Bite and Tap2Order both let customers order from their phones. The difference is who does the work. Bite is a self-serve QR and kiosk platform you set up and run yourself. Tap2Order is done-for-you: we build and optimize your ordering system, include the Algorithm analytics, and set it up in person in NYC. Here's the honest side-by-side.

Bite usually wins on monthly software price. Tap2Order costs more because it's a service, not a self-serve tool: we build it, optimize it, and mail you branded materials. You're paying for done-for-you setup and the Algorithm.
