Dinehere vs BentoBox

Dinehere does not offer built-in online ordering. If you use BentoBox's native ordering system, you would need to switch to a third-party platform (like Deliveroo, Uber Eats, or a standalone ordering link) and we can link to that from your Dinehere homepage.

No. BentoBox offers highly custom, bespoke designs which is part of why they cost significantly more. Dinehere uses a proven, single-page layout designed for speed and readability on mobile devices, ensuring your customers can find your menu and location instantly.

It is straightforward. Once your contract with BentoBox is finished, you simply update your DNS settings at your domain registrar (like GoDaddy or 123 Reg) to point to Dinehere. We provide simple instructions to help you do this.

Dinehere displays your phone number and email prominently, encouraging customers to contact you directly for large parties. However, we do not have built-in inquiry forms or event management software like BentoBox does.

BentoBox charges for a comprehensive software suite including marketing automation, inventory for merchandise, and dedicated account management. Dinehere strips away all the software bloat to provide exactly what 90% of local restaurants need: a digital menu and presence, hosted for a one-time fee.

Absolutely not. BentoBox often requires annual renewal commitments. Dinehere is a one-off payment of £299 that covers you for 5 years of hosting. There are no monthly bills to cancel and no lock-in periods.

Dinehere does not support blogging. Our focus is on a static, high-performance 'About Us' section to tell your story. If content marketing and blogging are critical to your strategy, a WordPress site or BentoBox might be a better fit.

Yes. As long as you keep your domain name and ensure your Google Business Profile is updated, your local search ranking typically remains strong. Dinehere sites are lightweight and load very fast, which is a positive factor for Google's mobile-first indexing.

With BentoBox, you log into a CMS to edit items. With Dinehere, you simply upload a photo or PDF of your new menu, and our system updates the display. It requires zero technical skill.
