What Habitu is
Habitu is a guest and merchant intelligence platform for mid-market restaurant brands. Its guest app is a progressive web app that opens in a browser from a link or QR code, without requiring installation. Restaurant operators can configure it in a no-code studio and publish changes without an app-store release. Features include loyalty rewards, guest segments, a live 0–100 Pulse Score, and ranked action recommendations. Campaign reporting measures return visits within a 14-day window and attributes revenue. Email and the in-app inbox are live campaign channels; push and SMS can be composed but do not dispatch, and WhatsApp is preview-only. Foodics and Square are listed as live integrations, while Toast and Loyverse are coming soon. Ordering is live end to end on Square; Foodics ordering awaits its post-pilot adapter. Plans start at $49 a month per location, with per-pickup-order charges on Starter and Growth. Habitu says it is particularly aimed at operators with 3–20 locations who lack a direct guest channel.
