A Letter from Our CEO: Announcing DINR Premium
To Our Community,
We’ve always been committed to connecting our guests with the best restaurants and most memorable dining experiences. Today, I’m thrilled to announce some important changes to the future of DINR. These developments have been in the works for months and I’m so excited to finally share them with you all.
The DINR Business Model
When DINR first launched, its only source of revenue was a modest flat fee charged to restaurants to cover basic costs. We've now grown beyond those early days, offering culinary event ticketing, curated wine bundles, and forming meaningful brand partnerships.
DINR Partner - Enoteca Sociale
As we’ve evolved, we’ve taken time to reflect on our journey and what matters most to us. Our mission has always been to curate the very best restaurants, and we believe that this shouldn't come with a cost for our restaurant partners. That’s why, starting January 1, 2025, we will no longer charge restaurants any monthly fees to be part of the DINR network.
This shift reaffirms our commitment to ensuring that every restaurant invitation to join the DINR network is based purely on merit. We believe this is the right move for our partners, our users, and the future of DINR.
The Future of DINR
Though we’re a tech company at heart, the real magic of DINR lies in the connections we help create—whether it’s a date night, catching up with friends, or discovering a new city. It means the world to us to be a trusted guide for these special moments. There’s nothing we love more than hearing about the incredible experiences our members unlock through DINR.
