The storeFeatures field is a bitmask integer representing various store capabilities. Each bit corresponds to a feature:

Bit Value Feature
0 1 In-Store Pickup
1 2 Parking
2 4 Wheelchair Access
3 8 Open 24 Hours
4 16 Pet-Friendly
5 32 Free Wi-Fi
6 64 Restrooms
7 128 Home Delivery

Example 1: Find stores that don’t have Wi-Fi or in-store pickup

Find stores that don’t have either Wi-Fi OR in-store pickup (bits 0 and 5)

db.stores.find({
  storeFeatures: {  $bitsAnyClear: [0, 5] }},
  { _id: 1, name: 1, storeFeatures: 1 }).limit(5)

Equivalent:

db.stores.find({
  storeFeatures: { $bitsAnySet: 33  }},  // 1 + 32
  { _id: 1, name: 1, storeFeatures: 1 }).limit(5)

Sample output:
