Who we are
Bites Technologies is the company behind The Bites App, a social food-discovery platform available free on iOS. We build tools that help people find genuinely great food near them — not the restaurants with the biggest ad budgets, but the meals real people actually love.
Traditional review sites have a trust problem: inflated star ratings, paid placements, stock photography, and walls of text written by strangers. We replace all of that with something simpler and more honest — short videos of real dishes, filmed by real people, each finished with a single score out of ten.
Our mission
To make food discovery authentic — connecting people to meals worth eating through honest, video-first reviews from their own community.
Our values
Every feature we ship gets measured against four principles:
Authenticity
Real food, filmed by real people, at real places. No stock photos, no bots, no staged content. What you see is what arrives at the table.
Honesty
One score out of ten, no five-star inflation, and zero ads or paid placements — a restaurant can never buy its way up our rankings.
Community
Food is social. Friends' picks, citywide leaderboards, and shared lists put your community's taste — not an algorithm's — at the center.
Local first
We champion neighborhood spots and hidden gems. Great independent restaurants deserve to be found on merit.
Our goals
-
G1
Grow a trusted reviewer community
Build a base of food lovers whose honest 90-second reviews make every score on the platform mean something.
-
G2
Launch city by city
Roll out deep, hyperlocal coverage one city at a time — starting with the waitlist — so the feed is genuinely useful from day one wherever we launch.
-
G3
Champion local restaurants
Give independent spots and hidden gems the visibility that ad-driven platforms deny them.
-
G4
Stay ad-free and honest
Keep the feed free of paid placements so recommendations are always earned, never bought.
