Hostie
Hostie is an AI-powered virtual concierge for restaurants that answers every call, text, email, and message in the restaurant's own voice so operators never miss a guest and staff can stay focused on in-room service. The conversational AI platform handles phone volume, captures reservations and takeout orders, fields private-event inquiries, and unifies guest communication across calls, texts, emails, Instagram, and Google Maps, with live call transcripts, multilingual support (20 languages), guest history, and data ownership. Restaurant partners include Tonchin, Trader Vic's, Flour + Water, The Slanted Door Group, and The Stinking Rose Group. Hostie raised a $12M Series A led by Obvious Ventures (July 2026), bringing total funding to $16M. Hostie is a business SaaS product and does not currently publish a public API, SDKs, or developer documentation; this profile is maintained in the API Evangelist network for company/portfolio tracking.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Hostie the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Hostie scores 16.1/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Hostie
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Hostie. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
