The delivery apps take a quarter of the order and keep the customer's phone number. Your own app is paid for once and keeps both, which matters most for the regulars who come in four mornings a week. It is designed and built new for your shop by a team that has built ordering apps many times. Most first releases go live in about 30 days.
A coffee shop app is judged on one thing, which is whether somebody uses it again tomorrow. This is the path your customers take, and the part of the app that carries each step.
The usual is two taps from opening the app, with the modifiers already set.
Order ahead
Card, wallet or stored balance, so nothing happens at the counter except collection.
In-app payment
The ticket prints or lands on the screen with a collection time your staff set.
Counter and till
They walk past nine people, pick it up and leave, which is the entire point.
Collection
The card fills automatically, with no paper and nothing to lose in a wallet.
Loyalty
A secret drop, a quiet-hour offer or a nudge after two weeks away, sent from your own admin.
Offers and drops
Customers, your baristas and you each see the part built for their job, all running on one system you own.
Order the usual, skip the queue and collect stamps without a card.
See what is coming, in the order it is needed, without another screen to learn.
Run the menu, the prices and the offers, and see what any of it did.
This one is not a marketplace, so it earns by keeping money rather than taking it. Every rate is yours to set in the admin panel.
The delivery apps take a quarter to a third of each order. Your own app takes nothing.
Modifiers and a suggested pastry lift the basket without anybody having to ask.
A stamp card and a saved usual are the cheapest reason to come back tomorrow.
A push at two in the afternoon turns dead time into orders you would not have had.
A bag every four weeks or a cup a day, which is income booked before the month starts.
The bag, the tumbler and the gift card, sold to people who already like you.
It was really great, they are there for me whenever I had a problem or to fix something. Thank you so much Ameer
GomezApr 2023You have been supporting me very quickly in every matter, especially in the last 2 months, and this makes me very happy.
Deniz SeçerJan 2024I so much love your services and I will continue to patronize your company.
Kolawole Alaba JohnsonApr 2025Built into your app and shaped around your counter. Each one is designed and built new for you, and nothing here is switched on from a shelf.
Size, milk, shots, syrups and temperature, priced as they go, because nobody orders just a coffee.
Your card
Stamps, points or spend, earned automatically and impossible to leave in another jacket.
Pre-orders spread across collection slots, with a cap so the bar is never handed forty at once.
Roast, origin, grind and bag size, sold as a one-off or on a delivery somebody can pause or skip.
This week
Orders, average spend and how many came back, per shop and per hour of the day.
A push at two in the afternoon, or a nudge to somebody who has not been in for a month.
An ordering app looks simple enough from the outside. What makes one work is that it holds up between eight and nine in the morning. That is when a coffee shop makes most of its money, and when it has the least patience for software.
This is the machinery we build into yours, shaped around your menu and the way your bar actually works. Each piece is designed and built new for you, by a team that has built ordering apps many times.

The same pattern of order ahead, collect and come back works anywhere a queue forms at the same time every morning. Each version is designed around its own counter: its menu, its rush, its idea of a regular.

At quarter past eight nothing is allowed to be interesting. These are built in from the first release, rather than added after a bad Monday.
Most first releases go live in about 30 days. Larger apps take longer, and your costed plan fixes the scope and the exact date.
Where most of the work happens
Not here? The costed plan answers the rest, for your app.
It depends on how many shops, whether it talks to your till, and which extras you take, such as delivery or subscriptions. A single site ordering and loyalty app is a smaller build than a franchise group with corporate accounts. Your fixed price arrives in a free costed plan before any work starts, and it only moves if you change the scope.
Usually, and it is the first thing we check. Toast, Square, Clover and Lightspeed all have a way in, and orders drop into the workflow your staff already know. Where a till is closed or old, a printer at the bar and a display screen do the same job without retraining anybody. We confirm which yours is before quoting rather than after.
Yes, by card, by wallet, or from a balance the customer topped up in advance. Paying ahead is most of the value, because it means nothing happens at the counter except handing the cup over. Prepaid balances also sit with you rather than with a card network until they are spent.
Most first releases go live in about 30 days, covering ordering, payment, collection and loyalty. Till integration and multiple sites can add to that depending on what your systems allow. Your costed plan fixes the scope and the exact date in writing.
Use them as well, for the reach they bring. The difference between them is what each one costs you and who ends up owning the customer. A delivery app takes a quarter to a third of the order and keeps the phone number, the email and the history. Your own app is paid for once and keeps all of it, which is why it pays back on regulars rather than on strangers.
That is the thing it is built for. Pre-orders are spread across collection slots with a cap per slot, so the bar receives a workable line instead of forty tickets in four minutes. Your staff can close a slot or mark an item sold out from the machine. We rehearse a full morning before you open.
Yes. Each site gets its own menu, prices and opening hours. A group menu sits behind them, so a new pastry is added once rather than eleven times. Customers see the shop they picked, or the nearest one. Reporting works per site and across the group.
We migrate them rather than starting everybody at zero, which is the fastest way to annoy a regular. Existing stamps can be honoured on sign-up, and paper cards can be run alongside for a period. How that transition works gets agreed before launch, because it is a customer relations decision more than a technical one.
Almost always, and usually first. The app is for people who already come to you, and it earns on regulars. The website is where a stranger finds a new site before it opens, and where the beans are sold. It is also where a landlord, a broker or a wholesale buyer gets in touch with you. Most brands launch the site, then the app, and we scope them as two releases rather than one.
Yes, and for a roasting brand it becomes a second business on the same customer list. Bags are sold by roast, origin, grind and size, one-off or on a subscription somebody can pause, skip or swap themselves. Gift cards, tumblers and merchandise run through the same checkout. It reaches people who will never drive to you, which the shop by itself cannot do.
That is designed in rather than added later. Each site gets its own menu, prices, hours and opening status, with a group menu behind them. Each also gets a page written to be found locally, because people search for a new drive-thru before it opens. Adding the eleventh location costs what the second one did.
No. Every app we build is designed and built new for its client. We have built ordering apps many times, and that experience is what lets us fix the scope, the price and the launch date before we start.
An iOS app, an Android app and a website for customers, plus a web admin panel and a counter view for your staff. Some clients start with fewer and add the rest later.
You own all of it, and we mean the whole list rather than the code alone. The domain, the hosting, the source code and the repository. The design files, the analytics and the payment processor. The email account, the databases holding your products and your customers, the photographs and the font licences. Every one is registered in your company's name rather than a developer's, which is the part that goes wrong elsewhere. We hold administrator access and nothing more.
Tell us about the app you want to build. We send back a costed plan with a fixed price and a launch date, free and yours to keep.
