BiteBack runs a three‑sided marketplace where restaurants sell prepaid food‑and‑beverage credits to the platform in exchange for immediate cash, avoiding loans or equity dilution. Diners purchase and redeem those credits through a mobile app, receiving up to 30 % discounts and bonus credits, while corporate clients buy credits in bulk to fund employee dining benefits. The system includes real‑time analytics and targeted promotions that drive foot traffic and simplify expense management.

Problem
Restaurants often face cash‑flow constraints that limit growth, while diners seek affordable access to high‑quality dining experiences, and corporations look for cost‑effective employee wellness perks. Traditional financing and loyalty programs can be fragmented, slow, and costly for all parties.
Solution
BiteBack operates a three‑sided platform that links restaurants, diners, and corporate partners through a prepaid credit system. Restaurants receive upfront capital in exchange for a pool of F&B credits, eliminating the need for loans or equity dilution while retaining full ownership. Diners purchase credits via the BiteBack app, earning bonus credits and up to 30 % discounts at participating venues, and can track and redeem their balances seamlessly. Corporate clients buy credits in bulk to fund employee benefit, gifting, or entertainment programs, reducing overall dining spend and simplifying administration. The platform’s marketing engine directs credit‑holding diners to partner restaurants, driving higher footfall and repeat spend. All transactions are managed digitally, providing real‑time reporting for restaurants and corporate accounts.
Target Audience
Primary customers are independent and chain restaurants seeking growth capital, consumers looking for discounted dining experiences, and corporate HR or benefits managers aiming to provide cost‑effective employee dining perks.
