Free, but not a real business website
Google Sites is free, but it produces a barebones page with no real SEO, no proper custom domain without Google Workspace, and a generic look. Dinehere is A$59/month (or A$590/year — 2 months free): a polished, SEO-friendly restaurant website on your own domain, built from your menu, hosting included.
The smarter choice for restaurant owners
A Real Website
Google Sites pages look basic and aren't built to rank. Dinehere builds a professional, SEO-optimised restaurant site designed to be found on Google.
Your Own Domain
Google Sites needs a paid Workspace plan for a proper custom domain. Dinehere gives you a custom domain as standard.
Built for Restaurants
Google Sites is a blank, generic builder. Dinehere parses your menu and assembles a restaurant site for you.
Common questions
While Google Sites is free, it lacks restaurant-specific design and local SEO optimization. Dinehere builds a professional, menu-focused site designed specifically to help local diners find your business and read your menu clearly.
If you are using a free sites.google.com URL, you cannot transfer it directly. However, Dinehere provides a custom subdomain, giving you a much cleaner and more professional web address for your restaurant.
Google Sites is free if you don't use a custom domain. Dinehere costs A$59/month or A$590/year (with two months free), which includes all hosting, mobile-responsive menu generation, and professional local SEO setup.
Yes. With Google Sites, you have to manually format text boxes that often break on mobile screens. Dinehere automatically parses your menu photos into a clean, easy-to-read format optimized for smartphones.
Not at all. With Dinehere, you just upload your menu photos and type in your business details. The system builds the single-page site for you in about 10 minutes without any drag-and-drop design required.
Google Sites is notoriously barebones for Search Engine Optimization. Dinehere is structured specifically for local search, helping hungry diners in your area find your opening hours, location, and menu quickly on Google.
Neither Dinehere nor Google Sites has built-in online ordering or payment processing. Dinehere focuses purely on providing the best digital storefront to showcase your menu and contact details beautifully.
Since you just need your menu photos and basic contact info, you can be live on Dinehere in under 15 minutes. It is a nearly instant upgrade to your online presence.
No, your A$59/month subscription includes all necessary hosting. In contrast, making Google Sites look professional with a custom domain often requires purchasing a paid Google Workspace plan and external domain registration.
