Common questions
BentoBox allows you to export your customer lists and order histories before you cancel. Since Dinehere focuses purely on your online presence rather than marketing software, you should save this data locally or import it into your preferred email marketing tool.
Not at all. BentoBox often involves a lengthy design phase and setup fees, but Dinehere automates the design process. You simply upload your menu photos and business details, and our system generates a professional, mobile-ready site instantly.
Dinehere does not integrate directly with POS systems, as we focus solely on displaying your menu and contact details. If you use a POS for online ordering, we can simply link to your external ordering page from your Dinehere site.
Managing a Dinehere site takes mere minutes a month. While BentoBox requires navigating a complex content management system for updates, Dinehere lets you change your menu just by uploading a new picture.
Dinehere does not have built-in e-commerce or payment processing. If selling physical merchandise or digital gift cards is a large part of your revenue, BentoBox is better equipped to handle those transactions natively.
We offer highly responsive email support to keep our costs low at £29/month. Because Dinehere is so incredibly simple to use and has no complex software to break, our users rarely find themselves needing emergency technical support.
No, your Dinehere site will use our optimized, single-page layout rather than BentoBox's multi-page custom designs. It will look professional, load incredibly fast, and match your brand colors, but the structure will be simpler and easier to navigate.
No. Your £29/month or £290/year subscription includes secure hosting and an SSL certificate. There are no hidden fees or surprise renewals, unlike some enterprise platforms that charge extra for essential add-ons.
