News + Brews turns a phone tap into a loyalty stamp, a daily read, and a reason to come back, all without a single app to download.
At its simplest, News + Brews is a digital loyalty card. A customer taps their phone against an NFC plate on the counter, or scans a QR code as backup, and their stamp is added instantly. A quick one-time sign-up with an email address is all it takes to get started, and after that, every visit is just a tap.
But the card is only the entry point. Every visit also connects customers to a free news source and quick daily games, small reasons to come back beyond the coffee itself.
A customer taps their phone against the NFC plate, or scans the QR code as backup. Their loyalty card opens instantly in the browser. No app to install.
Each visit adds a stamp, builds a daily streak, and surfaces a quick game or a story from a free news source. Small reasons to come back beyond the coffee itself.
Once a card fills up, the reward is claimed right at the counter with a code only the cafe knows. Simple for the customer, simple for the barista.
Your colours, your logo, your reward, your links. The card carries your brand rather than ours, and every part of it is set up to bring customers back through your door.
Add your Google review link and the card puts it in front of the customers most likely to leave a good one: the ones already coming back. Reviews are what bring new customers through the door.
Your colours, your logo on the card, your choice of stamp icon, your reward and how many stamps earn it. Choose which links your customers see. If you want something we don't offer yet, ask and we'll build it in.
Everything runs in the browser. Customers keep using their phone exactly as they already do, and setup is a single NFC plate on your counter.
A free news source and quick daily games keep customers engaged between coffees, not just during them.
Optional streak rewards and a monthly lucky-scan prize give cafes new ways to keep loyal regulars coming back.
A monthly report showing your busiest and quietest days, when customers come in, who's close to a reward, and who hasn't been back: the kind of visibility a paper punch card never gave.
Setup takes a few minutes and the card is yours: your brand, your reward, your Google reviews. If you run a cafe, we'd love to have you on board.
