Cafe loyalty API for apps

Create white-label loyalty integrations for regional chains' apps. Help smaller cafes compete with Starbucks-style tech.

Why now

Local cafe chains need affordable digital solutions but lack resources to build custom apps.

Who for
Regional cafe chains
Business model
Transaction fees
Effort
A few months

Regional chains struggle to implement mobile ordering and rewards without expensive custom development. A modular API could handle points, payments, and promotions with simple app/web integrations.

First version would support basic punch cards and QR code payments. Charge monthly based on transaction volume.

Must balance simplicity with enough customization for brand differentiation.
