Ritual (ritual-ordering)

About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

Not from the company, and here with a question? You are welcome here — we would rather be the front line and point you the right way than have a good report go nowhere. What this repository can answer is narrow, though, so it is worth knowing who you are actually looking for:

  • A question about how the API works, an account, billing, or a bug in the service — that is the company's own support, not us. We profile this API; we do not operate it and cannot see your account.
  • A bug in an open-source project we only catalog — file it on that project's own repository. This has happened with a real and correct bug report that reached us instead of the people who could fix it, which helped nobody.
  • Anything about this listing itself — the description, the tags, the rating, a missing or wrong artifact — is ours. Open an issue here.
  • Not sure, or something general about API Evangelist or APIs.io — open an issue on the APIs.io Inbox and we will route it.

This repository contains no software, and we will never ask you to download anything. There is no build, release, installer, or binary here — only text and machine-readable API descriptions, so there is nothing here that can be "corrupt" or need "repairing". Any issue, comment, or email claiming otherwise and offering a download link is not from us and is hostile. Do not follow the link; it is a lure. Report it to GitHub and, if you like, tell us at info@apievangelist.com so we can take it down.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

Ritual is a Toronto-based restaurant order-ahead and "social ordering" platform (ritual.co, founded 2014 by Ray Reddy, Larry Stinson, and Robert Kim). Consumers use the Ritual mobile app to pre-order, pay, and skip the line at local restaurants and coffee shops, and colleagues can pile onto a shared order for group pickup. For restaurants, Ritual offers Ritual ONE (online ordering), plus perk programs for companies and buildings and a Ritual for Coffee product.

API Access Model

Ritual does not publish a public or self-serve developer API. This entry is an honest documentation stub. As of this review:

  • There is no developer portal, API reference, SDK, or authentication documentation on ritual.co.
  • The API Tracker profile for Ritual is an empty placeholder with no endpoints, auth, or docs.
  • Restaurant-side integration (getting Ritual orders into a point-of-sale system) is delivered through partner/POS integrations documented for operators at partnersupport.ritual.co (e.g. Toast) and through third-party ordering aggregators such as Deliverect, which run a two-way integration between Ritual and the restaurant's POS.
  • None of this exposes a Ritual-published, publicly consumable API. Access is via the consumer apps (iOS/Android/web) and partner-gated integrations arranged through Ritual's partnerships team.

Because no public API is documented, no openapi/, plans/, rate-limits/, finops/, or collections/ artifacts are included, and no endpoints are modeled (endpointsModeled: none).

Operating Status

Operational but distressed and in transition. Ritual continues to run its consumer order-ahead app and Ritual ONE online-ordering platform as of 2025, but the business has been in financial decline - revenue fell from ~US$11M (2021) to ~US$8.4M (2023) to ~US$3.9M (H1 2024), with dwindling cash and repeated layoffs (staff cut to under 50). In January 2025, Shopify "acqui-hired" the co-founders (CEO Ray Reddy joined Shopify as VP of Retail, working on Shopify POS) and much of the R&D team, while a separate process to sell the standalone Ritual business (with at least two interested buyers in due diligence) was underway. The long-term future of the standalone platform is uncertain.

Pricing

  • Consumers: the app is free to download and use.
  • Restaurants: historically a flat ~US$49/month per location for Ritual ONE; Ritual has repeatedly marketed its basic online-ordering tool as commission-free / "free" to restaurants (including a City of Toronto partnership providing a free ordering tool to local foodservice businesses). No current public pricing page is published - restaurant pricing is quoted through sales.
