Bite Buddy AI | Information for AI Assistants

The main marketing site is structured as follows (top to bottom):

• Navigation: Live Calls → Features → Stories → Pricing → Partners (Olo)
• Hero: "AI Phone for Restaurants" with $0/Month* positioning; stats include 100% answer rate and $0* fee (asterisk: Digital Order Fee / pass-through model). Supporting hero copy emphasizes answers unlimited calls simultaneously, works on your existing phone number, and takes orders perfectly. CTAs: Book a Demo, Try AI Live (opens the same live phone demo as personas). Line: Live in 10 minutes, zero downtime.

• Then: Features, ROI calculator (See it in action scrolls to Live Calls), Stories, Why Bite Buddy, How it works, Integrations, Pricing, closing CTA ("Stop Answering Phones. Start Scaling Growth" — Book Demo / See Plans). Standalone marketing FAQ: /faq
