DineBook is a complete restaurant management platform by Naifeast. Restaurants take reservations, run the floor in real time, publish an orderable QR menu, send tickets to a kitchen display, take M-Pesa payments, split bills, and manage guests, loyalty and marketing from one dashboard.

How much does DineBook cost?

DineBook has four plans: a free Starter plan (up to 50 reservations a month), Essentials for unlimited reservations, the Live Floor Console and guest CRM, Growth which adds QR table ordering, the Kitchen Display, bill splitting and Naya AI, and Enterprise for multi-location groups. New restaurants get a 30-day free trial of Growth. No commission, cancel anytime. See the pricing page for current rates.

Does DineBook support M-Pesa?

Yes. DineBook is built for the Kenyan market and supports M-Pesa for deposits, pre-payments and paying the bill at the table. Deposits settle directly to the restaurant's own account.

Can guests order from their phone with DineBook?

Yes. Every table gets a QR code. Guests scan it, browse your live menu, and order from their phone. Tickets go straight to the Kitchen Display, and everyone at the table shares one bill they can split and pay by M-Pesa or card.

Does DineBook replace my POS?

DineBook covers front of house end to end: reservations, the floor, menu, ordering, the kitchen display, bills and payments. It also runs alongside an existing POS, with settings for manual entry or a connected provider.

What is Naya, the AI assistant?

Naya is DineBook's AI voice reservations agent. Guests can have a natural voice conversation with Naya to book a table 24/7. She handles date, time, party size, dietary requests, and confirmation.

How long does it take to set up DineBook?

Most restaurants are live in under 10 minutes. Sign up, add your tables and reservation link, and start taking bookings the same day.

Overview

Data is your most powerful tool for revenue optimization. Discover how DineBook's analytics and automated AI insights help you make profitable operational decisions.

Step-by-Step Guide

Analyze Covers & Peak Dining Windows

Monitor your total seated covers, average party sizes, and busiest dining hours in Dashboard > Analytics. Identify shoulder periods where running special menu promotions can boost room occupancy.

Review Morning AI Operational Briefings

Check Dashboard > AI Insights every morning. Naya AI automatically synthesizes your upcoming bookings, table turn forecasts, returning VIPs, and guest dietary alerts into an actionable operational briefing.

Speed Up Table Turns with BillShare

Waiting for a paper bill and card machine typically takes 10 to 15 minutes per table. By letting guests scan a QR code to view, split, and pay via M-Pesa or card, you turn tables faster during peak lunch and dinner rushes.

Compare Multi-Branch Performance

For restaurant groups with multiple locations, Cross-Location Analytics allows you to compare reservation volume, average spend, no-show rates, and guest loyalty across all your branches in a single dashboard.
