Menuthere vs ダイニー (dinii)
ダイニー (dinii) is a Japanese restaurant system built around QR table ordering. Guests scan a fixed table QR code and order on their own phone from a menu with photos and videos; guests who use LINE become members of the restaurant's LINE account. It also offers a linked POS, customer CRM, card payment on the phone, a reservation book and staff scheduling. It is sold to restaurants in Japan, from single shops to large chains, and Dinii says it is used in 3,000 stores. Prices are quote-only. Card payment on the guest's phone costs 2.48% for Visa and Mastercard and 3.10% for JCB and Diners Club.
Quote only
Quote only. Dinii publishes no prices. Its FAQ says setup and monthly fees depend on the products and plan chosen, and asks restaurants to request a quote. The campaign terms name three plans: 全機能コミュニケーションプラン (Communication), 全機能ライトプラン (Light) and 全機能スタンダードプラン (Standard). New customers on those plans can get an equipment set worth up to ¥400,000 free, subject to screening. Card payment on the guest's phone: 2.48% Visa/Mastercard, 3.10% JCB/Diners Club.
Not published
Not published. Penalty if terms broken
Not published. The equipment-offer terms say a penalty may be charged, as set out in the application form, if the offer's conditions are broken.
Equipment free for new customers (with screening)
Quote only. New customers who have never used Dinii's mobile order, POS or attendance services can get the standard equipment free, subject to screening: an iPad Wi-Fi register, Android handhelds, a thermal printer with a kitchen buzzer and a cash drawer, with a one-year device warranty. Dinii decides how many devices, up to a cap. The offer cannot be combined with government subsidies.

The archived December 2023 plans charged 14.3% (Light), 6.6% (Standard) or 4.29% (Professional) of each order, and DIRIGIO's December 2023 release describes its pricing as a subscription combined with a fee; a 2022 help-centre article gave DIRIGIO's fee as 11% down to 0.99%. |
| Contract | Month to month; 7-day free trial on Lite and Pro | No locked-in contract; cancel or switch plans anytime (US pricing page and General Terms). Outside the US, paid Square Online plans are priced per month billed annually, with a different price if paid monthly, and plans can be switched at any time. | Takeout Order: no contract term, cancel any time. Table Order: one-year contract paid monthly (¥11,000 on a monthly contract); no cancellation mid-term unless STORES agrees, service stops at the next renewal, and fees are not refunded. The plan terms renew contracts automatically unless the restaurant declines before the term ends. | One-year term from the start date, renewing automatically a year at a time unless notice is given 2 months before the end. The customer can cancel mid-term by notice, but fees already paid are not refunded and charges already incurred stay due (Smaregi terms of use, articles 7 and 8). | One-year contract from the month of application, renewing automatically a year at a time. No change of term or cancellation mid-contract, fees are not refunded, and notice must reach Recruit by the 1st of the month before the renewal month (Airレジ オーダー terms, articles 3 and 6). | Fixed term set by the plan, renewing automatically on the same terms unless the restaurant declines at least one month before the end; no cancellation mid-term and fees are not refunded (PICKS seller terms, last updated 2 February 2022). KAERUN's listing gives the Standard plan as a one-year contract. |
