Bentie: your little bento shop
Your little bento shop
A cozy little bento shop where animal customers stop by for lunch. See what they want, grab food off the belt, pack their box, decorate the lid, and serve it across the counter. Then see what they think.
Paid once. No ads, no in-app purchases.
On iPhone Duo, the hinge is the lid
Open the phone and the customer waits on one half while you pack the box on the other. When the lunch is ready, fold the phone shut.
Fold it shut to close the box
The cover screen becomes the outside of the lid, with the latch, the customer's name tag and a rail of stickers down the edge. Stick on a heart or a star, then serve it.
Open it to see their face
Open the phone again and the customer lifts the lid. Five stars for a perfect lunch, a "Wow!!" over their head, and coins in the jar.
On a regular iPhone or iPad you get the same shop in a landscape layout, with a swipe for the lid.
A day at the shop
Every customer has a lunch in mind. Pack what they asked for, follow the little rules, and try for five stars.
Take the order
Each customer shows you the foods they want, plus a special request or two. Maybe they want something purple, or want you to leave out the cherry tomatoes.
The conveyor keeps moving, so grab what you need and pack their lunch.
Follow the little rules
Every favorite in the box, no empty dish, sweets and raw fish kept apart from the meal. Bentie coaches you the first few times you slip.
Decorate the lid
Hearts, stars, rice balls and clouds to start. Earn coins and the sticker board fills up.
Serve it and see their face
Five stars, coins for the shop, and a happy customer. Replay any lunch to beat your best.
Every lunch is kept
The Lunch Album saves each box with the customer, the food you packed and the lid you decorated. Share one from the album, or put it on your Home Screen as a widget.
Make the shop yours
Spend your coins on plates, tea cups, chopsticks, placemats, lanterns, wall art, lid patterns, stickers, and new music for the restaurant.
24 reservations, six days
Four lunches are waiting each day. Clear one to open the next, and go back to Reservations any time to replay a lunch for a perfect five stars. After the 24th, the shop stays open for walk-in customers and the optional Lunch Rush.
Free Play is there whenever you just want to pack a box.

Nothing leaves the phone. Bentie does not collect personal information, use analytics, show ads, or track you. There are no accounts and no servers of ours. Your lunches, coins, shop purchases, album and settings are saved on this device only; delete the app and they are gone.
Game Center is optional. If you are signed in to Game Center, the achievements you earn and your scores on the leaderboards (lunches served, stars, coins, animals served) go to Apple's Game Center under your Game Center profile, as described in Apple's privacy policy. Bentie never sees your Apple ID, and plays the same if you are not signed in.
Motion. While a lunchbox lid is shut, Bentie reads the phone's motion sensors so the food can slide when the box is tilted or jostled. The readings are used on the spot and are never saved or sent anywhere.
The widget and sharing. The home-screen widget shows pictures of lunches you served; they are kept on this device for the widget only. Sharing a lunch from the album uses the system share sheet, and only when you tap Share.
Everyone. Bentie does not use the camera, the microphone, your location or your contacts. It is the same for children and adults: it collects nothing from anyone.
This website. This page counts visits with Plausible, a cookieless analytics service. It does not use cookies or collect information that identifies you directly. The app itself never talks to it.
Changes. If what Bentie collects ever changes, this page and the date above change first, before the update ships.
