You opened a coffee shop to make coffee and know people — not to babysit spreadsheets at midnight. We build software that watches the three places a shop quietly loses money, and hands you the move while it still matters.
Coffee is a relationship business running on a manufacturing margin. The couple hundred people who come in every week carry the whole room — and whether they keep coming has more to do with being known than with anything on the menu. You already understand this. It's why you learned their orders.
The problem is that nothing in your POS tells you when it starts to slip. A regular doesn't announce they're leaving. They just come in a little less, and then a lot less, and the daily numbers look fine the whole time — because new foot traffic papers over the loss until the month it doesn't.
Meanwhile the oat milk runs out on a Saturday, the pastry case gets over-ordered out of caution, and the schedule gets built on hope because the real labor number doesn't show up until the P&L — four weeks after anything could've been done about it.
None of this is a skill problem. It's an attention problem — and attention is the one thing an owner-operator never has spare.
A daily regular is a four-figure yearly relationship. We learn each customer's own rhythm from your existing POS data and tell you the day it breaks — with a personal note already drafted, waiting on your say-so. You stay the owner who noticed. How Regulars works →
Quick counts turn into usage rates and a reorder sheet that writes itself before the shelf is empty — so the Saturday emergency run and the write-off from cautious over-ordering both get rarer. How Inventory works →
Your shifts laid over your shop's actual sales curve, with labor as a live percentage while you're still building the schedule — not a verdict a month later. How Labor works →
Real software, running today — not a mockup. Tour it on the product page.
The software prepares; you decide. Every outreach is a draft you approve. Every order is a sheet you place. Nothing talks to your customers or your vendors on its own — ever.
It says "not sure" out loud. When the AI can't match an invoice line or doubts a judgment, you get asked. No silent guesses buried in your books.
Your data stays yours. One plain database you can copy, export, and walk away with. We're a small operation that distrusts lock-in as much as you do.
We're looking for two or three independent shops to shape this with — free, hands-on, built around how your counter actually runs. If some of the above sounded like your Tuesday, we should talk.
