Kitchit
Kitchit was a San Francisco on-demand private-chef marketplace founded in 2011 by Brendan Marshall and Ian Ferguson. The service matched consumers with vetted professional chefs who shopped, cooked, served, and cleaned up a multi-course meal in the customer's own home, booked through the kitchit.com web and mobile storefront. In 2015 the company pivoted from fully customized menus to a lower-priced standardized product marketed as "Kitchit Tonight," priced around $39 per person with a two-person minimum. Kitchit served more than 100,000 meals across roughly five years of operation and reported a net promoter score of 87. It raised approximately $8.1M, with investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Crosslink Capital, Javelin Venture Partners, and Otter Rock Capital. The company announced its shutdown in April 2016, with the founders citing a finite investment runway that ended amid broad upheaval in food-tech, alongside contemporaneous failures at SpoonRocket, Dinner Lab, and Kitchensurfing. Kitchit is defunct: it operates no website, developer portal, or public API today, and no public API surface was ever published. This profile is retained as a historical/defunct provider record for network completeness.
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 Kitchit the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — Kitchit scores 7.4/100 (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.

How we profile Kitchit
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kitchit. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
