Hostie

Hostie is an AI-powered virtual concierge for restaurants that answers every call, text, email, and message in the restaurant's own voice so operators never miss a guest and staff can stay focused on in-room service. The conversational AI platform handles phone volume, captures reservations and takeout orders, fields private-event inquiries, and unifies guest communication across calls, texts, emails, Instagram, and Google Maps, with live call transcripts, multilingual support (20 languages), guest history, and data ownership. Restaurant partners include Tonchin, Trader Vic's, Flour + Water, The Slanted Door Group, and The Stinking Rose Group. Hostie raised a $12M Series A led by Obvious Ventures (July 2026), bringing total funding to $16M. Hostie is a business SaaS product and does not currently publish a public API, SDKs, or developer documentation; this profile is maintained in the API Evangelist network for company/portfolio tracking.

Hostie is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Restaurants, Hospitality, Conversational AI, and Voice AI.
