The problem

Your halal certification deserves its own platform

Mixed with non-halal listings

On other food apps, your halal restaurant sits next to non-halal options. Customers can't always tell the difference.

Up to 30% commission per order

Major platforms take between 14-30% of every order. That's a significant cut from already tight restaurant margins.

No halal-focused audience

General platforms serve everyone. HalBites serves customers specifically looking for verified halal food — your core customer.

Frequently asked

Founding Sellers get 6 months with no subscription fee and 0% platform commission on every order. Cash orders are completely free. On card orders, a small 2% charge applies to cover card payment processing (Stripe's fees) — so you're never out of pocket for accepting cards. After 6 months, you move to a paid plan with the standard 11% platform commission. All Founding Sellers also receive a permanent Founding Seller badge on their profile.

An 11% platform commission applies to the food subtotal of each order, covering payment processing and platform costs. Delivery fees are yours to keep in full. Founding Sellers pay 0% platform commission for their first 6 months — cash orders are entirely free, and card orders carry only a 2% card processing fee.

Customers pay securely by card (processed via Stripe) or by cash on delivery. HalBites is the merchant of record, so card payments are collected by HalBites and your earnings — the order total minus the 11% commission — are paid out to you. You can track exactly what you've earned and what's due on your Earnings page. For cash orders, you collect the money directly from the customer, and the platform commission on those orders is tracked as an outstanding balance you settle with HalBites. Founding Sellers pay no platform commission during their 6-month period — just a 2% card processing fee on card orders, with cash orders entirely free.

HalBites is launching first in Birmingham, UK, with Manchester, Bradford, and London to follow. If you're outside these areas, you can still apply.

Most restaurants are live within 24 hours of submitting their halal certificate. We review and approve applications manually to maintain quality on the platform.

Plans are prepaid and never auto-renew, so there's nothing to cancel — your plan simply runs until it expires, and you're only charged again if you choose to renew. You can pick monthly, quarterly, or annual billing, and switch plans whenever you renew.
