Problem
Costs of running a hospitality business are rising, but the full potential of your venue remains untapped.
With limited indoor space and strained budgets, restaurateurs need new revenue sources without making big investments. Yet, your outdoor area is only used seasonally.
Solution
Unique outdoor dining experience at your restaurant
We provide restaurant owners with a free, turn-key solution to create an exciting dining experience without making any investments on restaurateurs’ part.
Dine at Dome paves a way for restaurant owners to a more predictable revenue (bookings made in advance) with higher-margins (set-menus and booking fees) and creates a positive buzz around the restaurant.
How it works?
- Dining pods
We will provide – completely free of charge, without any investment on your part – up to 4x beautiful, self assembly Domes for your outdoor area. - You will install the Domes – and furnish them to match your venue’s style and atmosphere – in the direct proximity of the restaurant, for at least 32 consecutive weeks.
-
- Dining experience booking platform
We will also provide a complete online platform for Dine at Dome experience at your restaurant. Your staff will get full access to bookings management.
- Set menus with 2 dinner servings per night
Dine at Dome experience is organised on a set/tasting menus basis. Up to 8 people can dine together in each dome. Each serving is up to 2.5 hours long. It’s up to you to come up with amazing tasting menus and take your guests for a delicious culinary experience.

- Dome booking fee
Diners pay £45 / €50 per dome booking (starting at £5.60 / €6.25 per person in a group of eight people).
- Who gets what?
You – the restaurant owner – keep 100% revenue made through food and beverage sales (your tasting menus). It’s up to you how much you charge for the culinary part of the experience.Dine at Dome keeps 100% of the booking fee on each dome reservation made during the initial phase of the cooperation.
After a certain amount of bookings (usually after around 20 weeks) we will share 50% of this fee with you, for as long as our co-operation lasts.
- Reservations
Dome reservations for customers will be available through a bespoke, co-branded webpage (your restaurant + Dine at Dome) that we will create and maintain at no cost to you.We will promote this website in our networks, social media and other marketing channels and will expect that you do the same. Your staff will be able access a booking management system to modify/move/cancel reservations manually.
