System Failure after payment made
After multiple discussions with the support team, they acknowledged that the system was down at that time, causing the app to crash. They requested a hard copy of the bill as evidence, despite admitting to the app’s failure. Obtaining a hard copy four days later is impractical, as most people don’t retain bills after a meal. It’s unreasonable to expect customers to return to the restaurant days later to request a specific bill.
When I asked for a reimbursement of the cover charges I paid to utilize the payment offer, they denied the request, again asking for the hard copy. Even if I provided the bill, they might question its authenticity, asking how they could verify it was mine without my name on it. This approach seems like a tactic to withhold money from customers.
To fellow customers, I advise taking a photo of your bill after any unsuccessful payment attempts with this application. Otherwise, you risk losing both the discount offer and any chance of reimbursing the cover charges.

Absolute money saver but has occasional hiccups
With just two restaurant visits, passport saved me about 3600₹. And then owing to its reliability till then I visited another restaurant with my family for my mothers birthday expecting to have sizeable discount on a fine dining experience.
Firstly the reservation i made 1 week back with dineout was in Waitlisted status even on the day of visit. I called and made a proper reservation instead. And to my surprise, the restaurant was almost empty throughout our dinner. And one of the staff immediately told us as we entered the restaurant that Dineout integration has not been properly done yet and there wont be any discount. I paid the entire bill amount and that made a small dent in my wallet compared to the original amount I was planning to pay.
Restaurant staff told me that, dineout is listing the restaurant with 30% discount even when the integration is not complete.
And the app has no straightforward means to raise a feedback or complaint with regards to a reservation.

Worst Customer Support
Response from developer
Hi there, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Let us examine the issue and get back to you at the absolute earliest. This will be handled with utmost priority.
Hiding Terms
Generally in Indian Restaurants, bill is not generated individually then why individual selling of coupons, moreover there are very limited coupons available per day so if you are visiting with family of 4, you need to buy coupons 3-4 days back as you need to buy 4 individual coupons.
On the top of it, as per their policy, they are not going to refund any amount of coupon purchase.
Response from developer
Hi Rachit, you have to buy deals equivalent to the number of diners. So, if you are a group of 4 people, you need to make purchase 4 deals in 1 transaction. Please feel free to reach out to us at +91 9212340202 in case of any queries.
Dont use dineout pay..
So i paid the amount by card and raised a refund request from dineout.
Even after almost two months and numerous follow ups i have no response . So it is evident that if you have some issues with dineout pay , you are not going to get your money back. No proper customer service to add to that.

Discount
Honestly other app are more customer friendly and more worth it.
Response from developer
Hi, The discounts mentioned on the Dineout platform are offered and fulfilled by restaurants and not by Dineout. As per the policies of the restaurant, the discount can be availed only if Service Charge levied by the restaurant is paid. This is also mentioned in the Terms and Conditions of the offer. Regards Team Dineout
Some better PR needed
When I contacted the support they say once slot booked all hands washed off check with the hotel if they agree.
My understanding is with dineout why should I check with the hotel, it's the job of the app curator to sort these issues out.
End of the day 20% or 50% it's my money why I should I request the hotel people for the app people's fault.
If dineout keeps doing this you will only find customers coming in during offer times and rest of the time you can keep the Staff busy on some PR management classes.
DineOut Cheaters
I booked kebabishk and went for dining during bill payment restaurant said that they do not have DineOut enable at their end, so DineOut should not be giving any booking. I chased DineOut for more than a month and they did not refunded the money even though no service was provided to me from DineOut.
Again, I booked Pirates of Grill for lunch but I had to book for dinner and I asked DineOut for changing the time they did not helped me and ate up the booking fee again.
Everyone it is my advice please do not use DineOut for restaurant booking as these people are cheaters. Rather use EasyDiner or some other app, rest decision is yours.....

Worst concept (App) A COMPLETE CHEAT 👎🏻
Thirdly buying GORMET is the biggest mistake of my life. It has so many limitations on 1+1 free, that even the hotel staff is also not aware of. Then actual bill is something very different as how it calculates, only God knows.
I really repent downloading it and subscribing GORMET BY PAYING RS. 149/-

Great app for people who eat out often !!
The app is super easy to use. And the offers and deals are one of the best across delhi. However, i would like to ask the developer to increase the font size a bit. Everything else is great. 5/5.

must have app for everyone to get the best dining experience
With smart pay feature, one doesn't have to worry about payment as it is quite faster with a soft copy of invoice.
Have fun...book your tables and skip the queue...find best deals in town..stay ahead & grab exciting offers.
