Order directly
from the best
local independent restaurants.
Every order placed through Bites Local goes straight to the restaurant that cooked it, not a marketplace taking 30% off the top. We're passionate about helping local restaurants thrive, so we take 0% commission. Not some. Not less. Zero.
Independent restaurants are the backbone of every high street. We think they deserve to keep what they earn.
Every big marketplace app makes its money the same way: by taking a cut of every order a local restaurant works hard to earn. We think that's backwards. Bites Local exists so diners can order directly from the restaurants they love, and so those restaurants keep every penny of every order. No middleman. No 30%. Just your local favourites, thriving.
Simple Order™. One process. No complicated software.
Every restaurant on Bites Local runs on the same thing: Simple Order™, our process for taking orders over WhatsApp instead of learning a complicated system. No POS terminal. No tablet full of features you'll never touch. Just the shortest possible path from a hungry customer to a finished order in your WhatsApp.

Four steps. No account, no app, no fuss.
The whole journey happens on a website your customer already trusts: yours. It ends with a message you already know how to answer.

We don't take 30%. We take nothing.
Most ordering apps take up to 30% of every order before the restaurant sees a penny, money that should be going to the people who cooked your food. Bites Local charges one fixed monthly fee instead, so 100% of every order goes where it belongs.
