SpotOn
SpotOn is an all-in-one restaurant point-of-sale and management platform that combines POS, online ordering, reservations, payments, labor, and reporting for restaurants and hospitality businesses. For developers and integration partners, SpotOn offers the Restaurant POS Export API, a location-centric REST API that delivers close-to-realtime data export from the SpotOn Restaurant POS System. It exposes resources such as orders, menu items, modifiers, employees, taxes, surcharges, payment options, labor reports, and time clock entries. Authentication uses an API key supplied via the x-api-key request header, with access granted on a per-location basis. SpotOn also publishes the Reserve API (powered by SeatNinja) for its reservations and waitlist product.
SpotOn publishes 15 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Availability API, Cash Deposits API, Employees API, and 12 more. Tagged areas include Restaurant, Point of Sale, Payments, Online Ordering, and Reservations.
The SpotOn catalog on APIs.io includes 2 JSON-LD contexts and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
SpotOn’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, support, engineering blog, and 15 more developer resources.
