Farmers Markets and Vendors
Send weekly flyers like the big brands.
HostBuddy turns the crowd at your stall into a guest list — and keeps them coming back. A raffle keyword at the table, a weekly flyer that writes itself, and guests pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay from a QR scan. No terminal to carry.

Questions we get
- Do I need a POS?
- No. HostBuddy runs on its own — guests scan a QR and pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay. If you already use Clover, Square, Stripe or Olo, connect it and your catalog syncs.
- What if I only sell on weekends?
- That is the point of the guest list. The Marketing agent keeps your guests engaged between markets so the next one does not start from zero.
- Can it answer the phone while I am serving?
- Yes. The Front Office agent answers calls and texts, takes orders and answers questions about what you have this week.
