FREE vs STARTER vs PRO: Which Dineza Plan Fits Your Restaurant?

By GuixJoypricing, plans, guide

FREE — ₹0: the digital menu

Digital menu plus table QR codes. Guests browse on their phones; you never reprint a menu again. Best for restaurants that want to modernize the table experience before committing to online ordering.

STARTER — ₹999/month: the operating system

Everything in FREE, plus online ordering, order management, the merchant dashboard with food images, and basic analytics. This is the full day-to-day operating tier — most single-outlet restaurants land here and stay here happily.

PRO — ₹1,999/month: growth mode

Everything in STARTER, plus digital payments with visible payment status, AI recommendations, geolocation-gated ordering, and advanced analytics with exports. Choose PRO when payments and data-driven decisions become weekly habits rather than nice-to-haves.

When to upgrade

  • FREE → STARTER: the week you want guests to order from their phones instead of flagging staff.
  • STARTER → PRO: the week you reconcile payments manually, or the week "how are we doing?" needs more than a gut answer.

When not to

A quiet café that only needs a beautiful menu should stay on FREE without guilt — that tier exists for exactly that. Upgrade when the work demands it, not before.
