Hostie is the modern, restaurant centric alternative to SoundHound

Hostie is built by restaurant operators for restaurant teams—designed to make every guest interaction feel seamless, warm, and human. SoundHound, by contrast, emphasizes scale and flexibility, supporting not only phone but also drive‑thru and in‑vehicle ordering experiences.

No contracts. No strings attached. All upside. That’s why thousands of restaurants choose Hostie.

Hostie allows our team to stay off the phone while still handling common guest questions and reservation-related calls, such as cancellations or party size changes. It has improved over time, now collecting large party inquiries and syncing them directly with Perfect Venue instead of relying on guests to fill out forms. The integration was seamless, and the Hostie team has been consistently involved, ensuring the AI delivers accurate information and supports our team effectively.
