Business Diner Tools:
FOR Corporations
Corporate Dining Services to Simplify Business Dining
Our corporate dining program lets you earn rebates at 24K+ restaurants in the US and Canada.
Much like a preferred air, car, or hotel program, you choose Dinova to provide a selection of restaurants for employees while your corporation earns rebates for their transactions. Our dining program covers all corporate dining needs:
- Meals for your business travelers
- Private parties and department lunches
- Food-based gifts for coworkers or clients
- Catering for offsite parties and events
- Take out that is sent to the office or remote worker
How Our Corporate Dining Program Works
- Employees dine at a participating restaurant using a corporate card.
To track this activity, we match their corporate credit card number to our restaurants’ merchant information. - Your corporation is paid back a portion of the total check as a rebate.
Rebates are calculated monthly, based on the percentage of spend at participating restaurants. Corporations earn up to 10% of the total check.
Data Security and Privacy
We work with our corporate partners to align with their data and security policies. Our program has been implemented at 600 corporations and government agencies nationwide.

What are corporate dining services?
Corporate dining services help companies get more value out of the money their employees already spend on business meals – client dinners, travel meals, catering, private events, and more. Dinova’s program works similarly to an airline or hotel loyalty program, but for restaurants. Employees continue to use their corporate card, and the company earns a rebate on that spend automatically with no new card or extra steps added to expense reporting – so long as they dine in Dinova’s restaurant network.
What does Dinova’s corporate dining program include?
Companies get access to a network of 24k+ restaurants across the U.S. and Canada, a rebate on card spend at those restaurants, and tools to ensure program compliance within their company. Rebates are calculated from card transaction data, with no integration into internal systems required.
What dining services does Dinova offer for employees?
Employees of corporate partners gain access to our restaurant search tool as well as access to the myDinova Rewards program – a mobile app platform where they can earn points for dining at in-network restaurants, redeemable for personal gift cards.
What dining solutions does Dinova offer to corporations?
Dinova’s core offering is our rebate program: companies with at least $1m in annual dining spend can earn rebates on card spend across Dinova’s 24k+ restaurant network, calculated from their card transaction data – no integration with internal tools needed. On top of the rebate, Dinova provides employee-facing tools such as myDinova app, and recurring reporting that finance and travel teams can use to track performance and adoption.
