100% Escrow Protection & Didit Trust Protocol
How CoDine protects private diners, event planners, and venue hosts across the United States through automated escrow and decentralized entity verification.
Escrow Deposit Authorization
When you reserve a private room or rooftop, your deposit (20–30%) is locked in an immutable escrow contract. Funds are untouched until your dining event.
QR Check-In Verification
Upon arrival at the venue, present your reservation QR code. The host validates your party, confirming space readiness and menu service.
Automated Settlement Payout
Following successful check-in, escrow funds release instantly to the host's verified US bank account. Zero payment friction for either party.
Didit Identity & Business Verification (KYC / KYB)
Voluntary Trust Layer for Premier US VenuesFor Incorporated Venues & Restaurant Groups
Venues that complete Didit KYB undergo business registry verification (EIN, corporate standing, and principal ID validation). In return, they unlock the coveted green Didit Shield and receive a +100 priority boost on marketplace searches.
For Boutique & Un-incorporated Hosts
We never penalize unique subterranean speakeasies, private chefs, or boutique spaces that are not incorporated. Verification is strictly optional, and un-verified hosts can still host and build organic reputation through stellar 5-star diner reviews.
