Hostie is an AI guest-communication platform that answers restaurant calls and texts around the clock, books tables, handles private-event enquiries and takes orders. After a $4M seed led by Gradient Ventures, it raised a $12M Series A led by Obvious Ventures in July 2026 to expand integrations, launch new products and grow nationally.
Hostie's own plans focus on deeper links with reservation systems, POS platforms and event tools, workflows for multi-location groups, and direct takeout ordering. Each integration is slow to build and costly to maintain, and every new restaurant group brings a different combination of systems. A dedicated squad that builds integrations on a shared adapter framework would let the core team stay focused on the AI.
Each new POS or reservation partner is a separate project with its own edge cases.
Operators with many venues need one view, with rules set per location.
Phone orders have to reach the kitchen with no manual entry and no surprises at the till.
Interface sketches are illustrative. Final design is agreed with your team in discovery.
Senior engineers write the production code. Repositories, cloud accounts and documentation stay with you from day one.
Join standups, review the integration roadmap, agree on the adapter contract.
Two priority POS or reservation systems shipped on the new contract.
Multi-location dashboard and the takeout bridge in beta.
Playbook for further adapters; squad continues monthly if it is working.
Cross-border payments for exporters. App, web and admin built around a ledger that has to reconcile to the cent.
A commerce technology build across app, web and admin, connecting online ordering with retail operations.
Global business accounts and FX. Interfaces and services for money moving across borders.
Founders stay on every engagement. The engineers on the first call are the engineers who write the code.
