Own your site and your customers — stop renting a listing
A Zomato listing is not your own website — it's a profile page on zomato.com, where you pay roughly 18–25% commission on every delivery order (a published industry range, not a fixed fee) plus ads, and where Google ranks Zomato's domain, not yours. Zomato is a powerful place to be discovered, but you rent that visibility. Dinehere is a website you own that ranks on Google under your own brand: Dinehere is ₹299/month (or ₹2,990/year — 2 months free), with AI menu parsing from photos, live in about 10 minutes. Use both — but own your presence.
The smarter choice for restaurant owners
Own Your Customers, Not Rent Them
On Zomato you pay commission on every order and the customer is Zomato's. Dinehere is your own site — your brand, your diners.
You Rank, Not the Aggregator
Zomato ranks zomato.com. Dinehere builds a site on your own domain, structured for local SEO so Google sends diners to you.
No Per-Order Commission
Zomato takes ~18–25% per order. Dinehere is a flat ₹299/month — no cut of your sales, ever.
