What it does
Get your FREE AI phone agent — then build an AI team for your restaurant with HostBuddy Agent Studio. Automate front-office tasks like calls, text-to-order, reservations, VIP memberships, and self-running marketing, while your staff focuses on guests and operations. Grow repeat visits and recurring revenue through Costco-style memberships. Available for leading POS systems. Winner of Square’s Best Use of Generative AI award.
HostBuddy runs AI agents for commerce—answering every call and chat, taking orders across phone, SMS and Slack, publishing promotions, and uncovering new revenue for restaurants and markets.
One Buddy that automates phone answering, text ordering, and marketing — your revenue on autopilot. Ask Buddy how to grow your revenue — Try to Earn 200 FREE Credits. 🏆 VIP memberships your guests subscribe to: a monthly fee for perks on every visit — a free item, a discount, an intro credit. Add one-time value packs (pay $50, get $60 of store credit) and your best guests pay you up front. The agents sell both, and offers are enforced automatically at checkout. Watch it in action. Every request routes to the best model for the job — premium voice where it wins orders, lean open-source models everywhere else, so token costs stay low while checks grow.
