Coffee shops, bakeries and tea roomsAn app for your café.
Swap the paper stamp card for one that lives on your regulars' phones, let them order ahead on the way in, and tell them when the cinnamon buns come out of the oven. It's built from the menu and opening hours you already have online.
What your customers could do.
Every app is built around your business, so this is a starting point. Your free concept shows the version that fits you.
Stamps are added at the counter in seconds, nobody forgets their card, and for the first time you can see who your regulars actually are.
Customers order on the way and collect at the counter. Great for the commuter rush, when the queue is what loses you sales.
Prices, specials and allergens come from the same place as your website, so you change them once and both update.
Send a push message on a slow, rainy afternoon, or remind lapsed regulars they're one stamp off a free drink.
Opening hours, directions and tap-to-call for each site, with holiday hours you can update yourself.
Coffee subscriptions, bean deliveries or digital gift cards, if you want the app to bring in money between visits.
Which tier fits.
Standard
For businesses with regulars, members or subscribers- Everything in Starter
- Customer accounts and logins
- Loyalty cards, memberships or passes
- Push notifications for offers and reminders
- Android version or web app
Most cafés want the loyalty card and push messages, which is the Standard tier. If you only want your menu, hours and directions in an app, Starter covers it. Ordering and paying inside the app is Custom.
Every quote is fixed before work starts. You pay half to start and half when the app is live on the App Store, and upkeep is from £100 a month.
Things people ask.
Is an app worth it for a single café?
It can be, if a big share of your takings comes from regulars. A loyalty card that brings each regular back one extra time a month usually covers the upkeep many times over. The free concept is there so you can judge it before spending anything.
Will it work with my till?
Many card machines and tills can share orders and loyalty with an app. I'll check what yours supports while I make the free concept, and tell you plainly if it can't.
Will customers really download it?
Regulars will, especially when the app is the loyalty card. A sign by the till and a free drink for downloading does most of the work.
How do I change the menu?
The app reads the menu from the same source as your website, so you update it in one place. Upkeep also covers small changes, if you'd rather I did it.
