Bite2Eat Corporation announced today the launch ofBite2Eat.com, a
restaurant directory that makes it easy to order from restaurants
using on-line menus. Whether a restaurant is looking for a free,
no-hassle way to establish an on-line presence, or simply wants
to supplement existing efforts, Bite2Eat.com
is a quick and risk-free way to attract new on-line customers
and encourage existing ones to continue ordering.
“Restaurant
owners have to focus on food quality, preparation and sales —
they don’t want to spend the time or money figuring out
how to manage getting orders on-line,” explained CEO
Jay Bailey. “We make it painless to offer customers
on-line menus — with no startup costs or ongoing fees —
for absolutely any restaurant that takes delivery or pickup orders.
It’s essentially free marketing with only a pay-for-performance
cost.” Bite2Eat earns a small commission for each order
sent by fax to a restaurant.
Co-founder
and CTO Marc Fischman added, “The state of
the economy means that ordering in is a great and inexpensive
way to share an evening with friends. You can experience exotic
world flavors without leaving your house. And it actually makes
this the ideal time for us to offer owners a way to generate business
without having to spend a lot on dubious marketing or cutting
prices painfully.”
Bite2Eat.com
complements the way a restaurant works without requiring equipment
installations or dedicated computers. The Bite2Eat
system can transmit orders by fax, by e-mail, or by an automated
phone system that reads the order in a natural-sounding voice.

Buddy Orders provide the ability for a customer to
initiate an order and then invite colleagues, friends or family
members to join that order. Each “Buddy” clicks on
the menu’s items, and a single order is transmitted to the
restaurant. “This is just the beginning,”
explained Bailey. “We are planning
a number of features that help foster the ‘social’
element of restaurant ordering. We hope to add an element of fun
for the customer and, as a result, larger orders for our restaurants.”
About
the Company
Privately-funded Bite2Eat.com was founded by Marc Fishman and
Jay Bailey in the summer of 2008. The team at Bite2Eat.com
aims to make interacting with restaurants across the country as
convenient and natural as the on-line banking or shopping you've
become accustomed to. Ordering on-line - especially using our
Buddy Orders with a group of friends or colleagues - is easy,
quick and more relaxing than ordering by phone using a paper take-out
menu.
