Lish

Lish is a corporate catering and workplace food service company serving Seattle and the Bellevue/Eastside area of Washington, including Redmond and Kirkland. It connects employers with a curated roster of local partner chefs and runs the whole workplace meal program — menu curation, ordering, delivery and setup — across four service lines: subscription catering, PopUp restaurants that employees buy from directly, on-demand one-off catering, and occasion catering for breakfast, lunch, box lunches, happy hours, meetings and events. The company reports more than 3,000,000 meals served, 100+ curated menus from dozens of partner chefs, an average meal rating of 4.6 stars, and 97.8% of orders delivered on time within a 20-minute window, with dietary accommodation (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free) as a stated focus. Lish describes an admin dashboard, budget tracking, GPS delivery tracking, Google Calendar and Outlook menu visibility and Slack feedback notifications, but these are end-user product integrations — Lish operates no developer program and publishes no product API. The only public, self-describing HTTP API is the WordPress REST API behind its marketing site, profiled here.

Lish publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Categories API, Comments API, Media API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Company, Catering, Food and Beverage, Food Delivery, and Workplace.

Lish’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 16 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/lish: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
