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.

Weekly program & events

Live music on Thursday, quiz night, Sunday brunch: the schedule shows your weekly program clearly in the app – with a today marker so guests instantly see what’s on today.

Online table reservations (Premium)

Guests pick party size, day and a free time and send a request without an account – you confirm with one click, the e-mails to guest and venue go out automatically. Table-exact with no double bookings, no commission per guest.

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.

GDPR-compliant from Germany

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.

Live in minutes

No coding, no app store, no Apple account. Upload your logo, add your menu, put the QR code on the counter – done.

Table reservations (Premium)

Online table reservations – no commission, no guest account

With Premium your café app gets its own reservation page. Guests pick party size, day and one of the free times, enter name and e-mail and send the request – without an account, even straight from Instagram or Google Maps. Taken times are struck through, and every table is only given away once.

You see all reservations in a daily overview, on a tablet with an occupancy grid, and confirm with one click. Guest and venue get the right e-mails automatically, the confirmation with a calendar file. Phone bookings go into the same plan. If you like, your app shows its own "Book" tab.

Can I take table reservations, orders or payments through the café app?

Table reservations yes, orders and payments no.

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.
