The model

Everybody gets paid in the right currency.

Most loyalty apps take a slice of the sale, or charge everyone a fee. We do neither. Hosting a café is free, joining as a drinker is free, and every reward on the platform is funded by whoever chooses to offer it before it is ever offered to a customer.

Coffee Rewards, Always Free

Finding cafés, claiming perks, earning points and building a passport are all free, for everyone, with no premium tier to upgrade to. There is nothing to pay, ever.

No card needed to start
Grow Your Café for Free

Listing your café, running loyalty cards, offer campaigns, customer messaging and analytics are all included at no cost. Whatever you sell at the counter stays yours in full.

No monthly fees, ever
Rewards, Fully Covered

A perk only appears in the app once a café, a roaster or PerkySips itself has agreed to cover it. Points are tracked on a ledger that cannot go negative, so nobody is ever handed a reward that somebody else has to absorb.

No surprise liabilities
Why the loop keeps turning

Better cafés attract more coffee lovers. More coffee lovers make hosting worth it for cafés. More cafés make the map worth opening. Each side pulls the other along.

Visits become habits
How it works

Two sides, one habit.

Coffee lovers get a reason to try somewhere new. Cafés get a reason for them to come back.

For coffee lovers
Drink better, pay less.

2

Every visit and review earns points you can spend on free drinks, and builds a Coffee Passport worth keeping.

Download the app
For cafés
Fill your quiet hours.
1
Host your café

Verify ownership and add your story, hours, menu and photos. Free to list, and live the same day.

2
Design your perk

% off a first visit, buy-X-get-one, a free add-on, or a happy hour aimed at your slowest window. You set every term.

3
Scan & watch them return

Redeem on the tablet you already own. Every visit builds their streak, and your list of regulars.

Host your café
Everything included

A full loyalty stack, without the loyalty-stack price.

One place to replace the punch cards, the standalone loyalty app and the paid local ads. It happens to be the place your customers already open every morning.

Map & search listing

Appear where locals are already looking for their next cup, with photos, hours, menu and your story.

Offer builder

Launch a perk in minutes from proven templates: % off a first visit, free add-on, or bundle. You set every term.

Digital loyalty cards

Buy-5-get-1 without the paper. Stamps live in the customer's phone, so nothing gets lost in a wallet.

Scan & redeem

Staff scan the customer's code on your tablet or phone. One tap to confirm. No new hardware and no POS integration.

Slow-hour targeting

Schedule a happy hour for your quiet window and push it only to people nearby, right when you need them.

Customer messaging

Message past visitors, lapsed regulars, or your top spenders when a new roast lands. Attach an offer in a tap.

Insights dashboard

Views, visits, redemptions, new against repeat, and customer mix, so you know which perk is actually paying for itself.

Events & cuppings

List tastings, latte-art classes and launches. Take RSVPs, cap seats, and check guests in at the door.

Reviews & photos

Verified reviews from people who actually checked in. The kind that bring the next customer through the door.

City campaigns

Get featured in seasonal challenges that send members on a crawl across town, with your café on the route.

Bean marketplace

Sell your retail bags to members beyond your counter, shipped nationwide with no storefront to build.

Funded-rewards guarantee

Every perk is paid for by whoever offers it, whether that is a café, a sponsor or us. You are never billed for someone else's reward.

Why they keep opening it

The app coffee lovers actually use.

Your perks land in front of people already hunting for their next great cup, not a generic discount audience.

A map of every good café
Not just the ones paying the most. A real directory locals trust.
Points on every visit

Streaks & a Coffee Passport
Visit history, badges and streak milestones turn a habit into a game.
A community of coffee lovers
Reviews, bean recommendations and brew talk from real regulars keep people opening the app between visits.

FAQ

Questions, both sides of the counter.

The things people actually ask us before they sign up. If yours is not here, write to us and a person will answer.

For coffee lovers
Does it cost anything to use?

Nothing, and it stays that way. Browsing cafés, claiming perks, earning points and collecting badges are completely free. There is no premium tier and nothing to upgrade to.

How do I redeem a perk in the shop?

Open your code and let the barista scan it. The discount comes off at the till and the visit lands in your passport straight away. Your code is stored on your phone, so it still works when the café has poor signal.

How do I actually earn points?

Check in when you visit, leave a review with a photo, hit a streak milestone, or refer a friend who joins. Points sit in your balance until you spend them in the rewards store on free drinks, pastries or bags of beans.

Do points or streaks expire?

Points stay in your balance. Streaks are the only thing on a clock, and you get a reminder before one lapses. Miss a day and you simply start the count again, you never lose points you already earned.

Do you track my location?

Only while the app is open, and only to show cafés near you or confirm a check in. Turn it down and you can still browse any city by name. Your visit history is yours and you can clear it whenever you like.

What if a café refuses my perk?

Report it from the perk screen and we follow up with the café directly. If the offer was live and the visit was valid we credit you the points anyway, so a bad counter experience never costs you.

Is there anything to buy in the app?

You can order beans from roasters and cafés on the platform and set up a recurring subscription. That is optional. Plenty of people only ever use the map and the perks.

Which cities are you in?

We launch city by city so the map is genuinely full when you open it, rather than three cafés spread over forty miles. If your city is not live yet you can register interest and we will tell you when it is.

For cafés
Do you take a cut of my sales?

Never. Whatever a customer spends at your counter is yours in full. We are not a delivery marketplace and we do not sit between you and the payment.

Who pays for the perks?

You do, and only for the ones you create. You set the discount, the terms and the monthly cap, so the cost stays inside a margin you decided on. Anything the platform runs as a promotion is funded by us, never billed back to you.

What does it actually cost?

Nothing. Hosting your café, loyalty stamps, offer campaigns, customer messaging and analytics are all included at no cost. There are no paid plans to move to.

Do I need new hardware?

No. Staff redeem on any tablet or phone you already have behind the counter. There is nothing to wire into your POS and nothing to install at the till.

How long does setup take?

About fifteen minutes. Verify that you own the café, add your hours, photos and story, then pick a perk template. If you would rather not do it alone, we will build the first offer with you on a call.

How much work is it for my baristas?

One scan per customer, roughly two seconds. There is no code to type, no separate loyalty card to hand out and no monthly reconciliation. Staff can be shown how in a single shift.

Will discounts just attract bargain hunters?

The audience here is people who seek out specialty coffee, not people who chase coupons. Loyalty cards and streaks exist precisely to convert that first discounted visit into a full price habit, and the analytics show you whether it is working.

What if my café is already on the map?

Good news, customers can already find you. Taking ownership is free and takes a couple of minutes, and it unlocks photos, offers, messaging and the numbers behind your visits.

What data do I get about my customers?

Visit counts, repeat rate, redemption numbers, busiest hours and how each offer performed. You see patterns and segments, not individual private profiles.

Can I pause or cancel?

At any time, from your café dashboard, without a phone call. Pause a campaign for a quiet month and your listing and loyalty cards stay live.

Still have a question?

Write to us at [email protected] and you will hear back from a real person, usually the same working day.
