Restaurants should keep
more of what they take

Dinetap builds the payments and software that food and beverage businesses run on, and works to bring down what they pay to take a card. We started in Singapore, and now we are bringing Dinetap to Australia.

Lower card costs, for every restaurant

Every restaurant pays to take cards, and on its own a single outlet has little say in what that costs. So we pool the card volume of every outlet on Dinetap, negotiate better rates with licensed payment providers, and pass the savings on.

The card terminal and the POS software come free on your account. You pay per transaction, with no rental and no monthly fee.

Built by people who know the room

“A fully remote tech and sales culture is a superpower, and Dinetap is a prime example of harnessing it.” Jude Kumar, at the Stripe World Tour in Singapore

Race weekend, four years running

The Singapore Grand Prix is the busiest service there is: queues that never stop, no second chances, and every payment has to go through first time. Food & beverage vendors have run it on Dinetap every year since 2023.
