For independent cafés

Test customer demand before you launch rewards.

CafePerks helps independent cafés run a simple 14-day QR waitlist test to see whether customers are interested in a coffee pass, member offer, or coffee + pastry deal.

Currently offering a limited number of free 14-day pilot spots for selected independent cafés.

How it works

How the 14-day waitlist test works

A simple, low-effort test that runs on your counter while your team stays focused on coffee.

    Customers scan and join the waitlist

    They tell you which perk they'd actually use. You see real interest, not guesses.

About

We help café owners listen to their regulars.

CafePerks is a small, focused project that helps independent cafés test ideas before launching them. The simplest way to find out what your customers want is a card on the counter and a short waitlist — and that's exactly what we run.
