FoodieBytes is a simple, yet novel way to find new restaurants that serve your usual favorites.

Have you ever had a craving for your favorite dish, but needed to find a restaurant that serves it? FoodieBytes.com is an innovative site that provides a novel way of discovering new restaurants that serve your usual favorites. In addition, the site helps consumers with dietary restrictions (e.g. gluten-free or low-carb) to quickly find restaurants serving the foods they need.

FoodieBytes is powered by an extensive database with 16,000 menus in 5 cities: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, and Washington DC (with Los Angeles to be released in early December.) A future release will also make the service available via mobile phones and will let you discover the most popular items served in your neighborhood.

The ultimate goal of FoodieBytes is to help consumers find something to eat quickly instead of having to read restaurant reviews and browse multiple menus. After all, figuring out “What am I going to eat tonight, shouldn’t be hard work.”

FoodieBytes is in the process of adding several more features, including user generated ratings for menu items, a mobile version and partnerships with local information portals, all towards making sure that the next time you want to have a bite, it is easy and fast.
