Nextbite has launched TenderFix, a virtual brand featuring chicken and plant-based sandwiches, sliders and tenders. Noah Schnapp, an actor who starred in "Stranger Things," worked with Nextbite to create the delivery-only menu featuring chicken and plant-based MorningStar Farms Homestyle Chik'n Tenders. It's available nationwide for delivery via TenderFix.com, DoorDash, UberEats, GrubHub and Postmates, and the food is prepared in nearly 1,000 IHOP kitchens.

"It's important to me to have something on the menu for everyone, so we have tenders, sandwiches, sliders and delicious MorningStar Farms plant-based options for delivery nationwide from your favorite apps," Schnapp said in a company press release. "I'm a huge chicken sandwich fan and whenever I order food to my dorm room or during late-night study sessions, a chicken sandwich is my go-to item. With TenderFix, you can order it any time, every day, late night and even on Sundays."

"We had a lot of fun creating this menu together with Noah, and think customers will love these delicious chicken and plant-based sandwiches and tenders," Alex Canter, CEO and founder of Nextbite, said in the release. "TenderFix menu items are the perfect intersection of craveability and functionality, delivering food that hungry customers want with America's number one protein–chicken."

Originally founded as Ordermark in 2017, Nextbite matches in-demand brands with under-utilized kitchens via technology, data and services. Headquartered in Denver and Los Angeles, Nextbite has raised over $150 million in funding, with its most recent round led by SoftBank.
