Commander chez le caviste à l'avance à Bruxelles
Choosing wine for a dinner for eight is a conversation. On a Friday at 18:40, with four people waiting, it stops being one.
- No queue
- Zero commission
- No app to install
Customer side
Three moves, and you never queue again.
-
Reserve what you know
The estate you come back for every month, the case of six for the party. Reserved during the day, so it doesn't go while you're on your way.
-
Or ask for advice, calmly
You write the dish, the number of guests and the budget. The merchant answers when he has two minutes, not between two hurried customers.
-
Collect the case
Wrapped, ready to carry, at the time you chose. You pay at the counter, on the shop's own terminal.
The pickup slot is a commitment on both sides: you turn up, the shop is ready.
For merchants
The customer pays you. Dibs never touches the money.
That is the fundamental difference from a delivery platform, and everything else follows from it.
-
Online or in the shop
Your customer pays online or in the shop — either way, the money lands in your account. Dibs never collects it, so Dibs never takes a cut.
-
Zero commission on orders
No percentage lost on every ticket. A flat subscription, identical whether you take ten orders a day or a hundred. Your success stays yours.
-
Your customers stay your customers
You see their first names, their habits, their regular orders. Nobody stands between you and them, and nobody resells them to the shop across the street.
-
You produce against real orders
At 06:00 you already know what is sold. Less waste at closing, fewer sold-out shelves at 11:00, and one guess less to make every morning.
Honest comparison
Dibs versus a delivery platform.
Deliveroo, Uber Eats and the rest solve a real problem: delivery. Dibs does not try to solve it. The question isn't "which is better", it's "who keeps what".
 Dibs |
Delivery platform | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on each order | Dibs advantage 0% | On you Commonly 25 to 35% depending on the plan |
| Who takes the money | Dibs advantage You, at the counter | On you The platform, then a delayed payout |
| Who sets the price | Dibs advantage You. The same as in the shop | On you You inflate your prices to absorb the commission |
| Who owns the customer | Dibs advantage You. Name, habits, history | On you The platform, which can push them elsewhere |
| Delivery | Dibs advantage None. The customer comes to collect | On you A courier, less margin, food that goes cold |
| What it costs you | Dibs advantage A flat subscription, known in advance | On you A variable cost, proportional to your success |
Exact rates vary by platform, country and negotiated contract. Always check your own.
Questions
What people actually ask us.
Do I have to be 18?
Yes. Selling alcohol to under-18s is illegal in Belgium, and the check happens at the counter on collection, exactly as for any in-shop purchase. Reserving a bottle on Dibs neither replaces that check nor bypasses it.
Can I reserve a rare bottle without paying up front?
Yes, and it's the merchant's call whether to accept. A bottle set aside is a bottle he isn't selling to someone else: come and get it, or cancel early enough for it to go back on the shelf.
How do I pay for my order?
At the counter when you collect, exactly as if you had walked in without ordering. Cash, Bancontact, card: whatever the shop already takes.
Does Dibs deliver to my door?
No, and that isn't a gap. Dibs is a pre-order tool: you order ahead and collect. No courier, no delivery fee, no lukewarm food.
Your order's waiting.
Start with a coffee. You'll work out fast why you never want to queue again.
