Your books are yours. We just fill in the paperwork.
KitchenAPI connects your Design Flex designs to QuickBooks without ever touching your QuickBooks password \u2014 and without the ability to change anything already in your books.
The four things dealers ask us
Do you see my QuickBooks password?
Never. You connect through Intuit’s own sign-in screen — the same one you use every day. We never show a password field, so there’s nothing for us to see or store. What we receive is a limited-access permission slip from Intuit, and you can cancel it any time from inside QuickBooks. The moment you do, KitchenAPI is locked out.
What can KitchenAPI actually do in my QuickBooks?
Two things: create estimates and create invoices (plus, if you allow it, add a customer or item that doesn’t exist yet). That’s the complete list. There is no way for KitchenAPI to delete transactions, edit existing entries, touch payroll, or move money — those capabilities simply don’t exist in our system. It’s not a setting we turned off; it’s a door we never built.
Do you keep a copy of my books?
No. We look up only what a conversion needs — a customer name, an item, a document number to make sure we never double-post — and nothing is bulk-exported or warehoused. Your design files pass through for processing and your finished documents land in your QuickBooks. We’re a courier, not a filing cabinet.
Is my connection secure?
Yes — bank-grade. Your QuickBooks connection is protected with 256-bit encryption, each customer’s keys are stored separately from the data they protect, and every single use of your connection is written to a permanent audit log. Everything runs on infrastructure that holds SOC 2 certification and is trusted by thousands of companies.
