From first discovery to the next order
A new diner today.
Your regular tomorrow.
Give customers two ways to reach you: discover your restaurant on Dine, or message your business directly on WhatsApp. Your team stays in control of the food, the service and the delivery.
Reach diners who have not tried you yet
Diners explore nearby restaurants on Dine or ask its food assistant for a dish, cuisine or meal that fits their budget. Your menu gives them a reason to choose you, even if they have never heard your name.
Turn a conversation into an order
On your restaurant's WhatsApp number, the assistant answers menu questions, handles portions and add-ons, and builds the order with your prices. Customers can order in English, Hindi or Telugu, and you can step into the conversation when needed.
Keep service under your control
Orders arrive in your restaurant console, ready to accept or reject. Set your opening hours, preparation time and order capacity, then mark food ready as it leaves the kitchen. Unaccepted orders time out so customers are not left waiting indefinitely.
Send it with your own riders
Your restaurant handles delivery. Set your delivery area and rate, assign your rider, and keep the diner informed as the order moves from kitchen to doorstep. Delivery charges are shown at checkout before payment.
Built for your restaurant
Get found. Take orders. Keep in touch.
A place to be discovered
Your restaurant and menu appear on Dine, where nearby diners can browse kitchens and ask for food recommendations. Discovery brings your food into the conversation before a customer knows your number.
Ordering on your own number
Connect WhatsApp Business through Meta and let the assistant take menu questions and orders. Keep using your WhatsApp Business app and reply personally when a customer needs you.
A menu you can keep current
Add dishes, prices, portions and extras, or import an existing menu. Update availability as your kitchen changes, so the assistant works from the menu you actually serve.
One place to manage service
Accept orders, manage preparation and track restaurant-run delivery from your console. Your hours and capacity settings help you keep the rush manageable.
A direct customer connection
Give regulars your restaurant's WhatsApp number and Dine listing. Their next order can begin with a message to you, and your team can pick up the conversation whenever it needs a personal touch.
More ways to bring diners back
Eligible plans add WhatsApp marketing and customer activity analytics, with reminders and additional visibility on longer terms. Campaigns reach opted-in customers; available features and campaign charges depend on your plan.
Discovery is part of Dine
Your next customer
could find you here.
A WhatsApp number helps people who already know you order. Dine also gives people who do not know you a place to find your food. Explore the marketplace from a diner's side.
Free until 1 January 2027. Then a monthly plan, with no Dine order commission.
Onboard any time before 1 January 2027 and you pay nothing until that date — however early you join. No card and no payment setup to start. It is available once per restaurant.
After that, choose a term from one to twelve months. We agree your monthly price with you during onboarding; the term you choose does not change it, it adds marketing, reminders or visibility benefits.

The questions owners ask first.
How does Dine help new customers find me?
- Dine has a restaurant discovery marketplace and a food assistant. Diners can explore nearby kitchens or ask for food by dish, cuisine and budget. They can find your listing without already having your WhatsApp number. Eligible longer-term plans also include additional visibility and priority recommendations for relevant searches.
Do I have to stop using delivery apps?
- No. You can keep your existing sales channels and use Dine for discovery and direct orders. Share your Dine listing and restaurant WhatsApp number with regulars while new diners find you through the marketplace.
Do I need a new phone number?
- You can connect an existing WhatsApp Business number and continue using the app on your phone. Our team helps the owner connect the number through Meta during setup.
Can I still reply to customers myself?
- Yes. Reply from your WhatsApp Business app and the assistant pauses, giving you room to help the customer personally. It resumes after the handover window.
What does NOKVO Dine cost?
- Nothing until 1 January 2027: onboard before that date and you pay no subscription until then, however early you join. After that it is a monthly subscription with no Dine commission on food orders. We agree your plan and its price with you during onboarding, and the term you choose changes the commitment and the included features rather than the monthly rate. Delivery, applicable taxes, payment processing and paid campaigns are separate from the subscription and are not covered by the free period.
Is my customer charged a platform fee?
- NOKVO charges a flat platform fee per order — ₹7.50 when the order is delivered and ₹5 when the diner collects it themselves. It is a flat amount per order, not per item and not a percentage. By default it is added to the diner's total and shown to them on its own line before they confirm, every time. You can choose to pay it yourself instead, and then it is not added to their total and never shown to them — it comes out of your share. An order placed from a table in your restaurant is never charged a platform fee to the diner; that one is always yours, once per sitting rather than per order.
How do orders reach my kitchen?
- Orders appear in your restaurant console for acceptance. You can accept or reject, manage preparation and mark orders ready. Your opening hours, acceptance window and capacity settings control what the kitchen takes on.
Who delivers the food?
- Your restaurant delivers with its own riders. You set the delivery area and rate during setup, and the diner sees the delivery charge before paying. Dine helps you assign riders and track delivery progress.
Does it understand Telugu and Hindi?
- Yes. The assistant answers in the language and script the diner wrote in — Telugu script, Devanagari, or romanised Hinglish — rather than pushing everyone into English.
What do I need to get started?
- Have your menu, restaurant and owner details, business documents, bank details and WhatsApp Business number ready. We help you choose a plan, set up payment, connect WhatsApp and prepare the menu. The owner accepts the restaurant terms before the kitchen goes live. Timing depends on document readiness and account setup.
Can I try Dine before paying for a plan?
- Yes — the price is ₹0 until 1 January 2027. Onboard before that date and you pay nothing until then, however early you join, with no card and no payment setup to start. It is available once per restaurant, and on 1 January 2027 new orders pause until a paid plan is activated.
Can I send offers and reminders?
- Marketing and customer activity analytics are available on plans of three months or longer. Plans of six months or longer also include order reminders. Messages go to eligible customers who have opted in, and paid campaigns show their cost before you send.
Where is NOKVO Dine available?
- Hyderabad, and we are taking kitchens now. NOKVO Dine is built and run by NOKVO AI LLP in Hyderabad, Telangana.
