Delivery apps and your own tables are different

Delivery apps can bring you customers you would never have met, and many restaurants choose to pay for that. It is a fair decision to make with your own numbers.

Your dining room is different. The guest already chose you and walked in. Nothing should come off that bill just because they ordered from a phone.

Check these before choosing any ordering system

• Is there a percentage on each order, or a flat fee?
• Are there extra charges for payments, and who collects them?
• Who owns the guest list if you leave?
• Can you export your data or stop whenever you want?

What Dinebo costs

• Your digital menu is free forever.
• The Orders plan, for table ordering and a kitchen screen, is $2 a month.
