The restaurant industry doesn’t need another platform taking a cut, and customers don’t need another app quietly doing the same. It doesn’t need a middleman standing between restaurants and their diners — it needs to be one step closer.
For years, delivery apps have inserted themselves between restaurants and customers — powered by billions in venture capital, pandemic tailwinds, and, to their credit, sharp execution and savvy marketing.
The result?
🍔 Restaurants lose 25–30% of every order.
💸 Customers pay more through inflated prices and hidden fees.
🧍 The only winner is the middleman.
And now, with the rise of AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, WhatsApp AI, and Perplexity, the race is on again — marketplace apps are trying to “own” the next channel. What should be a direct, local connection is being turned into another toll road.
Let’s be clear:
🚫 The problem isn’t user experience.
🚫 The problem isn’t selection.
👉 The real problem is a broken network that makes both restaurants and customers pay just to reach each other.
We don’t need another mall charging rent for the same stores
We need the farmer’s market of the restaurant industry — direct, local, transparent.
AI changes the equation! AI has the power to decentralize discovery and ordering, letting restaurants connect with diners directly through open networks rather than closed marketplaces.
Farmer’s Market of Food Delivery — a decentralized network designed to give restaurants and customers a direct path to each other, without middlemen or inflated costs.
Just as farmers’ markets connect people directly to local growers, Bites connects diners directly to local restaurants — making restaurants and POS systems AI-ready without handing control or profits to a new middleman.
This structure ensures that restaurants keep their margins, consumers pay in-store prices, and POS systems stay at the center of the transaction — not displaced by delivery intermediaries.
“POS systems are the rails of this industry. Our model is to work with them — not around them. We want POS companies to participate in the upside, not lose volume to third party apps”
With 600+ Bay Area restaurants already onboarded, Bites is actively partnering with leading POS providers and restaurant brands to build a decentralized commerce network designed for the AI era. We position ourselves as the VISA of restaurant ordering — enabling a unified, open network across AI platforms rather than competing for consumer attention.
