Ordering API

The Ordering API is a separate product. Contact sales@everybite.com for access.
The EveryBite Ordering API provides a unified abstraction layer on top of existing restaurant ordering platforms. Instead of integrating directly with multiple ordering systems, you integrate once with EveryBite and gain access to all supported platforms.

​
Architecture

Ordering API Architecture
Your application integrates with the EveryBite Ordering API once, and we handle communication with the underlying ordering platforms. The EveryBite layer adds:
  • Unified Cart Management - Consistent cart operations across all platforms
  • Nutrition Tracking - Real-time nutrition data for every item
  • Allergen Warnings - Automatic alerts based on diner preferences
  • Passport Integration - Saved addresses, payment methods, preferences
  • Loyalty Auto-Apply - Connected loyalty programs applied at checkout
  • Meal History - Orders recorded with full nutrition data

​

​

query {
  dishes(menuKey: "mk_honeygrow", preferences: { avoidAllergens: [PEANUT] }) {
    results {
      dish {
        id
        name
        price
        nutrition { calories, protein }
        allergens { type, displayName }
      }
      matchStatus
    }
  }
}

​
2. Add to Cart (Ordering API)

Add items with full EveryBite context: 
mutation AddToCart($input: AddToCartInput!) {
  addToCart(input: $input) {
    cart {
      id
      items {
        id
        dish { name, price }
        quantity
        customizations { name, price }
        nutrition { calories }  # Real-time nutrition for customized item
      }
      subtotal
      estimatedTotal
    }
    allergenWarnings {
      allergen
      severity
      dishName
    }
  }
}

​
3. Select Fulfillment

Choose pickup or delivery: 
mutation SetFulfillment($cartId: ID!, $fulfillment: FulfillmentInput!) {
  setFulfillment(cartId: $cartId, fulfillment: $fulfillment) {
    cart {
      fulfillment {
        type          # PICKUP, DELIVERY, CURBSIDE
        scheduledTime # null for ASAP
        address {     # For delivery
          street1
          city

​
Integration with Menu API

The Ordering API enriches cart data with Menu API information:
  • Nutrition totals - Cart shows total calories, macros for entire order
  • Allergen warnings - Automatic alerts if cart contains user’s allergens
  • Match status - See if items match diner’s preferences
query GetCartWithNutrition($cartId: ID!) {
  cart(id: $cartId) {
    items {
      dish { name }
      nutrition { calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat }
    }
    totals {
      nutrition {
        calories      # Total for entire order
        protein
        carbohydrates
        fat
      }
    }
  }
}

​

    mealRecorded {
