Arbyn for Food & Beverage
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.
The reality of food & beverage support
A large share of the inbox is what's in it, and for some customers the answer matters enormously.
Perishable orders turn every delivery question into an urgent one.
Most would-be cancels are a customer with product piling up, not a customer who wants to leave.
Heat waves reliably spike complaints about perishable orders in transit.
Support and sales, in the same inbox
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, over email and live chat, in your voice. The examples below use a fictional brand, Wildgrain Co.
Trained on your catalog
When you connect Arbyn to Shopify, it doesn't just see products, it ingests the structured food data your team relies on every day, down to the cross-contamination notes.
Contains and free-from data, plus facility cross-contamination notes, gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, per SKU.
Full ingredient decks and nutrition facts, so “is there added sugar” gets a precise answer, not a guess.
How long it keeps, how it ships, how long the cold packs last. Arbyn reasons about perishability before customers worry.
Box contents and frequency. Arbyn explains how to pause, skip, or swap in the customer's account, without sending them to a cancel page.
| Product | Contains | Free from | Keeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maple Pecan | Pecans, oats | Dairy, gluten | 6 wk |
| Chocolate | Almonds, oats | Dairy | 6 wk |
| Original | Oats | Nuts, dairy | 8 wk |
| Grain-Free | Almonds, seeds | Grains, gluten | 6 wk |
Arbyn note: all granola is produced in a nut-handling facility except Original, surfaced automatically on any allergy question.
Perishable logistics
A late box isn't an inconvenience in food, it's a loss. Arbyn answers transit and delivery questions from your Shopify order data the moment customers ask, so you're not left apologizing after.
When a customer asks where their perishable order is, Arbyn reads the carrier status and ETA from your Shopify order data and gives a straight answer, with cold-pack timing pulled from your product specs.
Arbyn answers contains, free-from, and cross-contamination questions straight from your allergen data, and never improvises when it isn't certain.
Travel, too much product, a flavor they're tired of, Arbyn explains how to pause, skip, or swap instead of cancelling and points customers to manage it in their account.
Brand voice tuning
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.
