Use Lesuto Connect to let customers book private wine tastings, coffee cuppings, and cheese pairings. Virtual or in-person, with automated confirmations.
Turn recipe posts into revenue with the Commerce SDK. Link directly to the specialty ingredients you use. Email campaigns send your latest recipes to subscribers.
Holiday gift baskets, summer BBQ bundles, fall spice collections — promoted via email campaigns. Low Stock Alerts keep hot items from selling out unexpectedly.
Sell your signature sauces, spice blends, and marinades online. Analytics shows which items drive the most revenue so you can double down on winners.
Engage Your Food Community
Everything a food brand needs beyond the storefront — included and free
Stream recipes using the products you sell. Viewers click shoppable overlays to buy ingredients in real time. One demo can drive hundreds of sales.
Private wine tastings, cooking classes, catering consultations — customers book directly from your site with custom time slots and automated reminders.
