Become a founding sponsor of DineInTheaters.com
DineInTheaters.com is a national directory of theaters where you can have an entire meal with your movie. If your theater is listed, sponsorship gives it a richer, clearly labeled presence. The first 15 founding sponsors lock in $49 a month for as long as they stay subscribed.
Who can sponsor
We list theaters that serve real, entrée-level food: burgers, pizza, salads, sandwiches, not just popcorn and neon nachos. Only theaters already on the directory can sponsor. Find your listing
What sponsors get
- Sponsored placement. Your theater appears in a clearly labeled "Sponsored" block at the top of its state page. When several sponsors share a state, they rotate.
- Badge and highlighted card. Your listing stands out in the directory.
- Photo gallery. Photos appear only on sponsored listings. Show the auditorium, the seats, the food.
- Menu upload. Guests can see what's for dinner before they book.
- Richer profile. More room to describe your theater and what a night there is like.
- Nearby exposure. Your theater is featured as a labeled suggestion to guests browsing other listings in your area.
- Priority corrections. Changes to your hours, menu, or details are reviewed ahead of the regular queue.
- Fuller structured data. We add more complete machine-readable details to your page so search engines and AI assistants can read your information accurately.
What sponsorship does not buy
- A place on the list. You can't pay to be added, restored, or kept. A theater must already be listed and meet our meal standard.
- A better rank in the main list. Sponsored placement is separate and labeled. The regular listings are never reordered by payment.
- Control over our editorial content. We'll correct factual errors when you show us they're wrong, but we don't sell changes to what we say about your food or service.
- Guaranteed traffic or sales. We're launching, so we have no traffic numbers to show yet, and we won't make promises we can't back up.

Because the site is new, founding pricing is deliberately low. Standard pricing may change as the site grows; founding sponsors keep their rate.
How it works
- Check your listing. Find your theater on the directory. Not listed? See the FAQ.
- Subscribe. Email us to get started and choose monthly or annual. Payment is handled by Stripe's secure checkout; we never see your card number.
- We turn on your perks. We set up your placement and badge by hand and email you when they're live.
- Send your photos and menu. We add them to your listing.
FAQ
- Can my theater pay to be listed?
- No. Sponsorship never changes whether a theater is listed.
- My theater isn't listed. Why?
- We list only theaters where you can have an entire meal. If you think we missed one, tell us here and we'll check it against that standard. Sponsoring is not part of that decision.
- How much traffic will I get?
- We can't say yet. The site is new and we won't invent numbers. That's why we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- What does "Sponsored" mean on the page?
- Those listings are paid placements. They're labeled so guests can tell them apart from the regular directory.
- Can I cancel?
- Anytime. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid period.
- How do refunds work?
- Email us within 30 days of your first payment for a full refund, on either plan.
- Is my sponsorship safe if my theater changes its food?
- Sponsorship doesn't protect a listing. If a theater closes or no longer meets the meal standard, it comes off the directory and the sponsorship ends. Any unused time on an annual plan is refunded pro rata.
- How do payments work?
- Through Stripe's hosted checkout. We never see your card details.
