A restaurant-specific site, not a generic builder
Weebly is a cheap, ageing DIY builder — free tier, paid plans roughly £8-20/month — but it's a general-purpose canvas you assemble yourself, with no menu parsing. Dinehere is £29/month (or £290/year — 2 months free), purpose-built for restaurants: your menu AI-parsed from photos, a mobile-ready site with hours, location and local SEO, live in about 10 minutes, hosting included, cancel anytime. You pay a little more to skip the design work and get a site built for a restaurant rather than a blank, dated template.

Common questions
Weebly's free tier includes platform ads and a non-professional domain, and building your menu manually takes hours. Dinehere is built exclusively for restaurants, extracting your menu from photos and instantly creating a professional, ad-free site, saving you valuable time.
Not at all. With Weebly, you need an eye for design to drag and drop elements into place. With Dinehere, you just upload photos of your menu and provide your basic details, and the platform handles the rest.
Yes. If you purchased a custom domain through Weebly or a third-party registrar, you can easily point it to your new Dinehere site to keep your established brand identity.
On Weebly, you must manually edit text boxes, align prices, and format new items so they look right on desktop and mobile. With Dinehere, you simply upload a new photo of your updated menu, and the AI parses and updates your online menu automatically.
No, Dinehere focuses strictly on providing a highly visible, professional online menu and contact page. If you require integrated e-commerce or direct online ordering, Weebly is a better fit.
Absolutely. While Weebly sites are mobile-responsive, complex drag-and-drop layouts sometimes misalign on small screens. Dinehere's single-page layout is hardcoded to look perfect and load quickly on all smartphones.
You can be live in about 10 minutes. Just upload your existing menu photos, fill in your hours and location, and your Dinehere site is ready to go.
Dinehere costs £29/month or £290/year, which gives you 2 months free. This simple flat fee includes hosting, AI menu parsing, and a mobile-optimized site.
