DineKit Goes Worldwide: One Free Restaurant Plugin
July 25, 2026 · 3 min read
DineKit started life helping UK restaurants take orders and bookings without paying commission. Today it grows up: DineKit now works worldwide. Wherever you cook, whatever you call a postcode, DineKit fits your country instead of forcing your country to fit the plugin.
Tell DineKit where you are
It all starts in one place. Set your country and restaurant address in Settings, and DineKit adjusts itself around you. There is no separate “international edition” to buy and nothing to configure line by line — you pick your country once, and the rest follows.
That single setting quietly changes a lot behind the scenes, so the plugin speaks your customers’ language and shows your real numbers.
The right words for your country
Nothing makes software feel foreign faster than the wrong labels. A US diner does not have a “county”, and a UK chippy does not have a “ZIP code”. DineKit now uses the terms your customers actually expect, across both the admin dashboard and the delivery form your guests fill in:
- In the US, you will see ZIP code and State.
- In the UK, it is Postcode and County.
- Elsewhere, DineKit uses the more universal Postal code and region.
Small thing, big difference. When the form matches how people already think about their own address, they finish it — and you get cleaner delivery details with fewer mistakes.
Prices in your real currency
Here is an honest fix worth calling out. Previously, DineKit’s structured data assumed everyone was pricing in pounds sterling. If you traded in dollars, euros, rupees or anything else, the machine-readable version of your menu quietly disagreed with your prices.
That is now fixed. Your menus show prices in your real currency through structured data, so what search engines and other services read matches exactly what your customers see on the plate. No workarounds, no editing code — it follows from the country and settings you already chose.
Better local SEO, wherever you trade
Your address is not just for deliveries. DineKit turns it into Google-friendly LocalBusiness structured data — street, city, postal code, region and country — so search engines understand exactly who you are and where you serve.
The payoff is the same everywhere: a clearer signal that you are a real restaurant in a real place. That helps you show up for hungry people nearby, whether “nearby” means a London high street or a neighbourhood on the other side of the world. It is one of many things covered in our all features overview if you want the full picture.
Allergen labelling that knows your region
Allergen rules are not the same across borders, and getting them wrong is not just awkward — it can be serious. DineKit’s allergen labelling is region-aware, so it lines up with the rules that apply where you are.
The UK’s 14 allergens under Natasha’s Law are one example. The EU-14 are another, and there is support for more beyond that. It was built in from the start, and it stays free. You label your dishes once, and DineKit presents them in a way your local guidance expects.
Everything else just works, anywhere
The going-global update changes the parts that need to be local. Everything that made DineKit useful in the first place works exactly the same, in any country:
- Digital menus and QR-code ordering at the table
- Table bookings
- Commission-free online ordering — you keep your margin
- Card payments through your own Stripe account
- The built-in POS and kitchen display
No per-order fees, no upsell to unlock your own country. One free plugin, now genuinely at home wherever your restaurant is.
Ready when you are
If you already run DineKit, set your country and address and watch the wording, currency and structured data fall into place. If you are new, this is a good moment to start — the same tools that quietly run restaurants in the UK are ready for yours, in your currency, in your words.
