App Ordering Experience
For POS partners, the latest update makes you the hero. Your customers get a fully personalized experience built around your brand and their order history for a more robust loyalty experience.
Personalized Loyalty & Ordering Experience
Our app now emphasizes your coffee shop’s brand like never before. The loyalty card is prominently displayed, ensuring it’s always top of mind for your customers. This is not just a highlight – your brand is the hero of the joe experience. We’ve created a seamless virtual card load program that works on the app, physical gift cards, and is accessible with a phone number and PIN at the point of sale. You can also gamify this experience by offering credits, like loading $100 to get $110 in value. This makes it incredibly convenient for customers to manage and load funds, whether they’re in your shop or at home.
Data-driven suggestions keep your menu fresh
In addition to tracking favorites, your customers will get personalized suggestions based on what's popular on your menu. As trends change seasonally, your customers will be exposed to new items based on what's getting traction at your shop.
Faster workflows during order ahead and in-person
Favorites are saved via the Barista at the POS or customers on the app and can be accessed anywhere. This allows for one-tap orders with all preferred modifiers, saving 90% of time at checkout. Additionally, customers can easily reorder their recent orders or entire baskets of goods, complete with all modifiers. This makes the app extremely convenient for ordering, whether at home or in the shop.
Amplify benefits of the upgrade app with loyalty marketing using "Owner Mode" in the app
Owners can switch to owner mode and run campaigns from their phones, even while on a break. This powerful new extension to our rewards program and payment experience allows you to manage your marketing content effortlessly, ensuring you can focus on what you do best – serving great coffee.
