A flat fee instead of a cut of every order
Square Online is genuinely free to start in Ireland — but it's an ordering site tied to Square payments, and the free tier earns its keep by taking roughly 3.3% + 30c of every transaction, with paid plans around €45–137/month (converted from USD). Dinehere is €37/month (or €370/year — 2 months free), a flat fee with no per-order cut, no payments lock-in — just a menu-and-contact website AI-parsed from a photo and live in about 10 minutes. If you want ordering tied to Square, use Square; if you just want your own simple website, Dinehere keeps it flat.
The smarter choice for restaurant owners
A Flat Fee, Not a Cut of Each Order
Square's free tier takes ~3.3% + 30c per transaction and locks you into Square payments. Dinehere is €37/month (or €370/year — 2 months free) flat, with no per-order fees and no payments tie-in.
Your Own Site, Not an Ordering Page
Square Online is built around taking orders and payments. Dinehere builds the website itself — menu, hours, location and about — in about 10 minutes from a photo.
No Payments Lock-In
Square's site only makes sense if you use Square to take payment. Dinehere works on its own, so you keep your choices open.
