    The PAR Punchh POS and Kiosk API integrates point-of-sale and kiosk
    systems with the Punchh loyalty platform: looking up guests and balances,
    creating users and check-ins, retrieving location/program configuration,
    and processing redemptions. Access requires partner certification.
    Requests authenticate with a location/business token pair and a
    structured `User-Agent`. Base URLs are provided by a Punchh representative.
