The idea for Bite Ninja was initially conceived by founder and CEO Will Clem on a busy Friday night at his own Memphis restaurant. Unable to fully staff the restaurant and facing an early closure as a result, Will set up his laptop and began taking drive-thru orders remotely. It was surprisingly successful, and recognizing the potential this idea had to help other short-staffed restaurants (especially in the midst of a pandemic-induced staffing crisis), Bite Ninja was born. As an early-stage startup, the company ran in stealth mode until partnering with startup accelerator Y Combinator in 2021. Now, Bite Ninja continues to grow, and our expert team is focused on developing more exciting technology that will soon be in a restaurant near you!
