Why merchants install it

Four revenue engines. One install.

Everything charges through your Stripe — we never sit between you and your money.

🔁

Members Clubs

A branded membership your regulars subscribe to — monthly benefit, visit discounts, a wallet card. Subscriptions are created on your Stripe, so MRR shows up where you already track it.

💳

Value Packs

“Pay $50, get $60.” Guests prepay through Stripe Checkout; credit auto-applies when they order. Cash up front, loyalty built in.

📞

Voice + Chat Ordering

An AI host that answers every call, knows your menu, upsells politely, and never puts anyone on hold. Works on phone, web, SMS, and kiosk.

📬

Self-Running Marketing

Weekly campaigns that pitch the club and the pack to your guest list — written, sent, and measured automatically.

User journeys

Four revenue journeys. Step by step.

What a merchant does after install — and what their guests see.

1Agents take the orders — phone, chat, Slack, kiosk

  1. Install from the marketplace. Your store is created from your Stripe profile and your products import automatically.
  2. Open the Call demo from your dashboard (or hear the live demo) and order by voice — the agent knows the menu, answers questions, and upsells politely.
  3. The same agent works your web chat, SMS, kiosk, and Slack — teams run group orders by talking to @HostBuddy in their lunch channel.
  4. Every order lands in All Orders; guests pay through Stripe Checkout on your account.
Guests order in natural language — HostBuddy builds the cart

2Members club — subscriptions on your Stripe

  1. In the console, open Membership: set the monthly fee, the benefit, and the payback promise (a starter club is pre-configured).
  2. Share your club page — /r/<your-store>/club — or let the agent pitch it on every call.
  3. Guests tap “Join with card” → Stripe Checkout (subscription mode) on your account → member card issued instantly.
  4. Renewals and cancellations sync automatically; your MRR shows up in the Stripe dashboard you already check.

4Value packs — cash up front

  1. In Settings → Packs, set your offer — e.g. pay $50, get $60 of store credit.
  2. Your ordering page and your agent promote the pack; guests prepay through Stripe Checkout on your account.
  3. Credit auto-applies when that guest orders again (matched by phone number) — loyalty points earned at purchase.
