A website you own, not just a reservation widget
Resy's top tier runs about $249/month (roughly $14,940 over 5 years) for reservations and a marketplace profile — it isn't a website you own, and there's no menu page or SEO of your own. Dinehere is $39/month (or $390/year — 2 months free), about $1,950 over 5 years for a restaurant website with AI menu parsing from photos, your own subdomain, and hosting included. A booking tool, not a website — if you need reservations, keep Resy and link to it from a real Dinehere site.
The smarter choice for restaurant owners
A Website You Own, Not a Listing
Resy gives you a reservation widget and a spot in its marketplace. Dinehere is $39/month (or $390/year — 2 months free) gives you a restaurant website on your own subdomain — menu, hours, story — that Google can find.
Built Around Your Menu
Resy manages bookings, not a menu page. Dinehere parses your menu from photos and lays out a mobile-ready site automatically.
Reservations? Just Link Out
Keep Resy for bookings if you need it. Dinehere adds a prominent 'Reserve' button linking to Resy — you get a real website and your reservation tool, each doing its own job.
Common questions
Not at all. Many restaurants use Dinehere to build their official website and simply add a link to their Resy page for reservations. They serve two different purposes perfectly.
No, Dinehere does not have a built-in reservation system. We focus entirely on building a simple, beautiful website for your restaurant to display your menu and hours.
Yes, Dinehere is just $39/month or $390/year (which gives you 2 months free). Resy's plans can run up to $249/month because it includes complex table management software.
Resy focuses on bookings, not menu SEO. Dinehere builds a dedicated website that makes your menu, hours, and story highly visible on search engines like Google.
Very easy. You can set up a Dinehere site in 10 minutes by simply uploading photos of your menu. It is ready to go without any technical skills required.
Dinehere does not plug into a diner network. If acquiring diners through the Resy app is crucial for your business, you should keep Resy for bookings alongside your Dinehere website.
Yes, Dinehere provides a custom subdomain hosting setup. This gives you a professional online presence that a simple marketplace listing cannot match.
If you do not take reservations, paying for Resy does not make sense. Dinehere is the perfect fit to display your menu and hours for a flat, affordable fee.
