How to get your kitchen on Bites
-
Get Bites
On the welcome screen, tap I own a restaurant or sell food from home, then choose A home kitchen.
-
Tell us about your kitchen
Its name, your suburb, how people order (WhatsApp or a call, collect or delivery) and up to three photos of your food or price list.
-
We check it, and you're on
Then photograph your price list: Bites reads every dish and price, and you check each line before it's published.
Your home stays private
No street address
Bites never asks for it and never keeps it. Customers see Home kitchen and your suburb.
A rough spot on the map
Your location is rounded to about a kilometre before it's saved, so the distance in search still works.
No directions, ever
You give your address to a customer yourself, in the chat, when they order.
What we ask of you
People are trusting you with their food. These rules keep them safe and keep your kitchen on Bites.
- Your certificate. You confirm you're responsible for selling your food safely and legally, including your municipality's Certificate of Acceptability (R638). Send a photo of it and, once we've checked it, your page shows Verified kitchen.
- Still getting it? You can apply now. Your page shows Not yet verified, and you have 30 days to add the certificate before your kitchen comes off Bites.
- Allergens on every dish. Mark each of the nine common allergens as Contains, May contain or No.
- No health claims. Say what's in the food and let people decide for themselves.
