Your own café app – reach regulars instead of buying reach
An app with your café’s name on your guests’ home screens: daily specials, promotions and news land right on their phones via push – instead of getting buried in social feeds where hardly anyone sees you.
Right now you barely reach your regulars at all
An Instagram post reaches only a fraction of your followers, flyers cost money and end up in the trash, and no one keeps a mailing list up to date amid the daily grind. Anyone who visited you once often hears nothing from you for months. With your own app, your café sits as an icon on the home screen – and your daily special arrives via push, with no algorithm in between.
What your Café app can do
Reach regulars via push
Daily special, new menu, Sunday special or event: a push notification lands right on your guests’ phones – without an algorithm deciding who gets to see it.
Menu & hours always current
Menu, prices, opening hours and contact in one place – changed in seconds, without printing new flyers or calling your web agency.
Your café, your brand
Your café’s name, logo and colors – the app sits on the home screen with its own icon, like a real app, completely without an app store.
Fixed price instead of commission
A fixed monthly price with no setup fee and no sales commission. Your app, your guest relationship – no platform takes a cut.

Hosting on EU servers in Germany, no data transfer to Meta, data processing agreement included. You collect no phone numbers and never have to hand over guest data.

Frequently asked questions about the Café app
Can I take orders or payments through the café app?
No. BauDir is an info and loyalty app – for your menu, opening hours, promotions and push notifications, not for online ordering or payment. But you can always link out to your delivery service, a reservation tool or an online shop.
How much does a café app cost?
With BauDir you pay a fixed monthly price – no setup fee and no commission, cancellable monthly. You can try it free for 14 days, no credit card required.
Do I need coding skills or an app store account?
No. The café app is a progressive web app: no coding, no Apple or Google account, no app store upload. Upload your logo, add your menu, done.
How do my guests install the app?
Via a QR code or link, the app is added straight to the home screen (Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android). After that it sits on the home screen with your logo and opens in full screen.
How does this help me reach my regulars?
Every guest who has installed the app can receive push notifications – for example about daily specials, promotions or events. With Premium you can also schedule messages in advance.
Is the app also suitable for restaurants, bars or hair salons?
Yes. Any local business with regulars benefits – restaurants, bars, hair salons, studios or shops use the same features: keep your info current and reach customers via push.
