Diner's Nation

Managing the webpage is very simple and user friendly. It's similar to making an email account, but a little more time consuming. It shouldn't take anymore than 20 minutes to sign up and enter all the required information. Once you get your username and password you can login anytime you like to update or change the profile.

The basic listing service is no charge. Premium listings are available for $29.99 per month and include extra features such as online reservations and event calenders. All the features can be viewed on our Services page.

Prices for advertising vary by time and placement. Please email us at advertising@dinersnation.com for assistance. This way we can help you find the right program that fits your needs and budget.

Yes! You can call or email our customer service and ask any questions you like. We are here to help and make things as simple as possible.

Of course it can! We encourage owners and managers to make profiles and use them as their homepage. They can save a bunch of cash, which can amount in the $1,000 range (not to mention the maintenance fees every month). You even get to make your own website name so it will be simple to tell your guest where to find you on the web. Just tell them www.dinersnation.com/your name here.

If you do not get your confirmation email, it could be a few different reasons. One reason could be that your spam prevention for your email account has blocked automated messages. You will have to check your spam folder and see if the email was redirected there. Another reason is that our server IP address is not Whitelisted. In other words, we have not been verified through your email provider as a "safe sender." If this is the case, contact Dinersnation.com so we can register ourselves with your email provider. If all else fails, you can always contact Dinersnation.com and we will gladly send you the information you need to complete registration.

For Basic Members: Please contact us with your login ID and the name of your business. We will cancel your account once the submission is received.

For Premium Members: In order to cancel your account without being further billed, please contact us before the next billing cycle so your credit card is not charged. Make sure you supply your Login ID and the name of your restaurant upon submission so we can locate your account.

Guests per interval means how many guests are allowed during that time frame. For example, lets say you allow 10 reservations at 6:00pm. If 2 of those reservations were made for 10 people each, you will need to regulate how many people per party are allowed in order to properly staff the situation. If you set the interval at 20 people max during that 6:00pm interval, the system will not allow anymore reservations during that time period.

Reservation per interval is how many reservations you allow per time interval.

The reservation system will send a confirmation email to the guest and the restaurant once a reservation is made. The confirmation email will be sent immediately once the reservation is made, but may take up to 10 minutes to be received. If you do not receive the email, please check you bulk or junk mail folder to see if it was filtered. A good tip is to add the reservation email address to your contact list in your email account. This will guarantee delivery each time.

Since we do not allow video uploading on Dinersnation, you will have to find a website that does. We recommend Youtube.com or Tastyfood.tv. They are both free services. Once you upload your video to these websites, there will be a field on the same page of the video that says, "embed." You will copy the code and login to your Dinersnation account. Once logged into your account, you will past the code in the box that says "video embed." Your video should place neatly into your profile. If you have any problems, you can always contact Dinersnation for help.

This happens because the picture you have uploaded may not be supported or is too large. JPEG and GIF are the most commonly used file extensions. If the picture does not work, simply try using another one. If the problem insists, you can contact us for help.

This can be because of two reasons.

1. Your picture has a file extension not supported by our software. Make sure the file extension is a GIF or JPEG. BMP are not supported and will show in black.

2. Your photo is too large and you need to minimize it.

This could happen for a few different reasons. First of all, the picture may be too large. A simple correction is to just find another picture. If you are pretty good with computers, you can resize the image with a photo editing program.

This is because you are uploading a file format that is not supported by our system. Trying using a different file format instead.

If the video doesn't fit, it is probably a coding issuing. verify that your code begins with the word "embed" and ends with "/a". If your code follows these simple guidelines, your video or slide show should fit nicely!

This means you have too much information stored in your private files (cookies and cache). On your browser, you will need to locate where your private files are stored and delete them.

Yes you can, but only one of those events will be available when you click on the selected calender date.

Simple contact us and let us know what is wrong and we will fix it for you at no charge.

Dinersnation is actually a very safe website. We protect your information and will NEVER sell it to a third party. You have the opportunity to opt out of our email newsletters by simply un-checking the box during sign up. I would also like to mention that our payment processor, 2 Checkout, is part of the better business bureau and Hacker Safe networks. You are in good hands with us!

Dinersnation has different ways of letting management know that their listing is working for them. Most of our users experience search engine exposure within the first two weeks of being listed. We also have a feature in which management can create coupons to post on their listing so patrons can print out and bring in. If this is not enough, you can always check your page stats by logging into your Dinersnation account.

Dinersnation doesn't measure its effectiveness solely on how many visitors the website receives. Because a majority of our traffic is from search engines, we only promote the restaurants that are registered with us. After each account is created, we look at each "keyword" that represents your business. Then we let major search engines like Google and Yahoo help market those keywords to your potential customers. In addition, each listing has its own potential by actively updating its information. For Example: If you make a listing with us and never update the information or photos, the patron may think the listing is outdated and go to the next one. Our research has shown that active listings receive much higher search engine ranking and views. The great thing about our service is that we give you the opportunity to make the most out of your Dinersnation listing. As of December of 2007, Dinersnation has over 500 active listings nationwide and receives over 10,000 visits monthly. Our web traffic growth rate is approximately 15% each month. Please contact us for more specific information regarding traffic details.

Dinersnation charges $99.99 per year (27 cents per day), or upgrade to our PREMIUM service for $199.99 which includes an online reservation system and complimentary banner ads. View our features by clicking here.
