For reference, the BiteSquare ordering site and owner app were built in stages between April and October 2026. ## Pricing Pricing on request, shared after a short call. Hosting, databases, payment gateway fees, SMS or WhatsApp fees and third-party services are billed by the providers and shown separately. Changes after launch are agreed as a plan or a new scope. ## Related work - [BiteSquare: A cloud kitchen that runs like a pass at midnight](https://www.brandbakery.tech/work/bitesquare): A pure-veg cloud kitchen in Rohini, Delhi, now takes orders on its own site, runs its own kitchen board, and changed hosts without losing a single dish. ## Free tools that help - [Business Brief Builder](https://www.brandbakery.tech/tools/brand-brief): Answer a few plain questions about your business and download a brief you can hand to any web or branding agency. - [Website Launch Checklist](https://www.brandbakery.tech/tools/launch-checklist): Tick off the checks that matter before your website goes live.

A minimum viable product is the smallest version of your idea that real users can use and react to honestly. It is built to learn fast, and it is meant to be incomplete. ### What have you built that is like this? For BiteSquare, a cloud kitchen, we built an ordering storefront and an owner app with a catalogue editor, offers, a live order queue and analytics. It has 190 automated tests. ### What technology will you use? Whatever suits the job and your team. Our recent builds use Next.js, with databases such as Postgres and hosting on Cloudflare. You get a plain explanation of every choice. ### Will I own the code? Yes. The source code, database and hosting accounts are in your name, and everything is documented so another developer can pick it up. ### Can you take over an app that someone else started? Often, yes. We review the code first and tell you honestly whether to continue with it, repair it or rebuild the weak parts. ### Do you build mobile apps? We build web apps that work well on phones. Native iOS and Android apps are outside this service, and we will tell you on the first call if your idea needs one. ### How much does a web app cost? Pricing is shared after a short call. The cost follows the scope of the first version, which we fix in writing before building. ## Start a project Tell us about it at https://www.brandbakery.tech/contact.
