Loman.ai's headline trick — phone orders injected into your POS — sits behind its $399 Premium plan. Fasrad is the receptionist: 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.
Give Loman.ai its due: where most restaurant phone AIs dodge order calls, Loman actually takes pickup and delivery orders, processes payment on the line, and injects the ticket into Square, Toast, SpotOn, Clover, Aloha, Olo, or Shift4. Fasrad does none of that, and this page won't pretend otherwise. The reason people still hunt for a Loman.ai alternative is what's 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:
What Fasrad is not: a phone-ordering system. It will not take a card number over the line, and it will not write a ticket into Toast or Square — if your Friday night is forty pickup orders and you want them landing in the POS untouched, Loman's Premium plan is the purpose-built tool and the honest recommendation. Fasrad also doesn't send SMS order updates or live-transfer a caller to your staff.
Choose 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. If you want the $399 Premium for POS order injection and phone payments, no — Fasrad doesn't do either, and Loman is genuinely the right tool. 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.
No, and we won't fudge this: no order-taking with payment, no ticket injection into Square, Toast, or any POS. That capability is Loman's flagship and it's real — gated behind their Premium plan and their supported-POS list. Fasrad's job is everything else the phone rings about: reservations, questions, messages, and the guest record that builds up behind them.
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.
