We're committed to supporting workers in the industry and protecting businesses' online presence from illegal websites and predatory companies. Our values of fairness, affordability, and community support guide everything we do at BISTRO BUDDY.

That's why we work to protect them from illegal websites and companies that try to take over their business listing links and redirect them to their own platforms. By using our platform, businesses can maintain their own online presence and retain control over their data and customer relationships. That's why we allow businesses to retain their customer data even if they choose to leave our platform.
