Arbyn for Food & Beverage

Allergens, delivery, the box. Answered before it spoils.

Food support is high-stakes and time-sensitive: what's in it, when does it arrive, can I pause my box. Arbyn answers allergen and ingredient questions from your data, answers order and shipping status from your Shopify data, and guides customers to pause their box instead of cancelling.

Does the sourdough box contain any nuts or sesame? My son has a sesame allergy.
Elena · wildgrain.com
The classic sourdough box is nut-free and sesame-free, it's made in a facility that handles sesame on separate lines, so we label it "may contain." The strict sesame-free option is the Country Loaf box. Want me to swap you to that one?

Yes please, the Country Loaf box!

The reality of food & beverage support

Four numbers every food brand recognizes.

47%

of tickets are about allergens or ingredients.

1 in 3

tickets are delivery timing on perishable orders.

52%

of would-be cancels come down to having too much product.

3x

spike in perishable complaints during summer heat waves.

Support and sales, in the same inbox

Eight food conversations. Five support. Three sales.

Arbyn isn't only a deflection bot, it's a revenue agent too. Half of food's inbox is “where's my order” and “what's in it.” The other half is “what should I try next.” Arbyn handles both, on every channel, in your voice. The examples below use a fictional brand, Wildgrain Co.

Building a brunch box for guests, what goes well with the sourdough?
The sourdough pairs beautifully with our cultured butter and the fig-walnut jam, that trio is our most-ordered brunch combo. Add the cold-brew concentrate and you've got the whole table. Want the bundle?
Yes, the full bundle!

Going on vacation for 2 weeks, I don't want bread arriving while I'm gone.
Totally, you can pause your weekly box from your account so nothing ships or charges while you're away, then resume it when you're back. Here's the link, it takes about 10 seconds. Have a great trip!

My order sat in the heat all weekend and the butter arrived soft. Order #7781.
So sorry, that's a carrier delay over the weekend. Soft is fine to re-chill and safe to eat, but since it's not how it should arrive, I've shipped a fresh cold-pack replacement today at no charge.

What day will my box arrive? I need to be home to refrigerate it.
Order #8120 is scheduled for Thursday delivery, packed with cold packs rated for 48 hours, so a few hours out won't hurt it. You can follow the live tracking link for a tighter window on the day.

I want to reorder the cold-brew concentrate. Is a subscription cheaper?
It is, Tom. A monthly box saves 15% versus reordering each time. You can start it from the subscribe option on the product page. Want the subscription link, or a one-time reorder link?
the subscription link please!

Brand voice tuning

Sounds like your brand. Not like a chatbot.

Three different food brands. One identical question. Three completely different Arbyn replies, because tone, vocabulary, and rhythm come from the tone you set, your product copy, and the replies you approve. We don't pick a “food voice.” You do.

It is, our Grain-Free granola is certified gluten-free. It does include almonds. Made in small batches in our nut-handling kitchen.

Yes, the Grain-Free is gluten-free. Heads up: it contains almonds and is made in a nut-handling facility. The Original is nut-free if that's safer for you.

Gluten-free? Yep, grab the Grain-Free. Just know it's packed with almonds, so if nuts are a no-go, the Original's your safe bet. Either way, big flavor.
