Independent restaurants deserve the same tools as the big chains.
We started DinerMagnet after years of building technology for restaurants and watching owners hand a large share of every online order to apps that also own their customers. We think there's a better deal.
Three ideas behind everything we build.
Your guests are yours
The people who love your food should be able to order from you directly, and you should be able to reach them again.
Software should do the work
Owners are on the line, not in front of a laptop. AI imports the menu, writes the copy and drafts the campaigns, so setup takes an afternoon.
Fair pricing, no cut
No percentage of your sales, ever. Start at $0 a month, and move to a flat plan when you are ready for more.
Who's building DinerMagnet
Balinda Wu
Co-founder · Marketing & salesAbout 20 years in marketing and search. Spent the last two years inside restaurant POS companies, where she watched hand-built ordering sites fail to bring in orders.
Jasom Pi
Co-founder · TechnologyFormer staff engineer at Apple on Siri and on-device search. Before that, Google, where he built the first Play Movies iOS app, and Microsoft Office Mobile.
Owners kept asking us the same question.
"How do I get more online orders?" At the POS companies we worked for, websites and ordering pages were built by hand, hosted on the POS company's own domain, and rarely showed up on Google. Owners paid DoorDash and Uber Eats 15 to 30% instead.
DinerMagnet is our answer: a site the owner controls, built to be found, with ordering, an app and guest marketing that bring people back.
