About Us

Founded in 2008 by Frank Kuo, CityMint’s goal is to make ordering food locally as easy as possible. We eliminate the clutter, speed up the experience, and give you all the fun and easy-to-use features to make you keep wanting to use our product. Best of all, it’s free to use for all of our customers. You pay the same price as you would calling ahead or going live to a restaurant – so feel good ordering with CityMint.

The mobile revolution is just starting and we hope to be right there with you in your pocket whenever you’re hungry. We currently only operate on the iPhone, but have plans to expand into working with a wide range of mobile platforms. We also hope to expand to more cities over time – just be patient.
