Our story.
Real food is one of life's simplest joys. We're building Bitely so no one on care funding has to give it up.
It started with our aunty.
Our aunty is an NDIS participant. The meals her funding covered were bland, mass-produced trays with nothing she wanted to eat.
Missing real, flavourful food, she ended up living on instant noodles. She missed the taste of home, the authentic food she grew up with.
We realised her story was one of thousands.
The more we looked, the more we saw our aunty everywhere. People on care funding can use it for meals, but the choices are mostly the same plain trays.
For ethnic communities the gap is most acute, with little that tastes of home. But everyone deserves better. Australia has some of the richest, most diverse food anywhere, and the meals we give our NDIS and Support at Home communities should reflect that, whatever home tastes like to you.
Our mission.
We grew up in our family's Malaysian restaurant, so we know what good food means. It's how our family showed love.
Bitely brings that to everyone on care funding. An ongoing meals marketplace where you order real, authentic food from local kitchens you'd actually choose, delivered to your door, with the funding handled in the background.
Our aunty should have had this. We're making sure the next person does.
