Reviewer Notes

TouchBistro lacks foundational agent-native infrastructure—no MCP server, OpenAPI spec, or llms.txt. The API documentation is sparse and not publicly discoverable; agents cannot self-onboard. Account creation requires manual intervention (no programmatic signup), and there's no free tier or sandbox environment for testing. While the platform is reliable for restaurant operations, it's not designed for autonomous agent integration.
