Ratings and reviews

Super easy to use and lots of restaurants to choose from. Love it 💖

Some time ago, Dineplan decided to start charging a R6 platform fee for bookings with a prepayment. While I understand the requirement to fund the system, the prepayment primarily benefits the restaurant with reduced administrative overhead, and reduced no shows. I therefore don't think it's fair to push this cost onto the customer. I still use the app for bookings, but will no longer be doing prepayments through it instead contacting the restaurants directly.

efficient and quick. Its probably the best restaurant booking app
