You bring your own Stripe account and keep 100% of every sale. **Menus & allergens** * **Menu builder** — menus (Lunch, Dinner, Drinks…), sections and dishes with photos, badges and multiple prices; six templates; drag-and-drop ordering with autosave. * **UK-14 allergens built in** — the 14 regulated allergens pre-loaded with icons, tooltips and a printable matrix (Natasha’s Law friendly), plus your own dietary labels. * **QR table cards** and A4 posters that open your live menu on a phone, and ** Menu / MenuItem / LocalBusiness schema.org** output for SEO. * **Opening hours** with holiday overrides and a live “open now” status. **Online ordering** * **Takeaway, collection and delivery** ordering with a diner-facing menu, dish customizations (removable ingredients, choose-your-options with prices) and printable** kitchen/bar tickets**. * **Contactless QR “order at the table”** so diners order from their phone. **Bookings & events** * **Commission-free table bookings** — a drag-and-drop floor plan with joinable tables, a public booking form (block + `[dinekit_booking]` shortcode) with live availability, waitlist and covers-per-hour pacing, deposits, and a booking diary with email notifications and printable slips. * **Set-menu events with per-guest pre-orders** via a share link — guests choose their courses and flag allergens; the kitchen gets a consolidated prep sheet. **Payments, guests & staff** * **Card payments with your own Stripe keys** (encrypted at rest) — booking deposits and order payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay. You keep 100%. * **Guest CRM** — repeat-visit history with the allergies diners have told you about, carried across every visit. * **Staff logins** with a role-to-permission matrix and an activity/audit log, plus review-request emails to win diners back. No WooCommerce required and no page builder needed. The menu, allergens and QR codes work with no external accounts; card payments use your own Stripe account (see External Services below). Works with any theme, on any host. Built by [Web Level Up](https://weblevelup.co.uk/), a UK web agency that builds commercial WordPress software. ### External services DineKit’s optional payments feature (booking deposits and online order payments) uses **Stripe** to take card payments. Stripe is contacted only after you enable it and enter your own Stripe API keys under DineKit Integrations, and only on requests that involve a payment: * When a diner pays, DineKit asks Stripe to create a payment by sending the amount, currency, your site URL and the related booking/order reference to Stripe’s API( https://api.stripe.com). * When you connect Stripe or set up its webhook, DineKit calls Stripe to validate your keys and register payment notifications. * On pages where a payment can be made, Stripe’s official Stripe.js library is loaded from https://js.stripe.com so card details are entered directly with Stripe and never reach your server (PCI SAQ-A). If you do not enable payments, DineKit makes no external requests. Stripe is a third- party service; by using it you agree to Stripe’s terms and privacy policy: * Terms: https://stripe.com/legal * Privacy: https://stripe.com/privacy ### Development DineKit is open source (GPLv2+). The complete human-readable source — including the React admin application and the build tooling used to generate the bundled ` dist/main.js` — is publicly available and maintained at: https://github.com/nikutx/dinekit To build the admin app from source: `npm install` then `npm run build` (Vite).
