Bite Squad Delivery to Open Hilo Operations

Bite Squad will begin delivery service in Hilo starting Sept. 6, 2019

A new, independent food delivery service is on its way to Hilo.

Bite Squad is expanding its footprint in Hawai‘i, debuting a new option for on-demand food delivery from Hilo restaurants, a company press release said.

Bite Squad will kick off its Hilo area debut the week of Sept. 6 to Sept. 15, 2019, with the chance to win free delivery for a year. Anyone who places an order during the first week will receive a one-year complimentary subscription to Bite Squad Unlimited, a membership that waives the delivery fee no matter how many times a customer orders. Regular delivery fees start at $2.99.

To meet the anticipated demand, the company plans to hire 100 people in the area. Drivers can apply at https://www.bitesquad.com/apply.
