Coffee chain loyalty API

Create an API that unifies loyalty programs across coffee chains.

Why now

Major chains have apps but lack interoperability, frustrating frequent customers.

Who for
Frequent coffee drinkers
Business model
API fees
Effort
A few months

Coffee lovers juggle multiple loyalty apps, missing rewards opportunities. A unified API could aggregate points and offers.

Build an API that connects to major coffee chains' backends with user permission. Charge chains for integration or users for premium features.

Start with read-only access to balances, then add redemption. The biggest risk is chains blocking access to protect their programs.
