A booking widget, not a website
Now Book It is a popular ANZ booking system — flat monthly with no per-cover fees, used by 11,000+ restaurants — but it's a booking widget that sits on your website, not a website itself, and its NZD pricing is a sales quote. Dinehere is NZ$64/month (or NZ$640/year — 2 months free): your own website on a custom subdomain, your menu AI-parsed from a photo, a mobile-ready site live in about 10 minutes, hosting included. If you take bookings, Now Book It is a fine flat-fee choice — but it needs a website to live on, and Dinehere gives you that the same day.

A Website, Not a Booking Widget
Now Book It manages reservations; it isn't a website. Dinehere is the site diners find on Google, with your menu, hours and story — and you can embed your booking widget into it.
Transparent Flat Price

Live in 10 Minutes
Now Book It needs onboarding. With Dinehere, upload your menu photos and your website is live the same day.
