A booking system, not a website
ResDiary is a solid, commission-free booking system for ANZ restaurants — flat monthly, tiered by volume — but it's a booking widget you embed, not a website, and its NZD pricing is quote-only by region and volume. 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. The two pair well — run ResDiary for bookings if you take reservations, but you still need an actual website for it to live on, and Dinehere builds that for you the same day.
The smarter choice for restaurant owners
A Website, Not a Booking Widget
ResDiary handles reservations; it isn't a website. Dinehere is the site customers find on Google, with your menu, hours and story — and you can link your booking widget into it.
Transparent Flat Price
ResDiary's NZD pricing is quote-only by volume and region. Dinehere is NZ$64/month (or NZ$640/year — 2 months free) flat, hosting included, no per-order fees, cancel anytime.
Live in 10 Minutes
ResDiary needs setup and onboarding. With Dinehere, upload your menu photos and your website is live the same day.
