Hiring an agency vs. BiteStax™.
Traditional agencies quote $30,000 to $150,000+ and 3–6 months of your calendar for a restaurant ordering app. BiteStax™ ships the same-quality app in six weeks starting at $6,900 — because ordering, cart, payments, loyalty, and push are already solved in our pattern library.

Where operator hours actually go
In an agency build, you spend 20–40+ hours in workshops, design reviews, and requirements meetings. In a BiteStax™ build, that drops to about five hours — one discovery call, two design-feedback sessions, and staff QA at the end of Week 5. The rest is us building against a scope you signed on day one.
