Problem
Traditional food delivery platforms charge restaurants commissions of around 30% per order, plus additional fees for advertising and payment processing. These costs force restaurants to raise menu prices, while platforms also capture customer data and control the guest relationship, leaving restaurants with no direct access to their own customers.
Solution
Bites provides a food delivery network that charges restaurants a flat $1 per order with no commissions or hidden fees, allowing restaurants to offer in-store prices to consumers. The platform ensures restaurants retain full ownership of their guest data and loyalty information, while 100% of delivery fees go directly to drivers. Bites also operates a POS Consortium where partner restaurants earn 0.5% of gross merchandise value from transaction fees that other platforms typically pocket. Orders are placed directly through the Bites platform, bypassing third-party intermediaries entirely, so restaurants keep their margins and customers pay exactly what they would in-store.
Target Audience
Primary customers are independent restaurants and small restaurant chains seeking to reduce delivery costs and maintain direct relationships with their customers, as well as consumers looking for delivery at in-store prices.
