Hostie provides an AI-powered virtual concierge platform for restaurants to manage calls, texts, reservations, takeout orders, private event inquiries, and general guest communications. Since launching, the company has scaled to hundreds of restaurant partners nationwide and reported a 10x increase in revenue over the past year. Hostie says it has handled more than 2 million guest conversations and 24 million messages, booked over 400,000 covers, and supported more than 50,000 private event inquiries.
