Kitch was a Lisbon, Portugal based restaurant technology company founded in 2019 by Rui Bento and Nuno Rodrigues, both former Uber executives for southern Europe. After starting as a delivery-first "dark kitchen" operator, Kitch pivoted during the 2020 pandemic into a SaaS platform that let restaurants consolidate and manage digital orders arriving from multiple third-party delivery marketplaces — Glovo, Uber Eats, Bolt Food and Just Eat among them — on a single tablet, alongside their own direct-ordering storefront, so operators could keep control of their menus, pricing and customer identity instead of depending on the aggregator apps. Kitch raised roughly EUR 1 million in pre-seed funding led by Seedcamp and Mustard Seed MAZE, followed by a EUR 3.25 million seed round led by Atlantic Food Labs. The company was acquired by Barcelona-based delivery platform Glovo in a deal signed in January 2022 and announced in March 2022, and the standalone Kitch brand has since been retired. Kitch never published a public developer program: no developer portal, API reference, OpenAPI definition, SDK, or status page was ever published on kitch.io, and none appears in the Internet Archive's record of the domain. The kitch.io domain registration has since lapsed and now resolves to an unrelated third-party gambling site, so no live link is carried in this profile.
Kitch is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Restaurant, Food Delivery, Order Management, and Point-of-Sale.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

pricing and legal pages were ever captured — no docs, reference, spec, or status page), APITracker, Crunchbase, and GitHub

conventions, agentic-access or Agent Skills in, and no registry packages, MCP server, well-known documents, sandbox, changelog,
