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.
Every card, every piece of content, and every ad is local to the cafe running it, not a generic national loyalty scheme wearing a local coat of paint.
Everything runs in the browser. Customers keep using their phone exactly as they already do.
Each cafe's card, content, and ads are local to them, not shared across a national chain.
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.
Swap the stamp icon for your own business logo, or bring a different idea entirely. Just get in touch and we'll build it in.
Set up takes minutes. There's no hardware to buy beyond a single NFC plate at the counter.
Cafes get a monthly report on scans, stamps, and redemptions: the kind of visibility a paper punch card never gave.
Setup takes a few minutes and there's nothing to install. If you run a cafe, we'd love to have you on board.
