Welcome to all restaurant owners & managers

We welcome restaurant owners and managers to be a part of DineOut. We can offer you tools and exposure at no charge. Your listing on DineOut can be enhanced with additional details, including website, email address, opening hours and a detailed description, plus now you can also add a menu (in PDF format) and photos too!

• How do I edit my details?
  Locate your restaurant (search or browse) and click on the Edit tab. You will require a password to access this area, that way only managers and owners can edit the details.
• How can I get hold of my password?
  For most, it's as easy as sending us an email. If your restaurant does not have it's own domain name and/or website then you may need to send us a letter on letterhead to prove ownership. We contact you as soon as we can with your password, and then it's all yours!
• What details can I change?
  You are able to edit the name, address, phone, fax, email, website, cuisine style, liquor licence, opening hours and also details about the establishment. These changes are instant, no waiting, no hassle, just edit and update. You can add as much info as you like, and as many changes as you wish.
• New - Add a menu to your listing
  Now you can add a PDF copy of your menu to your DineOut listing. Login, click the Add/Update Menu link, select your menu and upload it. It's that easy. The only restriction is that your menu must be in PDF format. There are heaps of tools to do this yourself, otherwise, if you have your menus made for you, they should be able to supply a PDF version as well.
• New - A picture paints a thousand words, and we don't have a limit!
  Yep, you can now add photos and pictures to your DineOut listing as well. Login, click the Add/Update Photos link, select your picture and upload it. You can also give each picture it's own title. We will check your pictures as you upload them, rejecting any that are too small (less than 200 pixels wide) or in non-web friendly formats (e.g. BMP). We will then resize the image to fit our layout automatically if it is wider than 550 pixels and create you a thumbnail, so you remember what it looks like. You can edit the titles at any time, add more photos or delete any you have loaded so far. You have full control, so add as many as you want. The full-size versions are viewed along with your restaurant details, making sure people know which restaurant they are looking at.
