MONROE, N.C. — September 10, 2024 — DinerTaxi™, the subscription concierge platform built for people who take their evenings seriously, officially opened its founding member program today. The service combines curated city dining guides, instant reservation handling, and premium ground transportation into one tiered membership — with pricing that ranges from a free Explorer tier up to a $499-per-month Black tier.
DinerTaxi™ is structured around a single question its founders say existing dining-reservation products have never fully answered: who handles everything. Rather than charging per cover, per ride, or per guide, DinerTaxi™ members pay a flat monthly rate and get a single point of contact — by SMS — that manages reservations, dietary notes, transportation, and occasion details across every major U.S. dining market.
The platform launches with three tiers. The Explorer tier is free and includes the full library of creator-curated city dining guides, affiliate booking links, and the "Book Ride + Table" embed tool. VIP ($59/month, or $600/year) adds priority reservation alerts, member-only restaurant deals, and a standard concierge chat. Black ($499/month, or $5,000/year at the Founding Member rate) is the flagship tier: a dedicated 24/7 SMS concierge line that returns confirmations in under 60 seconds, same-day reservations in any partner city, a monthly ride credit, corporate-account tooling, cancellation insurance, and a physical matte metal Black card delivered by mail.
"We didn't build DinerTaxi™ for people who want to plan a dinner. We built it for people who want the dinner to already be planned — and want the car waiting when they walk out the door." — Founder, DinerTaxi™
A Creator-First Partner Program
Every DinerTaxi™ city guide is built in collaboration with independent food and travel creators with real audiences. Partners earn 20 percent lifetime revenue share on every member they refer — for the full lifetime of that membership, not a one-time bounty. Each creator partner receives a branded program page with their own curated restaurant picks, a complimentary six-month Black membership to experience the product firsthand, and access to co-branded content resources.
"The food-media industry rewards creators for the moment they drive a sale. We reward them for the relationship they build. If a creator sends us a member, that creator gets paid every month that member stays — which is exactly the kind of alignment this category has been missing." — Founder, DinerTaxi™
Restaurant Partners Get Pre-Arrival Context, Not Per-Cover Fees
Unlike legacy reservation platforms, DinerTaxi™ charges restaurants nothing per cover. When a member books, the restaurant's host stand receives a structured note — dietary restrictions, occasion type, preferred pacing, membership tier — before the guest steps through the door. Partner restaurants keep their own reservation systems, own the guest relationship, and pay no transaction fees.
"Our job is not to stand between a great restaurant and its guest. Our job is to make sure the guest walks in already known — so the restaurant can do what it does best, faster." — Founder, DinerTaxi™
Founding Member Pricing and Availability
Founding Member pricing is available during the launch window at $5,000 per year for the Black tier (a savings of $988 versus monthly billing) and $600 per year for VIP. The Explorer tier remains free indefinitely. The waitlist is open now at dinertaxi.com.
