Vendors / QSR & drive-thru

Bite

Bite (getbite.com)

Kiosk plus 'Linebuster' handheld order-taking layer that rides on someone else's POS (PAR POS, Olo, Thanx, ELO/Lenovo/ChromeOS named as partners) — it is not a POS, and it is a different company from Bite Ninja.

Identity

Owner
Bite Technologies, Inc. — private US company; no parent or investor disclosed on the site. NOTE: unrelated to Bite Ninja despite the brief pairing them.
Who it is for
QSR and fast-casual operators buying self-order kiosks and mobile line-busting to run alongside an existing POS (PAR, Olo named as partners)

order-capture-offline-order-entry

Kiosks cannot take orders without connectivity: the support page's causes for 'Kiosk is unable to place an order' are 'Internet Blip... please re-try sending the order', unplugged cables/modem, 'Internet down', a firewall 'blocking our connection to the kiosk', and 'POS connection down or interrupted'. The offline-kiosk articles (Elo, Esper) treat an offline kiosk purely as a fault to repair (reconnect, whitelist, factory reset), no offline ordering scope is published anywhere in the help centre, and kiosks tender no cash. Every element of the claim - offline order creation, offline kitchen send, cash tender, published offline scope - is absent. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036891332-Kiosk-unable-to-place-Order · retrieved 2026-08-04

order-capture-scheduled-orders

Future-dated ordering exists as a location feature: guests at 'locations that have future orders enabled' pick pickup time slots and can change them mid-order (unavailable slots grey out); Order Throttling caps 'the volume OR number of orders that can be placed at given time windows' per dining option in 10/15-minute or whole-interval buckets ('ASAP orders will never be throttled'); Order Lead Times rules bump the quoted prep tier (ASAP/30/45/60 min) by items-in-cart per menu section; and a 'Future Orders' report 'shows all pre-orders coming up'. Shortfall: lead-time rules are per location and menu section, not per channel, and nothing documents Bite holding a future order and injecting it into the make queue at a computed fire time - Bite hands orders to the host POS, and kitchen routing 'is controlled entirely by your POS and KDS configuration—not by Bite', so fire-at-time behaviour belongs to the connected POS. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060759151-Changing-Dining-Option-or-Pickup-Time-Mid-Order · retrieved 2026-08-04

F
No

menu-pricing-modifier-price-by-parent-size

There is no Bite-side modifier price matrix: modifier pricing 'lives in the POS (such as Toast) and is not directly editable within Bite', 'Bite does not independently calculate modifier allowance logic', and 'the kiosk pricing should mirror the behavior seen in the POS'. Bite renders whatever prices the host POS syncs, so a modifier priced by parent item and size is a property of the connected POS; nothing is configured, as a matrix or otherwise, in Bite. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/46637630237844-Understanding-POS-Wallet-Settings-for-Modifier-Pricing · retrieved 2026-08-04

Partial

menu-pricing-topping-quantity-tiers

The kiosk honours POS-defined tiered modifier pricing at order time - e.g. 'the first five simple toppings are included in the base price, while any additional toppings cost $0.50 each'; 'Bite counts how many modifiers the guest selects within the group and then applies the corresponding tiered pricing received from the POS'. Intensity descriptors ('light on the onions', 'sauce on the side') are documented via Revel modifier-options sync (the 'Uses Mod Codes' checkbox per modifier). Shortfall: no tier or price multiplier is configurable in Bite itself - wallet tiers are count-based allowances defined in the host POS, and light/extra/double descriptors are documented only for the Revel integration. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/46637630237844-Understanding-POS-Wallet-Settings-for-Modifier-Pricing · retrieved 2026-08-04

digital-account-saved-payment

Searched the help centre (2026-08-04) for 'saved payment', 'card on file', 'account', 'checkout' and 'sign in'. What exists: reorder is documented on kiosk ('Previous Orders Configuration' - guests 'view and reorder from previous purchases', with order lookup 'on Bite only (kiosk orders)' or 'on loyalty (all ordering platforms)'), but guest identity belongs to the operator's third-party loyalty program - 'Simple Loyalty Sign Up' just SMSes guests a link to the external loyalty signup page or app download, and Incentivio auth is phone/card number/email+phone/barcode. No article documents saved addresses or tokenized card-on-file on any Bite channel: kiosk payments run on physically paired payment devices, and the account/checkout model of Bite's Flash web ordering is not publicly documented anywhere in the help centre, so whether any first-party channel offers saved payment methods remains unresolved.

Guest data, loyalty & marketing

Partial

guest-loyalty-unified-profile

A cross-channel guest history is reachable at the kiosk, but only through the integrated third-party loyalty program: with the 'lookup order history on loyalty' flag enabled (Punchh/Olo integration), 'Previous orders will display across all ordering platforms (online, kiosk, app) when customer is logged into loyalty', and Incentivio guests identify by phone, card number, email+phone or barcode. Shortfall: the unified profile is maintained by the loyalty provider, not Bite - the alternative configuration 'order lookup on Bite only' covers kiosk orders alone, Bite's own signup feature merely SMSes guests a link to the operator's external loyalty program, and no dedup/merge behaviour is documented anywhere in the help centre. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/42423175526676-Previous-Orders-Configuration-WIP · retrieved 2026-08-04

Shortfall: 'Each user added to the Bite Admin Portal can be assigned single Role', so one user's rights cannot differ by location; and the register actions the claim names (void, comp, discount, drawer open, price change) do not exist in a kiosk layer - Bite's rights govern admin-portal and kiosk-management actions only. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/42423338254100-Rights-Roles · retrieved 2026-08-04

Nothing states that refunds or other privileged actions are attributed to the individual approver in a queryable, immutable audit trail, so attribution remains unresolved.

Reporting, BI & data access

Partial

reporting-realtime-dashboard

Same-day sales are viewable from any browser: the Reporting tab runs a Sales Summary on demand ('Clicking on this report will pop up a window right in your browser') for time ranges including today, and the Orders tab surfaces individual orders immediately (order-send-failure alert emails link straight to the order in Bite Admin). Shortfall: there is no persistent live dashboard - reporting is generate-on-demand or scheduled email delivery (Excel for detail reports) - and no off-premise mobile admin app is documented anywhere in the help centre. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/34412123120660-Generating-One-Time-Reports-Setting-up-Report-Schedules · retrieved 2026-08-04

None is described as a product-mix report; the closest, Order Breakdown Data, is glossed only as breaking down orders 'by item type, payment method, and more', and the Excel outputs' columns are not documented, so whether any report reaches modifier level with daypart or revenue-centre filters cannot be determined. Order payloads do carry full nested modifier detail (order-webhook sample), so the underlying data exists even though no report is documented to aggregate it.

Multi-location, franchise & enterprise governance

multi-location-org-hierarchy

Three named levels exist - org > Location Group > location - and the middle tier is a first-class object: 'A Location Group is a subset of locations in an org', created by Admins 'at the top-level page for an org', with regional groups ('West Coast Locations'), franchisee groups ('ABC Franchisee Group') and per-GM purviews as the documented uses. Permissions scope to it - a user's access is 'every location in the org', 'a single specific location', or 'a set of locations in a Location Group' - and reporting scopes to each tier: report schedules take a Scope field ('Choose which locations or regions you want the report to cover'), a Daily Org Summary Report runs at organization level ('Disable Org Summary Reports'), and one-time reports run per location. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044040291-User-Location-Access · retrieved 2026-08-04

No

multi-location-central-menu-publish

Bite has no corporate menu authoring or publish step: the documented pipeline is that each location's menu is authored in the host POS and mirrored - 'Bite syncs POS data every 10 minutes during working hours', with a per-location 'Sync Menu' button for last-minute changes, and the setup guides ('Setting Up Menus in Toast for Successful Sync with Bite') cover the POS side. Bite Admin's own menu tabs are per-location presentation edits (sections, items, photos, day parts, dining options). No org-level menu object, no publish-to-locations action, and no publish/version history appear anywhere in the help centre; pushing one menu to many locations is the province of the connected POS's enterprise tooling. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051199311-Manually-Syncing-Menu-from-POS · retrieved 2026-08-04

hardware-offline-mode

Kiosks stop taking orders when connectivity drops rather than degrading gracefully: the support page's enumerated causes for 'Kiosk is unable to place an order' are an internet blip ('please re-try sending the order'), unplugged cables/modem, 'Internet down', a firewall 'blocking our connection to the kiosk', and 'POS connection down or interrupted'. The Elo and Esper offline-kiosk articles treat an offline device purely as a fault to repair (reboot, whitelist check, factory reset) - neither describes any degraded operating mode. No documented list of which functions degrade exists because none continue: kiosks tender no cash, and the expo printer prints via cloud-polled Epson Server Direct Print, so nothing reaches the kitchen offline either. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036891332-Kiosk-unable-to-place-Order · retrieved 2026-08-04

REPLACES an undated first-pass placeholder that said 'No developer portal or public API reference found from the marketing site' -- while extensibility-oauth-partner-apps sits at no A in this same record citing this very page, retrieved 2026-08-04. Re-fetched 2026-09-01: HTTP 200 anonymously, 650 KB, no robots.txt on the host (404, allowed under RFC 9309). The document states its own purpose -- 'Bite exposes online ordering functionality through a REST API which third party developers can use to create applications on top of the Bite platform' -- and its navigation enumerates the v2 surface: Introduction, Bite Nomenclature, Usage Basics, Changelog, then API Reference sections for Customer v2 (Account Management, Delivery Addresses, Order History, Payment Methods, Push Tokens), Locations v2 (Pick a Location), Menu v2, Orders v2, Mobile App Config v2, Reporting v2, Webhooks, and Embedding Bite in a 3rd Party Mobile App. Nothing on the path required an agreement, NDA or sales call. https://documentation.getbite.com/openapi/v2/bite-api-v2 · retrieved 2026-09-01

The API reference specifies static bearer-token auth, not OAuth: 'Authorization: Must be set to Bearer: API_TOKEN' alongside fixed x-bite-org-id and x-customer-app-scope headers; OAuth 2.0 appears nowhere in the document. Operator tokens are issued from the Bite Admin Portal > org > API Token tab (the Reporting API help article says to email support if none exist), third-party developer credentials are provisioned per sandbox by Bite, and webhooks 'can be configured by Bite employees at the organization level' - there is no scoped, operator-granted, individually revocable OAuth flow. https://documentation.getbite.com/openapi/v2/bite-api-v2 · retrieved 2026-08-04

extensibility-webhooks-push

Push webhooks exist but cover exactly two event types: 'Order sent webhooks will be sent as soon as the order is sent to the POS', and order-updated fires 'if the guest provides an email address for a receipt after completing an order, provides a satisfaction score, or if there has been a refund made for an order'. Shortfall: no distinct paid or voided events (payment state rides inside the order-sent payload; refunds surface only via order-updated), and registration is not self-serve - operators email support@getbite.com with a destination URL and 'we will set it up and reach back out with a private key'; the API reference likewise says webhooks 'can be configured by Bite employees at the organization level'. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/13433960302868-Bite-order-webhooks-for-operators · retrieved 2026-08-04

Reliability, offline & operations

No

reliability-offline-order-entry

Order entry does not continue on-terminal through an outage: 'Kiosk is unable to place an order' is diagnosed entirely as connectivity - internet blip (remedy: 're-try sending the order'), unplugged cables, 'Internet down', firewall, 'POS connection down or interrupted' - and the offline-kiosk runbooks (Elo, Esper) exist to bring the device back online, not to keep it selling. Ticket routing is not Bite's either ('how it routes to your KDS is controlled entirely by your POS and KDS configuration—not by Bite'), and the only Bite-attached printer polls a cloud endpoint via Epson Server Direct Print, so no order capture, routing or printing survives a WAN loss. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036891332-Kiosk-unable-to-place-Order · retrieved 2026-08-04

Bite has no offline kitchen path. KDS routing is not Bite's function at all - 'Once the POS has accepted an order, how it routes to your KDS is controlled entirely by your POS and KDS configuration—not by Bite' - and the order pipeline feeding it requires live internet and a live POS connection ('Kiosk unable to place Order' lists 'Internet down' and 'POS connection down or interrupted' among the causes). The optional expo printer prints via Epson Server Direct Print polling a cloud endpoint. With no offline order capture and no Bite-side ticket routing, nothing prints or displays during an outage. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/49061341209364-Orders-Not-Appearing-on-Kitchen-Display-KDS · retrieved 2026-08-04

No failover and no printer alert exists. The available alert rules are enumerated - Generic Sending Order Error, Item 86'd sending Order, Kiosk Down or Missing, Kiosk Inactive, Kiosk Turned Off Manually, Ordering, Sending Order Time Out, Sending Webhook Error, Uncommitted Transactions - and none concerns an unreachable printer. 'Expo Printer Onboarding' configures a single Epson via Server Direct Print with no backup printer, fallback routing or ticket-loss protection described; kitchen-ticket routing generally belongs to the host POS, not Bite. https://getbite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035091252-Kiosk-Alerting-Rules · retrieved 2026-08-04

Capability claims

ClaimAs first scoredVerdictWhat the verifier found
order-capture-offline-order-entryunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-noThe vendor's own support page enumerates the causes of a kiosk being unable to place an order, and they are connectivity: 'Internet down', unplugged cables/modem, firewall blocks, and 'POS connection down or interrupted', with the remedy 're-try sending the order'. The Elo and Esper offline-kiosk articles treat offline purely as a fault to repair. No offline ordering scope is published and kiosks tender no cash, so every element of the claim is positively absent. source
menu-pricing-modifier-price-by-parent-sizeunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-noThe POS Wallet Settings article states modifier pricing 'lives in the POS (such as Toast) and is not directly editable within Bite' and that 'Bite does not independently calculate modifier allowance logic' - the kiosk mirrors synced POS prices. There is no Bite-side price configuration at all, so no matrix by parent item and size can be configured in Bite; the capability belongs to the connected POS. source
menu-pricing-topping-quantity-tiersunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-partialThe kiosk demonstrably applies POS-defined tiered modifier pricing at order time (first-N-free allowances with per-extra charges) and syncs Revel intensity descriptors like 'light on the onions' via mod codes. Held at partial because nothing is configurable in Bite - tiers are count-based allowances defined in the host POS, not per-tier price multipliers, and light/extra/double descriptors are documented only for the Revel integration. source
payments-gift-cardsunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-noThe vendor's own kiosks page classifies gift cards as part of 'your existing tech stacks' that Bite 'seamlessly integrates with', i.e. an external system, and the 181-article help centre has no gift-card issuance, balance or redemption article. A first-party gift card program with cross-location balance does not exist in the product. source
labor-granular-rbacunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-partialRights & Roles documents custom roles built from discrete named rights with prerequisites, and User Location Access documents scoping a user to all locations, one location, or a Location Group. Held at partial because each user carries exactly one org-level role, so rights cannot vary per location for a user, and the claim's register actions (void, comp, discount, drawer open) have no equivalent in a kiosk layer. source
reporting-realtime-dashboardunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-partialA browser-run on-demand Sales Summary covers same-day sales and the Orders tab shows individual orders immediately (failure-alert emails deep-link to orders in Bite Admin), so off-premise browser visibility exists. Held at partial because the documented model is generate-on-demand or scheduled email, not a persistent live dashboard, and no mobile admin app appears anywhere in the help centre. source
extensibility-oauth-partner-appsunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-noThe API reference mandates 'Authorization: Must be set to Bearer: API_TOKEN' with fixed org headers and never mentions OAuth 2.0; operator tokens come from an Admin Portal API Token tab, developer credentials are provisioned by Bite per sandbox, and webhooks are 'configured by Bite employees at the organization level'. The documented auth model is static tokens, which is the enumerated alternative to the claimed OAuth flow. source
extensibility-webhooks-pushunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-partialPush webhooks are documented (order-sent fires as soon as the order reaches the POS; order-updated on receipt email, satisfaction score, or refund), so the platform is not polling-only. Held at partial because coverage is two event types with no distinct paid/voided events and setup is done by Bite support via email with a private key, not self-serve. source
reliability-offline-kds-printingunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-noBite's own KDS troubleshooting article states routing to the KDS 'is controlled entirely by your POS and KDS configuration - not by Bite', and the order path that would feed any kitchen output requires live internet and POS connectivity per 'Kiosk unable to place Order'. The expo printer is cloud-driven (Epson Server Direct Print). There is no Bite kitchen path that could continue offline. source
reliability-printer-fallbackunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-noThe Kiosk Alerting Rules article enumerates the nine available alert types and none concerns an unreachable printer, which defeats the claim's alerting half; Expo Printer Onboarding configures a single Epson target via Server Direct Print with no backup routing or failover described, and kitchen-ticket routing otherwise belongs to the host POS. source
order-capture-scheduled-ordersunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-partialFuture-dated ordering is documented as a location feature - pickup time slots at 'locations that have future orders enabled', per-dining-option Order Throttling of time windows, Order Lead Times tiers, and a 'Future Orders' report of 'all pre-orders coming up'. Held at partial because lead-time rules are per location/menu section rather than per channel, and no document shows Bite firing a held order into the make queue at a computed time - kitchen routing is 'controlled entirely by your POS and KDS configuration', so fire timing belongs to the host POS. source
guest-loyalty-unified-profileunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-partialPrevious Orders Configuration documents cross-channel history at the kiosk: with 'lookup order history on loyalty' enabled, 'Previous orders will display across all ordering platforms (online, kiosk, app) when customer is logged into loyalty'. Held at partial because the profile is maintained by the integrated loyalty provider (Punchh/Olo/Incentivio), not Bite - the Bite-only lookup covers kiosk orders alone, signup is an SMS link out to the external loyalty program, and no dedup/merge behaviour is documented. source
multi-location-org-hierarchyunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-yesUser Location Access documents org > Location Group > location with the group as a first-class object ('A Location Group is a subset of locations in an org', created by Admins at the org's top-level page) that user permissions scope to, and reporting scopes to every tier: report-schedule Scope 'Choose which locations or regions you want the report to cover', an org-level Daily Org Summary Report, and per-location one-time reports. That satisfies the three-level, permission- and reporting-scoped hierarchy the claim asks for. source
multi-location-central-menu-publishunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-noThe documented menu pipeline is per-location POS mirroring - 'Bite syncs POS data every 10 minutes during working hours' with a per-location manual Sync Menu button, and menu setup guides cover authoring in the host POS (Toast). Bite Admin menu tabs are per-location presentation edits. There is no org-level menu object, no publish-to-locations action and no version history; central publish is the connected POS's job, which is the enumerated alternative. source
multi-location-price-zonesunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-noBite's own pricing article states configuration 'lives in the POS (such as Toast) and is not directly editable within Bite' and that 'the kiosk pricing should mirror the behavior seen in the POS'; menus arrive by POS sync. With no Bite-side price field, per-location-group, per-channel or per-daypart tiers cannot be configured in Bite - the capability belongs to the connected POS, consistent with the modifier-price-by-parent-size resolution. source
hardware-offline-modeunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-no'Kiosk unable to place Order' enumerates the causes of a kiosk not taking orders and they are all connectivity ('Internet down', cables, firewall, 'POS connection down or interrupted'), with retry as the remedy; the Elo and Esper offline-kiosk articles are pure repair runbooks with no degraded operating mode. Kiosks tender no cash and the expo printer is cloud-polled, so no function continues offline and no degradation list exists to publish. source
reliability-offline-order-entryunknown / F - placeholder rationale "No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass", meaning the cell was never examinedresolve-to-noSame evidence base as hardware-offline-mode and the already-resolved order-capture-offline-order-entry: order placement requires live internet and a live POS connection per the vendor's own troubleshooting page, ticket routing is 'controlled entirely by your POS and KDS configuration - not by Bite', and the only Bite-attached printer polls a cloud endpoint via Epson Server Direct Print. Order entry, routing and printing all stop when the WAN drops. source
