Any local business
Food ordering with modifiers, retail product cards, rebooking and reorders — the same agent rails work across restaurants and shops.

The merchant advantage
No marketplace commission. The chat belongs to your business.
HostBuddy is not a delivery marketplace. WhatsApp orders are placed through your supported POS and native ordering stack, so you avoid a 15%–30% commission and keep the direct customer relationship — including the reorder next month.

Why it spreads
The channel your customers never had to install.
"People message us at 10 PM asking if something's in stock. Now they get an answer — and half of them pay right there."
"Phone orders used to mean putting someone on hold during the rush. WhatsApp orders just show up on the POS."
