Common questions
Not at all. With Dinehere, you simply upload photos of your physical menu, and our system builds the site for you. Owner.com requires software training and dashboard management, whereas Dinehere requires zero technical skills.
No, Dinehere offers clear regional pricing. Canadian restaurants pay exactly C$54/month or C$540/year, whereas Owner.com bills in USD which can cause your monthly expenses to fluctuate based on exchange rates.
Dinehere does not host loyalty programs or store customer marketing data. You should export your customer lists from Owner.com before canceling if you plan to use a standalone email marketing tool in the future.
Dinehere does not provide online ordering carts. If you still want to offer takeout, your Dinehere site will display your phone number prominently so customers can call in their orders directly.
There are no setup fees ever. You only pay the flat C$54/month or C$540/year subscription rate, which includes your web hosting and instant site generation.
Instead of logging into a massive dashboard to manually change prices or item descriptions, you just take a new photo of your updated printed menu. Dinehere parses the photo and updates your site automatically.
Yes. Dinehere optimizes your single-page website for search engines so local diners can easily find your menu, address, and hours when they search for you on Google.
If you run a traditional dine-in restaurant, a food truck, or a cafe where people order in person, you likely do not need complex e-commerce features. Dinehere saves you thousands of dollars annually while still providing a professional online presence.
