Common questions
Yes, absolutely. You own your domain name. Once your Dinehere site is ready (usually in minutes), we provide simple instructions to point your existing domain from your registrar to our servers.
No, and that is by design. Dinehere removes the burden of design choices. Our AI automatically lays out your menu, photos, and information in a mobile-optimised format so you don't have to spend hours tweaking margins or fonts.
Dinehere is focused purely on displaying your menu and bringing customers to your door. We do not offer built-in reservation widgets. However, we clearly display your phone number and address, encouraging direct contact.
On Squarespace, you often have to manually type out changes or formatting. With Dinehere, you can simply upload a photo of your new printed menu, or make quick text edits in our simple dashboard without worrying about breaking the page layout.
Yes. Every Dinehere site is built to be 'mobile-first'. Because we use a specific layout designed for digital menus, customers on phones get a fast, legible experience without you having to adjust mobile settings manually.
Dinehere is optimised for local SEO (Google Maps and Search). While Squarespace offers advanced SEO tools for bloggers, Dinehere handles the technical essentials automatically to help locals find your menu and opening hours.
No, Dinehere hosts your website only. If you have email set up through your domain registrar or Google Workspace, switching your website to us won't affect your email service.
No. If e-commerce is a critical part of your revenue, Squarespace is the better choice. Dinehere is built for restaurants that primarily want to showcase their food and location to drive foot traffic.
