Vendors / QSR & drive-thru
Bite Ninja
Remote human cashier marketplace — 'NinjaQ' queues virtual order takers across a chain's drive-thrus and front counters — now owned by Voicify, which pairs it with AI; it is a labor product, not a POS, and is a separate company from Bite/getbite.com.

order-capture-scheduled-orders
/product-info enumerates the product's entire order-capture model and both modes are live-only: a direct integration with PAR Brink and Revel that lets the remote cashier 'tap into your menu via API' and enter the order in real time, or the 'Shinobi' remote-access fallback where 'your remote workers will use the POS in the exact same way as your in-store team' on a dedicated register. Capture is triggered by NinjaQ presence detection — a remote cashier is dispatched when a car or walk-up customer is detected at the station (NinjaQ launch release, 2026-08-04) — so there is no order channel of Bite Ninja's own into which a future-dated order could arrive, and no make queue of its own to inject at a fire time; both belong to the merchant's underlying POS. /faq and /for-restaurants (2026-08-04) likewise mention no scheduled or order-ahead path. https://www.biteninja.com/product-info · retrieved 2026-08-04

labor-granular-rbac
Checked biteninja.com in full on 2026-08-04 — home, /about, /for-restaurants, /product-info, /faq, /terms and /privacy are the entire public site and none describes a permission model. /for-restaurants covers 'manage from anywhere', NinjaQ queueing and Ninja vetting; /privacy mentions only 'registering for an account'. There is no admin guide: the footer support link goes to biteninja.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new, a ticket-submission form, and the Freshdesk knowledge base paths /support/solutions and /support/home both return HTTP 404, so no public help centre exists. The operator console at app.biteninja.com could not be reached — its TLS certificate has expired. Note also that this is a remote-labour layer that either injects orders through PAR Brink/Revel APIs or drives the merchant's own register via 'Shinobi' remote access, so per-action register permissions may well belong to the underlying POS rather than to Bite Ninja; nothing published settles which.
labor-manager-override-audit
Same sweep of the seven public biteninja.com pages on 2026-08-04, plus the NinjaQ launch release and the Voicify acquisition coverage: no page mentions overrides, approvals, approver attribution or an audit trail. The Freshdesk knowledge base is 404 (ticket form only) and app.biteninja.com serves an expired certificate, so there is no admin documentation to read. Unresolved rather than absent — under the 'Shinobi' deployment the remote worker operates the restaurant's existing register, so voids and comps would be logged by that POS, and Bite Ninja publishes nothing about whether it attributes the acting Ninja on top of that.

Reporting, BI & data access
reporting-realtime-dashboard
/for-restaurants (2026-08-04) advertises a web-based platform to 'manage from anywhere' and 'optimize schedules', and the product is billed on a per-transaction fee, so order volume is evidently measured — but no vendor page describes a sales dashboard, its refresh latency, or a mobile app, and Bite Ninja is a labour layer whose sales are recorded in the merchant's own POS. The only latency-relevant material is marketing prose. No help centre exists to check (biteninja.freshdesk.com/support/solutions and /support/home both 404; the footer support link is a ticket form), and app.biteninja.com, where such a dashboard would live, presents an expired TLS certificate and could not be opened.

Integrations, API & extensibility
extensibility-public-api-docs
The claim tests publication itself, and the vendor's public estate answers it. docs.biteninja.com is Bite Ninja's only public documentation host and its entire content is contributor onboarding plus one reference page, /reference/ninjas — a user guide for the remote cashiers (microphone/camera setup, the Lobby, returning to the Lobby) — with no endpoints, authentication, schemas or webhooks anywhere. The biteninja.com pages-sitemap enumerates the full site (blog, terms, faq, ninjas, privacy, product-info, about, for-restaurants, contact, book-a-demo) with no developer section; api.biteninja.com returns 404 and developers./developer./help./support.biteninja.com do not resolve. The github.com/bite-ninja org's only public repository is 'keysender', a Windows desktop-automation library, not an API or SDK. /product-info describes the product solely as an API consumer of PAR Brink and Revel with 'Shinobi' remote access as the fallback and offers no outward API. No public, self-serve API reference exists to read, with or without an agreement. https://docs.biteninja.com/ · retrieved 2026-08-04

extensibility-oauth-partner-apps
Bite Ninja appears in /product-info (2026-08-04) only as an API CONSUMER: 'We currently have a direct integration with PAR Brink and Revel' which 'tap[s] into your menu via API', with 'Shinobi' remote access as the fallback where no integration exists. Nothing on the site offers an outward API, app marketplace, developer portal or partner authentication of any kind, and no developer documentation host could be found (documentation.getbite.com belongs to Bite/getbite.com, a different company, and must not be read onto this record). Unresolved rather than 'no': the absence of a public developer site is not the vendor stating that partner apps cannot be authorised, and no vendor page enumerates the authentication options.
extensibility-webhooks-push
No API surface of any kind is published. /product-info (2026-08-04) describes only inbound integrations to PAR Brink and Revel and the 'Shinobi' screen-level fallback, and mentions no events, subscriptions or callbacks; /faq, /for-restaurants and the Voicify acquisition material are silent on integration mechanics beyond 'offsite order injection' into the merchant POS and a headset audio link. There is no developer portal, OpenAPI spec or help centre to test the claim against (Freshdesk KB 404s; app.biteninja.com has an expired certificate), so the polling-versus-push question is unresolved, not answered.

commercial-autorenew-terms-published
The Terms of Use is the only publicly accessible contract document on the site, and it is written mainly for the 'Ninja' independent contractors — account creation, contractor classification, arbitration, IP, disclaimers. The single fee provision is 'You may not receive a refund of fees. If you have paid for any services and you decide to terminate your account, you may use those services through the end of the commitment period.' It acknowledges a commitment period but never states its length, whether it renews automatically, or any cancellation notice window. No MSA, order form or subscription-terms page exists; /faq states pricing is customised per partner ('a per-transaction fee for access to the platform, and a separate hourly fee for Ninja usage') and directs buyers to book a demo, so renewal mechanics live only in a signed quote. Scored no on the publication test itself, which the vendor's own public terms settle; the underlying renewal term remains undisclosed. https://www.biteninja.com/terms · retrieved 2026-08-04

commercial-hardware-purchase-outright
Hardware is required — /faq: 'The software platform works in tandem with a small hardware component to tap into your restaurant's headset and POS system' — and the Voicify acquisition release describes the platform as combining 'both proprietary hardware and software'. No price for it is published anywhere: /faq says 'We customize pricing for our restaurant partners depending on integration needs, number of locations, and service type(s)', /for-restaurants gives only the per-transaction platform fee plus hourly Ninja fee structure and a demo form, and the site has no pricing page or hardware store at all. The claim's published-price limb therefore fails on the vendor's own pricing statements. Whether the hardware component is sold outright or bundled/rented is separately undisclosed, so no lease term is asserted here. https://www.biteninja.com/faq · retrieved 2026-08-04

Capability claims
| Claim | As first scored | Verdict | What the verifier found |
|---|---|---|---|
| commercial-autorenew-terms-published | unknown, grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' — the cell was never examined | resolve-to-no | Read the vendor's only public contract document. biteninja.com/terms is written mainly for the Ninja contractors and its sole fee clause is 'You may not receive a refund of fees. If you have paid for any services and you decide to terminate your account, you may use those services through the end of the commitment period.' A commitment period is acknowledged; its length, whether it auto-renews, and any notice window are not stated. There is no MSA or subscription-terms page, and /faq confirms pricing is customised per partner behind a demo form, so the renewal term exists only in a signed quote. The claim tests publication, and the published terms answer it. source |
| commercial-hardware-purchase-outright | unknown, grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' — the cell was never examined | resolve-to-no | Hardware is required: /faq says the platform 'works in tandem with a small hardware component to tap into your restaurant's headset and POS system', and the Voicify acquisition release calls the platform 'both proprietary hardware and software'. No price is published for it. /faq: 'We customize pricing for our restaurant partners depending on integration needs, number of locations, and service type(s)'; /for-restaurants gives only a per-transaction platform fee plus an hourly Ninja fee and a demo form. The site has no pricing page and no hardware store, so the claim's published-price requirement is falsified by the vendor's own pricing statements. No lease is asserted — the commercial form of the hardware component is simply undisclosed. source |
| order-capture-scheduled-orders | unknown, grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' — the cell was never examined | resolve-to-no | /product-info (2026-08-04) enumerates the complete order-capture model and both modes are live-only: direct API integration with PAR Brink and Revel where the remote cashier enters the order in real time, or 'Shinobi' remote access where 'your remote workers will use the POS in the exact same way as your in-store team' on a dedicated register. NinjaQ dispatches a cashier only when a customer is detected present at the drive-thru or front counter (NinjaQ launch release). Bite Ninja therefore has no order channel of its own for a future-dated order to arrive through and no make queue of its own to fire it into — both belong to the merchant's underlying POS. /faq and /for-restaurants mention no scheduled or order-ahead path. Consistent with the record's existing structural noes (split-merge, offline entry, menu engine). source |
| extensibility-public-api-docs | unknown, grade F, placeholder rationale 'No public documentation located during the 2026-08-01 research pass' — the cell was never examined | resolve-to-no | The claim tests whether public, self-serve API reference documentation is readable, and an exhaustive sweep of the vendor's public estate on 2026-08-04 shows none exists: docs.biteninja.com (the only documentation host) contains contributor onboarding and a single /reference/ninjas user guide for remote cashiers, with no endpoints, auth or schemas; the pages-sitemap lists the whole of biteninja.com (ten marketing/legal pages) with no developer section; api.biteninja.com 404s; developers., developer., help. and support. subdomains do not resolve; the github.com/bite-ninja org's sole public repo is a desktop-automation library. /product-info positions the product only as an API consumer of PAR Brink and Revel. documentation.getbite.com belongs to Bite/getbite.com, a different company, and was not read onto this record. Like the commercial publication cells, the publication test itself is answered by the vendor's own public surface. source |
