Cheetah
Cheetah (Cheetah Technologies, with its software platform also marketed as Kimelo) is an AI-enabled, app-based restaurant supply and wholesale ordering marketplace launched in 2015 to bridge the digital gap in foodservice. Its eCommerce platform gives small to medium-sized food distributors and restaurants tools for online ordering, process automation, delivery route optimization, supply chain management, and customer retention, with next-day delivery of daily supplies. In June 2024 the company divested its physical distribution business (Pleasanton, CA) to Palo Alto Foods to focus on commercializing its software platform nationwide. The platform provides digital product catalogs, personalized purchasing insights, integrated payment processing, routing management, and automated inventory tracking, and lets distributors integrate directly with their ERP or inventory management and point-of-sale systems to automate order placement. Cheetah does not appear to publish a public developer API or developer portal; integration is offered through direct ERP, inventory, and POS system connections arranged with the company rather than self-service documented endpoints.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Cheetah the way a machine reads it — 17 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Cheetah scores 8.1/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
