A current, restaurant-specific site
Weebly is cheaper than Dinehere — roughly NZ$17–43/month (converted from USD), with a free tier — but it's a generic builder you assemble yourself, and its owner Square is steering users toward Square Online, so its future is uncertain. Dinehere is NZ$64/month (or NZ$640/year — 2 months free), purpose-built for restaurants and actively developed: your menu AI-parsed from a photo, a mobile-ready site live in about 10 minutes, hosting included, cancel anytime. Weebly is the cheaper sticker price; Dinehere is the restaurant-specific site that builds itself.
The smarter choice for restaurant owners
Built for Restaurants, Not Everything
Weebly is a generic, budget builder. Dinehere is purpose-built for restaurants — AI menu parsing and a layout designed to bring in diners, at Dinehere is NZ$64/month (or NZ$640/year — 2 months free).
No Design Skills Needed
Weebly still hands you a template to fill in yourself. Dinehere's AI generates a polished, professional design automatically.
Launch in 10 Minutes, Not Days
Even a simple Weebly site means picking a template and typing your menu. With Dinehere, upload your menu photos and you're live the same day.
Common questions
Yes. You can easily point your custom domain to Dinehere. If you purchased the domain through Weebly, you just need to update your DNS settings in your Weebly dashboard.
No, Dinehere does not have e-commerce or payment integrations. Weebly is a better choice if you need to process retail transactions directly on your website using Square.
On Weebly, you must manually type out every menu item, description, and price into text blocks. With Dinehere, you simply upload photos of your menu, and our system parses and formats it automatically.
Weebly's starter plans can be cheaper, ranging from ~NZ$17 to NZ$43/month. Dinehere costs a flat NZ$64/month (or NZ$640/year), which reflects the specialized restaurant design and the massive amount of time saved by not having to build or update the site manually.
Weebly templates are mobile-responsive, but complex layouts can sometimes break or look cluttered on small screens. Dinehere's single-page layout is purpose-built to look perfect on mobile devices, where most diners search.
Since Dinehere automates the design and menu parsing, you can set up your new site in about 10 minutes. It takes much less time than redesigning a template or typing out your menu on Weebly.
Dinehere does not include built-in online ordering. If you need robust online ordering directly through your website, Weebly's Square integration might be a better fit.
You can cancel your Dinehere subscription at any time without hidden fees. You own your domain and can always move it to another provider if your needs change.
