SeekaHost Technologies Launches DirectDine — the All-in-One, Commission-Free Restaurant Platform Built for the UK Hospitality Industry

By

DirectDine replaces the delivery app, POS, booking tool and CRM with a single system with eight portals, one platform, zero commissions on a restaurant’s own orders.

SeekaHost Technologies Ltd., the UK-based software engineering arm of the SeekaHost group of companies, today announced the public launch of DirectDine (directdine.tech), a comprehensive, commission-free restaurant management platform designed to help independent restaurants, bars, hotels with dining facilities, and multi-site operators across the United Kingdom take full ownership of their technology stack, customer data, and profit margins.

UK restaurant owners face a fragmented and expensive technology landscape. The average independent operator today juggles a third-party delivery app charging up to 30% commission per order, a standalone POS subscription, a separate table reservation tool, a loyalty add-on, and a CRM platform, each with its own billing, login, and data silo. DirectDine was built to end that complexity.

“Restaurants in the UK are being squeezed from every direction. DirectDine was built on one simple principle: restaurant owners should own their customers, their data, and their margins, not rent them back from a marketplace at a 30% tax on every order. We built all eight portals on a single codebase so there are no integrations to babysit, no surprise fees, and no data trapped in someone else’s system.”

— Kasun Sameera, Managing Director, SeekaHost Technologies Ltd.

Eight Portals. One Platform. One Bill.

DirectDine ships with eight fully integrated portals covering every role in a restaurant operation, from the customer’s mobile browser to the kitchen line to the delivery driver’s route:

  • Customer Ordering Storefront: A mobile-first online ordering site supporting delivery and collection, branded to the restaurant.
  • Customer Account Portal: Favourites, reorder history, gift cards, loyalty points, and store credits at all in one place.
  • Admin Dashboard: 24 management panels covering reports, payments, refunds, menu management, staff, and settings under a single login.
  • Kitchen Display System (KDS): Live Kanban-style order tickets with urgency colour-coding, replacing paper tickets and kitchen printers.
  • Waiter App: PIN-authenticated table-service app allowing front-of-house staff to take orders and send them directly to the kitchen.
  • Driver Portal: Order claiming, leg-by-leg route tracking, a live delivery map, and real-time earnings for in-house delivery drivers.
  • Offline-First POS Terminal: A point-of-sale till and table reservation system that continues taking orders and payments with no internet connection, syncing every ticket automatically when connectivity is restored.
  • Customer Pickup Display: A large-screen “order ready” board for collection customers, reducing counter congestion and staff interruptions.

Zero Commissions. Flat Fee Pricing.

DirectDine charges a single flat monthly fee, not a commission on every order. Restaurants retain 100% of their order revenue beyond standard card processing fees, which are handled directly by their chosen payment provider at published rates. DirectDine never touches card data and adds no markup. All eight portals are included on every plan; operators are never charged extra to add the kitchen display, a driver, or a till.

Three tiers are available: Solo for single-site kitchens, Growth for busy independents managing up to three sites, and Group for multi-site operators requiring bespoke configuration, unlimited sites, dedicated onboarding, and a named account manager. Solo and Growth plans are billed monthly with no long-term contract.

Built for Restaurants, Bars, and Hotels Across the UK

DirectDine is designed for the full breadth of the UK hospitality sector: independent takeaways and delivery kitchens, casual dining restaurants, fine dining establishments, bars and gastropubs with kitchen operations, hotel restaurants and in-room dining, and multi-site restaurant groups. The platform’s smart delivery zone tool allows operators to draw GPS rings around their kitchen and set a delivery fee per zone, protecting margins on distant addresses without deterring nearby customers.

“The UK hospitality industry is one of the most resilient and creative sectors in the country, yet restaurant owners are handing over a significant share of their revenue to platforms that own neither the kitchen nor the customer relationship. DirectDine puts that control back where it belongs.”

— Kasun Sameera, Managing Director, SeekaHost Technologies Ltd.
