The epicentre of Halo Dining is "dine at your favourite restaurant,…... at home". Halo Dining is sophisticated yet simple to use App which allows a diner, via a geotag of time, date, and location, know which restaurants are available to come to their home and cook dinner. The host selects the menu, invites his/her guests, who in turn choose their menu. The check can also be shared across all diners if the host desires, just like the restaurant experience. The restaurant turns up an hour before, sets the table, serves drinks, and the menu selected. Washes up and goes home, how good is that!

Washes up and goes home, how good is that!The app is the culmination of my 40 years experience in the industry as a chef, caterer, restaurateur and consultant. Hosts select the restaurant based on their desired time, date and location of their booking, depending on restaurant availability. They then choose from the menus you offer and invite their guests, and a chef and waiter turn up, set the table, cook the meal, serve them, and even do the dishes. You will be able to see photos of the host's kitchen, dining room and utensils and communicate with them directly via the app. You can also set your minimum spends and the pricing is fixed, so there’s no negotiating. Just put the menus up and away you go! Halo Dining is designed to be a premium offer and to a point, pricing is less important, as the people who will be using this are looking for an experience.
