While some of Brisbane’s hospitality venues have opted to close their doors completely, many are managing to survive after completely shaking up their offerings to suit the new restrictions – though, during these incredibly tough times, commission charges and fees from ordering platforms can quickly eat into the already dwindling bottom line of venues. So, to lessen the blow, Brisbane entrepreneurs Sam McKnoulty and Eugene Went developed Dine At Home to support local venues with promoting their takeaway offerings, while also giving diners a new way to access quality food.
Unlike many platforms, it’s free for venues to be listed on Dine At Home – right now, you’ll find restaurants across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne (with Adelaide and Perth coming soon) promoting their takeaway offerings, free of charge. In the coming weeks, Dine At Home will also launch its online ordering and payment system allowing locals to pre-purchase meals and vouchers, as well as buy ready-to-cook grocery items from its growing list of participating venues. Brisbane restaurants e’cco bistro, sAme sAme, ZA ZA TA, Alchemy, Soapbox Beer, Big Roddy’s Rippin’ Rib Shack and many more are already listed – so jump to the Dine At Home website for a peek at the current takeaway menus at your favourite spots and get ordering!
