A restaurant-specific site, done for you
Wix is cheaper than Dinehere on the sticker price — from roughly NZ$28/month (converted from US$17, billed annually) — but it's a general-purpose builder you assemble and maintain yourself, with no menu parsing. Dinehere is NZ$64/month (or NZ$640/year — 2 months free), purpose-built for restaurants: your menu AI-parsed from a photo, a mobile-ready site live in about 10 minutes, hosting included, cancel anytime. You're paying a little more to skip the design work and get a site built for a restaurant rather than a blank canvas.
The smarter choice for restaurant owners
Built for Restaurants, Not Everything
Wix is a general-purpose builder you assemble yourself. 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
Wix's drag-and-drop editor still expects you to design and arrange everything. Dinehere's AI creates a polished, professional layout for you.
Launch in 10 Minutes, Not Days
Building a Wix site takes hours or days of design and mobile tweaking. With Dinehere, upload your menu photos and your site is live the same day.
Common questions
Not at all. Because Dinehere automatically generates your site using your menu photos and basic details, you don't need to rebuild any complex layouts. Simply upload your menu, add your hours, and point your domain to Dinehere.
While Wix's base price appears lower, it requires you to be the web designer, developer, and menu updater. Dinehere's NZ$64/month (or NZ$640/year) covers a fully automated, restaurant-specific build with AI menu parsing, saving you hours of frustrating manual labor.
Yes. You retain full ownership of your custom domain. You just need to log into your domain registrar and update the DNS settings to point to your new Dinehere website.
Yes. Dinehere focuses strictly on providing a clean, simple informational website and does not offer built-in online ordering or e-commerce. If your business relies heavily on native website ordering, Wix is the better platform for you.
On Wix, you must manually edit text boxes or re-upload PDF files every time a price changes. With Dinehere, you just snap a photo of your updated printed menu, and our AI updates your digital menu text automatically.
No. Unlike Wix, where you often have to tweak the mobile layout separately from the desktop view, Dinehere's designs are automatically responsive and perfectly optimized for smartphones right out of the box.
Dinehere does not include native reservation tools. However, you can easily add a link to a third-party platform like SevenRooms or OpenTable. If you need a fully integrated, built-in reservation calendar, Wix is the stronger choice.
Yes, but in a much simpler way. Dinehere automatically structures your site, menu items, and location data so Google can easily read them. Wix requires you to manually configure your SEO settings and meta tags.
