Gastovia review
A focused online gift shop with physical cards, experiences, and gift boxes.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Gastovia gives independent restaurants and restaurant groups a branded online shop for selling digital and physical gift cards, restaurant experiences, and gift boxes. Restaurants can embed the shop on an existing website or use a shop hosted on Gastovia’s domain. The product is designed to operate separately from an existing POS or reservation system, making it a focused add-on for direct online sales rather than a replacement for core restaurant software.
The plan structure maps to different levels of shop control and service. Starter includes a Gastovia-hosted shop, gift cards, Pro templates, and email support with a 24-hour response. Business adds an embedded shop, experiences, gift boxes, custom design, 1:1 onboarding, and priority support with a 4-hour response. Premium includes Business features plus physical fulfillment, multi-location support, a monthly strategy call, and a dedicated contact; multi-location support is listed as coming in Q4 ’26. Pricing starts at 29, with an 8% transaction fee on every sale and separate Stripe processing fees.
Gastovia’s strongest fit is a restaurant that wants to sell branded gifts online without changing its POS or reservation system. Stripe is the listed integration, while payment processing setup, launch support, and marketing materials are included in the product offering. The ability to export gift card liability and customer data when leaving also supports operational continuity. The trade-off is a narrow sales model: transactions are online-only, and the product does not integrate with a POS. Restaurants needing in-person gift card workflows or deeper restaurant-system connectivity should consider an alternative; restaurants prioritizing a dedicated online gift shop should find the Business or Premium plans more aligned with their needs.
