About DirectDine

DirectDine is a restaurant ordering, loyalty and customer-database platform for South Africa. It helps restaurants take orders directly under their own brand rather than paying commission to delivery platforms.

By owning their ordering channel and customer data, restaurants can grow direct revenue, run loyalty programmes and reduce their dependence on third-party delivery apps. DirectDine publishes its pricing and sells to independent restaurants and restaurant groups that want to keep more of the margin on each order. LinkedIn data puts its headcount at between 2 and 10 employees.
