At ResDiary, we’re always looking for ways to enhance your experience and provide even more value to your business. As we continue to grow and innovate, sometimes that means making strategic changes. While Dish Cult will remain online and continue to take bookings, it will no longer be our primary focus for driving bookings to your venue. Instead, we’re excited to introduce you to a more powerful way to attract customers, DesignMyNight.com.
With over two and a half million bookings in 2024 and ranking first to third for more than 47,000 Google search terms, DesignMyNight.com offers superior visibility and enhanced marketing opportunities to help your venue stand out and drive more bookings.
