Help & how it works

Everything CyprusBites can do, explained simply. Look for the info marks around the app for the same tips exactly where you need them.

Finding places

Your match score

The coloured ring on every place is how well it fits you right now, your mood and taste, plus the moment: how far it is, whether it is open, the weather, and your budget. Higher means a better fit for you, not just a better rating.

What you do

  1. Open any restaurant or cafe
  2. Look for the coloured ring on the card or profile
  3. Tap the ring to see the reasons behind the score

The reasons under the score tell you why it matched, read them to learn what to tweak next time.

Search by how you feel, not just cuisine

The Concierge lets you pick a mood or occasion, long lazy lunch, first date, quick solo bite, and matches the table to it. It is the fastest way to find the right place when you know the feeling but not the name.

What you do

  1. Open Concierge from the top menu
  2. Pick a mood, party size and budget
  3. Get a shortlist ranked by match, with the reasons shown

Combine a mood with a filter like sea view or outdoor to narrow it fast.

Hidden gems

Places that locals rate highly but tourists rarely find. We surface quality that is not yet crowded, so you can beat the queue and eat where Cypriots actually eat.

What you do

  1. Look for the gem marker on cards
  2. Open Explore to browse them by area

Gems change as places get discovered, check back before a trip.

Your plate

Save places you love

Tap the heart on any place to save it to your plate. Your favourites also quietly teach the app your taste, so your matches get sharper over time.

What you do

  1. Tap the heart on a card or profile
  2. Find them later under My plate
  3. Tap again to remove

Saving a few places you already love is the quickest way to improve your recommendations.

Your taste profile

As you favourite, visit and book, we build a private taste profile, the cuisines, moods and price levels you lean toward. It powers the taste part of your match score and stays yours to see and edit.

What you do

  1. Open My plate then Taste
  2. See the traits we have learned
  3. Adjust anything that does not feel like you

The more you use the app, the more personal your matches become.

Food passport and badges

Collect badges as you explore Cyprus, traditional taverns, seafood, coffee culture and more. It is a fun record of where you have been and nudges you toward parts of the island you have not tried.

What you do

  1. Check in where you eat to earn stamps
  2. Open My plate then Passport to see your badges
  3. Chase the ones you are close to unlocking

Some badges reward variety, try a village tavern or a winery to round yours out.

Reviews and nudges

Now and then we ask how a recent visit was, or send a small offer from a place you love. It is only ever somewhere you favourited or checked into, it is capped so it never spams you, and a quick review helps other food-lovers, and the venue, a lot.

What you do

  1. Open the notification from a place you visited
  2. Leave a quick star rating and a line or two
  3. Your review goes live after a quick check

Not in the mood? You can mute these anytime in your notification settings.

Bites Club

Check in to earn Bites

Bites are the reward currency you earn just for eating out. Check in when you are sitting at the table of a member venue and you collect Bites you can later spend on real treats.

What you do

  1. Sit down at a member venue
  2. Open the venue and tap Check in
  3. Confirm, your Bites are added to your balance

Check in only works at the venue, so it stays honest, do it once you are actually there.

Spend your Bites on real treats

Turn Bites into actual things, a coffee, a dessert, sometimes a whole course, funded by venues that want to meet you. Browse the rewards, pick one you can afford, and show the code at the table.

What you do

  1. Open Rewards from the menu
  2. Pick a reward within your balance
  3. Show the code to staff to redeem

Welcome treats near you are the easiest first redemption, look for the location marker.

Legend status

Regulars who check in often unlock Legend status for a while, a small thank-you that can mean better rewards and recognition at the places you support.

What you do

  1. Keep checking in where you eat
  2. Watch your status on My plate

Consistency matters more than volume, a steady rhythm keeps your status warm.

Bookings

Book a table

Request a table straight from a venue that takes bookings. The venue confirms, and you get a booking with a code. On arrival the venue marks you there, which can also earn you Bites.

What you do

  1. Open a venue and tap Reserve
  2. Pick date, time and party size
  3. Wait for confirmation then show your code on arrival

Add a note for anything special, a birthday, a quiet corner, a high chair.

Order for pickup

Some venues let you order ahead and collect. Build your order, send it, and pick it up without the wait, with a pass and code so staff know it is you.

What you do

  1. Open a venue that offers pickup
  2. Add items and send the order
  3. Collect and show your pickup code

Reorder your usual in two taps from your account.

Your Show-Up Score

Every time you book a table and turn up, CyprusBites remembers it, and turns it into a Show-Up Score you carry to every venue. It climbs from Building to Reliable to Proven. Cancelling early, or a venue cancelling on you, never counts against you. Reach Proven and some restaurants confirm your table the instant you book.

What you do

  1. Book a table and turn up, a pass scan or a check-in around your booking time both count
  2. Watch your score climb from Building to Reliable to Proven
  3. At Proven, venues that opt in confirm your table the moment you book

Only turning up matters. A fair early cancellation, or a venue that cancels on you, never dents your score.

Offers

Golden Hour alerts

Now and then a place you love goes quiet and opens a short, generous window, a real discount for the next couple of hours. If you favourited or visited it, we may tell you. It is only ever sent when it genuinely fits, never spam.

What you do

  1. Favourite the places you love so they can reach you
  2. Open the alert to see the offer and how long it lasts
  3. Go enjoy it, it is often the calmest, nicest time to visit

Not in the mood? You can mute Golden Hour alerts anytime in notification settings.

Finding offers

Live offers across the island in one place, happy hours, set menus and seasonal deals. Real, current, and tied to places worth going to.

What you do

  1. Open Offers from the menu
  2. Filter by area or type
  3. Tap through to the venue to see the details

Offers are time-boxed, check the end time before you head out.

Planning

Plan a day or a trip

Tell us where you are, how long, and who is with you, and the planner builds a sensible day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and things in between, from real places that fit your taste and opening hours.

What you do

  1. Open Day planner
  2. Set your area, days and party
  3. Save or share the plan you get

Great for visitors, a three-day plan for Paphos with family takes seconds.

Decide together

Picking a place as a group is hard. Share a link, everyone adds their preferences, and we find the spot that fits the whole table, not just the loudest voice.

What you do

  1. Open Together and create a group
  2. Share the link with friends
  3. Open the result once everyone has added their taste

Works best when each person spends ten seconds on their preferences.
