Questions restaurant owners ask us most.

Plainspoken answers to the five things we hear every week. No jargon, no runaround.

Will AI really sound like a human, or is it obviously a robot?

HostShift is trained on your menu, your specials, and your tone — not generic marketing copy. You approve every post before it goes out, so nothing generic ever leaves your account. Try it free in the content studio and see for yourself.

Does HostShift post to Instagram automatically for me?

HostShift drafts posts and (on Enterprise with direct publishing) pushes to your accounts after your approval. Starter and Pro ship posts to your approval queue where you copy, schedule, or publish in one click. See pricing for plan-by-plan differences.

How do you handle reviews — Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor?

HostShift reads new reviews, drafts a reply in your voice, and routes anything sensitive (complaints, refunds, PR risk) to you for sign-off before anything is posted. Review replies are available on the Enterprise tierget in touch for early-access details.

What's the price — and are there hidden fees?

Three transparent tiers: Starter $19/mo, Pro $39/mo, Enterprise custom. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — no credit card required. Billing is handled by Stripe, there's no setup fee, and you can cancel any time. Full breakdown on the pricing page.

What happens if I cancel?

Cancel any time from the Stripe billing portal — no contract, no cancellation fee. Your generated content and history stay accessible until the end of the billing period, and you can download everything as CSV or PDF before you go. Need help cancelling? Email us.
