list — otherwise you're into Enterprise custom territory. And the whole thing is phone-only and restaurants-only: the guest who messages your website or emails about a birthday dinner is outside its world. Independent reviews are thin to nonexistent, so the 99.6% order-accuracy figure is the vendor's own.
Where Fasrad goes further:
Fasrad works the whole front desk: it takes reservations, answers questions, and builds a guest record across phone, web, and email. It also pushes orders to Square, Toast, or your POS through their REST APIs and texts the guest a secure payment link, then 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 when you'd rather one flat-fee agent cover the website and the inbox too, instead of paying restaurant-phone software to guard a single door.

It depends on which Loman you're 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. And if you were looking at the $199 Starter — which 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. Around that, it handles everything else the phone rings about: reservations, questions, messages, and the guest record that builds up 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. No transfer to staff, no 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 interaction — 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, not a migration.
$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime Loman runs $199/mo for answer-and-transfer or $399/mo for the ordering tier, each with a $149 setup fee, as of mid-2026. Fasrad is one flat subscription, no setup fee, and the price includes the channels Loman doesn't touch — your website chat and your email.
To Loman it does; the product is restaurants-only. Fasrad isn't vertical software: the identical agent answers for a barbershop, a dental office, a contractor, or the café and the catering arm at once. The greeting and the rules are yours to write.
