No commission, and a site that's actually yours
Order Meal is 100% Kiwi-owned and bundles a free website with its ordering platform — but that website comes funded by commission on every order, and the published rate isn't public. Dinehere is NZ$64/month (or NZ$640/year — 2 months free): a flat fee with no cut of your sales, a custom subdomain that's yours, your menu AI-parsed from a photo, and a mobile-ready site live in about 10 minutes. If online ordering is your main goal, Order Meal handles that — but if you want a simple website you control without giving up a slice of each order, Dinehere is the cleaner fit.
