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.

BillShare & Contactless Guest Payments

Speed up table turns with mobile bill viewing, equal or itemized splitting, and instant checkout

Overview

BillShare removes friction from the final step of dining. Guests scan a table QR code to view live checks, split bills effortlessly, and pay with M-Pesa STK push or Card without waiting for staff.

Step-by-Step Guide

How BillShare Works at the Table

When diners are ready to settle their check, they simply scan the QR code placed on their table. The live bill opens instantly on their phone browser with no app download required, displaying all ordered items and charges.

Equal or Item-by-Item Bill Splitting

Guests can choose how they wish to pay: settle the entire bill, split the total equally among any number of diners, or select specific menu items they ordered. Each diner pays their own portion seamlessly on their own phone.

M-Pesa STK Push & Card Processing

Guests can pay using M-Pesa STK push by entering their phone number for an instant PIN prompt on their mobile device, or checkout with credit and debit cards (Apple Pay and Google Pay included). The table status updates to Paid immediately on the Floor Console.

Automated Accounting & Payouts

All guest payments settle directly into your configured payout bank account or Stripe account. Track transaction ledgers, download PDF receipts, and export clean CSV reports anytime from Dashboard > Receipts.

Pro Tips

Place durable acrylic QR code stands on each table for quick guest scanning
Encourage bill splitting for large parties to avoid staff having to calculate split checks manually
Monitor table status in real time: tables turn to Paid the second the guest completes payment
