Trust, by construction.
Your customers' details and your takings deserve more than a checkbox. DirectDine is built so the secure path is the only path - not an add-on you have to remember to switch on.
Bcrypt-hashed passwords
Passwords are salted and hashed with bcrypt - never stored or logged in plain text. A
database leak doesn't become a password leak.
HMAC-signed sessions
Sessions ride in httpOnly, HMAC-signed cookies - invisible to JavaScript and tamper-evident,
so a stolen token can't be forged or replayed.
Server-side price verification
Every total is recalculated on the server at checkout. Prices sent from the browser are never trusted. So a tampered request can't buy a £40 meal for £4.
Postgres row-level security
Row-level security in Postgres means one restaurant's data is fenced off from another's at the database itself not just in application code.
Stripe-grade card handling
Card data is tokenised and handled by the payment provider - it never touches the DirectDine server. Your PCI scope stays as small as possible.
Per-portal auth model
Customers, staff, drivers and admins each authenticate through their own model with their own permissions - a driver can never reach the admin panel.
Quietly modern under the hood.
No bold claims needed just a stack chosen for reliability and real-time speed, the same tools the best product teams reach for.
