How it works

1. Pick a café near you
See which cafés are taking orders, how busy they are and when your drink will be ready.
2. Describe your craving
Type anything, from “peach cobbler” to “something for a rainy morning”. You get a drink made only from what that café has in stock.
3. Order and pick it up
Pay on your phone, and the barista gets the exact recipe. We tell you when it’s ready.

For café owners

Every customer can have a drink that’s theirs, without a new menu or new stock
Drinks use only the ingredients, sizes and equipment you set, priced by your own add-on prices
The barista sees clear steps and amounts on the order screen. Customers see the flavors and ingredients, but the exact recipe only goes to you with a paid order
Customers pay by card through Stripe and the money goes to your own Stripe account
No monthly fee while we start with our first cafés: we take a commission on each order, and give it back on a full refund

We're starting with a few cafés. Apply and we'll get in touch to set you up.
