Paradox Coffee: Embracing Community, Loyalty, and Growth with joe Point of Sale

Overview: A Community Hub in Junction City, Kansas

Located in the heart of Junction City, Kansas, Paradox Coffee & Bistro has become a cornerstone for the diverse local population, which includes military families, stay-at-home parents, and elderly residents. Founded 3.5 years ago by Tiffany Naccarato and her husband—both medical professionals—along with two other business partners, Paradox Coffee has evolved into a thriving community space where people gather, connect, and support one another.

The Challenge: Balancing Community Values with Modern Technology

From the beginning, the founders of Paradox Coffee envisioned creating a place that reflected and supported the local community. They prioritized partnerships with local vendors and artisans, sourcing farm-to-table ingredients, locally roasted coffee, and hand-crafted decor. A small community pantry showcases local products such as honey, jam, and bread.

However, the leadership team recognized that maintaining strong customer engagement required more than just in-person interaction. In today’s digital age, modern conveniences such as digital ordering, online marketing, and loyalty programs are essential for long-term success.

"We knew that if there's not a way for the community to connect with us digitally, even though we're not always tech-savvy in the Midwest, people like to use their technology," explained Tiffany.

To achieve their goals, the team needed a solution that could integrate their community-focused mission with digital capabilities while remaining easy to use for both customers and staff.

The Solution: Seamless Integration with joe OS

After an extensive search, Paradox Coffee implemented joe OS , a platform designed specifically for coffee shops, offering integrated loyalty and rewards features. The platform’s alignment with their values of supporting local businesses and fostering community was a key factor in the decision.

Tiffany praised the platform, saying, "It was very, very simple to learn, to train my baristas, and is so easy to use on the backend. It's been so seamless."

The platform streamlined operations, allowing baristas to focus on crafting high-quality drinks and enhancing the customer experience. With joe’s automated marketing tools, Paradox Coffee could create targeted campaigns and offers to introduce new products and engage their customers effortlessly. These tools worked in the background, increasing sales and improving customer loyalty without additional administrative burden.

Another critical feature was joe’s pricing structure. Tiffany noted, "With no monthly subscriptions, I feel like joe is just as invested in the success of my business as I am. We're not just another account. Joe really cares about us as a company and as a brand and wants us to be as successful as we can."
