Funding and Development

Restaurants are invited to fund eBites development to keep usage costs lower.

Restaurants helping to fund eBites until completed mid 2023 will receive starting October, 2022:

• A development report the end of each month
• Access to the latest features to try for suggestions and feedback

Funding makes eBites possible. Therefore, all restaurants funding eBites will receive a 1000 percent eBits llc credit for their funding. This credit will be applied to half the cost of using eBites each month once eBites is operational.

eBits llc will charge restaurants 2 percent for orders placed through eBites at the end of each calendar month.

For example, if you fund eBites $100 per month for 10 months total ($1000), you will receive a $10,000 credit toward half off each month. You are guaranteed this net 1% rate with monthly usage until your credit is fully applied. Credit is not transferable. Payment processors will charge their own fees.

If you would like to help fund eBites, please send me an email. Include your name, restaurant name and address, and the amount or monthly amount you would like to fund. I will send you an invoice or a monthly invoice (up to 10 months maximum) until eBites is completed.

If for any reason you are not interested in eBites, please send me an email and let me know why. Any input that helps eBites work better for restaurants and their customers is appreciated.

Restaurants can start funding eBites to help development and for credit as long as this funding invitation is posted here.

Features listed above are subject to change based on suggestions and feedback from restaurants funding eBites. To safeguard the development schedule, additional features that can wait will be added after the initial release.

I look forward to eBites working well for you and your customers, and for many others around the world.

Best wishes,

Kevin Berry
