Prepayment only works if refunds work. Here is exactly how both are handled, and what BiteSite does and does not store.
₹
Paid before it is cooked
Every order is paid in full through Razorpay before it reaches the kitchen queue, so there are no unpaid orders and no arguments at the counter.
⌾
We never see your card
Card, UPI and bank details go straight to Razorpay. BiteSite stores only the amount, the payment reference, and whether it succeeded.
↺
Refunds are issued first
If a canteen has to cancel a paid order, the refund goes back to your original payment method before the cancellation is even recorded.

Your data stays yours
Passwords and verification codes are stored only as hashes, each college is isolated from every other, and you can delete your account at any time.
Questions
The things people ask before their first order.
Yes. BiteSite is prepaid only — there is no pay-at-the-counter option. An order is only sent to the kitchen once payment has been confirmed, which is what makes it possible to have your food ready before you arrive.
Canteen staff can cancel the order from their queue. Cancelling a paid order always issues a full refund to your original payment method through Razorpay, and the refund is processed before the cancellation is recorded.
You can walk away from an order that has not been paid for — it simply expires and you are never charged. Once an order has been paid for and the kitchen has started preparing it, you cannot self-cancel, because the ingredients and effort are already committed. Raise it through in-app Support and staff can review and refund it.
No. BiteSite is in-person counter pickup only. There is no delivery, no courier, and no shipping of any kind. You collect your order yourself from your own college canteen counter.
Payments are handled entirely by Razorpay, a PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway. Your card, UPI or bank credentials are entered on Razorpay’s checkout and are never sent to or stored by BiteSite.
Get in touch through the contact page. Onboarding a college means setting up its outlets, staff accounts and menu, and each college runs in its own isolated space on the platform.
