Where We Came From
Dine Local started out life in the Niagara Region as “Dine Niagara”, and was created to support our local restaurants by offering the convenience of the major food ordering apps but with more predictable costs to the restaurant and more transparent costs to the consumer. Dine Local charges no commissions to our restaurant partners, so 100 of your order goes to the restaurant.
What Does That Mean For You?
Because we keep our costs low, Dine Local strongly discourages “markups” on pricing on our platform, so you can order with confidence that the price you are paying is the same as ordering direct.
We also don’t charge any “service” or “convenience” fees to use the platform. You’re doing the work to order, you shouldn’t have to pay more!
Our delivery fees may appear higher than you’ll find on other platforms, but that goes back to our commitment on transparency. We simply show you the actual cost of delivery rather than subsidizing it with high markups, service fees, and commissions to the restaurant. For example, a $10 appetizer ordered in-store may cost you $15 plus a $1.99 service fee and a $3.99 delivery fee for a total of $20.89 on another platform (and that service fee continues to grow). With Dine Local you would pay just $10 plus $8.49 delivery (depending on your location) for $18.49. Order more… save more.
We encourage our customers to compare our pricing with the big apps. While we may not always be the cheapest, we are always the lowest cost provider that takes the least out of the transaction. Ordering with Dine Local means supporting local with more money going to the restaurant.
Dine Local… Support Local… Everywhere!
Currently Dine Local is available to restaurants across Ontario, and we will soon be launching our service across Canada.
More Than Just Food
Because we have built connections to multiple delivery service providers, the Dine Local platform can provide reliable local delivery for more than just food! If you operate any type of business that requires local delivery, the Dine Local platform can offer you reliable, GPS tracked, 24/7 delivery services through our delivery app. Simply use our simple web-based interface to get delivery quotes and request and schedule delivery drivers and we will take care of the rest.
