The problem we set out to solve

Why food delivery stopped feeling fair

Ordering food should be simple. You choose a restaurant, place your order, and know what you’re paying.

But over time, food delivery became more complicated than it needed to be.

Customers started seeing menu prices that didn’t match the restaurant, multiple layered fees, and totals that changed between screens. Even when ordering from a favorite local place, the final cost often felt unclear — or higher than expected.

This experience made food delivery feel unpredictable. Not because customers were ordering more, but because the system itself became harder to understand.

ManiDine was created to challenge that complexity — not with gimmicks or promotions, but with clarity.

What “clarity” means
Simple, explained pricing — before you pay.
  • Pricing that’s easy to understand before checkout
  • No layered “mystery fees” that appear late
  • Totals designed to stay consistent through checkout
  • A platform built to earn trust over time

Illustrative example (not a guarantee of “always cheaper”). ManiDine is built for clarity: fees you can understand and totals that make sense.

How ManiDine is different

A simpler way to order

ManiDine is built around a simple principle: customers deserve to know exactly what they’re paying, and why.

That means:

  • Real menu prices — the same prices you’d see in the restaurant
  • A clear, flat service fee instead of percentage-based markups
  • No hidden adjustments at checkout
  • No last-minute surprises after you’ve already decided to order

The goal isn’t to push customers to spend more — it’s to let them order with confidence.

When pricing is straightforward, trust follows.

Local by design

Why start in Edmonton

ManiDine was built in Edmonton — intentionally.

Edmonton is home to an incredibly diverse food scene, independent restaurant owners, and a strong sense of local community. It’s a city where people care about value, fairness, and supporting businesses that give back to the place they operate in.

Starting locally allows ManiDine to stay accountable. Decisions aren’t abstract. Feedback is real. The impact is visible.

Before thinking about scale, ManiDine focuses on getting the fundamentals right — here at home.

ManiDine was founded in Edmonton by locals who wanted food delivery to feel fair and easy again. For a more personal note, read the Founder Note.
