/ About

From an owner who
actually shops
at places like yours.

The founder, the principles, the way to get in touch.

The owner of Restock Notify founded this because every great independent shop he loves has the same quiet problem: the regulars who used to come in every week slowly stop showing up. Not because they found somewhere better, but because nobody reminded them to come back.

You don't need another ad budget to fix that. You need a way to keep the door open with the people who already love your product. One short message. From you. To the customer who asked you to text when the thing they love is back on the shelf.

That's what this is. No agency. No spam. Just a quiet system that turns your existing regulars into a steady, personal stream of revenue — and gives you back the hours you'd otherwise be losing to social media.

Since then, that one message has grown into the brain behind the shop. Today Restock Notify watches your inventory, your customers, and your inbox, and drafts the work for you — a reorder grouped by vendor, a win-back note to a regular going quiet, the special-order follow-up that would've slipped. You approve what goes out. Nothing sends on its own until you've taught it to, and even then only inside the caps you set. Same promise — more hours back.

How we think

The four rules.

Every product makes choices. Here are the four we keep coming back to. They show up in how the product behaves, not just in our marketing.

/01
No spam, ever.
One personal note from you beats a thousand blasts from a marketing platform. Every system default — cooldowns, frequency caps, the "did you already email this person?" check — exists to keep you from being the shop people unsubscribe from.
/02
From your inbox.
Restock Notify sends every email from your own email address, not ours. Customers see your shop name in their inbox, not "via Restock Notify." Same with SMS — the from-number is yours, the brand is yours, the relationship is yours.
/03
Your data is yours.
You own every byte of your customer database, your sales history, your message log. Export the whole thing whenever you want. We never sell it or broker it. To improve the product and our benchmarks we use only aggregated, de-identified data — never your customers' identities — and you can opt out of data sharing anytime in your settings.
/04
One operator can run this.
Built for the shop owner who's also the marketing director, the inventory manager, and the person sweeping the floor. Default flows are designed to take 15 minutes a day. If a feature requires a marketing team to use, we don't ship it.
