COMMUNITY QUESTIONS
Before you
pull up a chair.
Who can join the community?
Restaurant owners can apply. We review company details and restaurant ownership before approving access to the shared wall and member conversations.
Is community membership free?
Yes. Community membership is free after approval. No payment card or booking subscription is required, and applying for the community does not start a booking trial.
What information do I need to apply?
You’ll need your contact details, restaurant name and address, legal company details, a tax or company registration number, and a restaurant website or public listing. You must confirm that you own the restaurant and are authorised to register its company.
Who can see my posts and messages?
Posts and comments on the shared wall are visible to approved community members. Direct messages are shared with the owner you are speaking to. Keep private guest information out of community discussions.
How do private conversations work?
Inside the community, find an owner in the member list and select their profile to open a private conversation. The shared wall remains a separate place for group discussions.
Do I need to use the DineLumen booking system?
No. You can join the community on its own. Community membership remains free if you later choose to try the booking system or if a booking trial or subscription ends.
