No chasing responses, counting meals, remembering restrictions, copying items or reconciling totals.
#1 B2B food-ordering agent inside Slack
Group lunch.
Group lunch.
Zero chaos.
Everyone chooses.
Employees order naturally in the channel. HostBuddy keeps each person’s items separate, handles dietary preferences, and sends one accurate group order to the restaurant.

Built for the whole team
The office manager stops coordinating lunch. Employees stop compromising.
HostBuddy turns a messy thread of preferences, substitutions, allergies, vegan meals and kosher requests into one structured order.
☺
Employees choose
Each person picks what they actually want from the restaurant menu, directly in the shared Slack channel.
↗
Restaurants keep the margin
No third-party delivery commission. High-value group orders go directly through the restaurant’s supported POS and ordering stack.
Natural ordering
People just talk about food. HostBuddy understands the order.

The restaurant advantage
No third-party delivery commission. The order goes directly to the restaurant.
HostBuddy is not a delivery marketplace. Corporate group orders are placed through the restaurant’s supported POS and native ordering stack, so the restaurant avoids a 15%–30% marketplace commission and keeps the direct customer relationship.

Why it spreads
A rare ordering channel that companies, employees and restaurants all want.
“I no longer need to remember who is vegan, kosher, gluten-free or skipping lunch.”
“We can promote direct corporate ordering without giving away a large marketplace commission.”
