Take cafe orders online — pickup, regulars, and wholesale beans
A cafe is a morning rush, a wall of regulars, and — for a lot of you — a side business selling beans and supplies to other venues. Posboai runs all three from one branded storefront.
Order ahead
Beat the 8am queue with order-ahead pickup
The morning rush is where cafes make their money and lose their tempers. A queue out the door looks great, but every customer who walks off because the line is too long is a flat white you never sold. Order-ahead pickup lets regulars tap their usual on the tram and collect it without queueing.
Orders land in a single, time-ordered queue on the bar — not a pile of buzzing tablets. Set prep times so pickups are paced to your machine, not the app, and pause online ordering with one tap when the kitchen is in the weeds.
- Order-ahead pickup that smooths the rush instead of overwhelming the bar
- A single time-ordered queue on the pass — no tablet chaos
- Per-item prep times so pickups are paced to your machine, not the app
- One-tap pause when you’re slammed, so you never over-promise on collection times
Your regulars
Know your regulars — and own the relationship
A cafe lives on its regulars. The problem with ordering through a marketplace app is that those regulars become the app’s customers, not yours — you never see their details, and you pay a commission to reach the very people who already love your coffee.
With your own storefront, the customer list is yours. Returning customers get saved favourites and faster reordering, you can run your own loyalty and promotions, and you can reach them directly when you launch a new roast or a weekend special.
- Your customer list stays yours — no marketplace standing between you and your regulars
- Saved favourites and one-tap reordering for faster repeat purchases
- Run your own loyalty, promotions, and seasonal specials with no per-order fee
- Reach regulars directly about new roasts, events, and openings
Wholesale
Sell beans and supplies wholesale from the same shopfront
Plenty of cafes roast their own and supply nearby venues, offices, and home customers. Until now that’s meant a separate spreadsheet, a separate invoice book, and a lot of late-night admin. Posboai puts retail and wholesale in the same storefront with separate, tiered pricing.
Walk-in customers buy a 250g bag at retail; your wholesale accounts log in and see their trade pricing, order by the kilo, and reorder in a couple of taps. Same catalogue, two audiences, one back office — no double data entry.
- B2B and B2C in one storefront — retail bags and wholesale kilos side by side
- Account-based wholesale pricing tiers that only logged-in trade customers see
- Fast reordering for repeat wholesale accounts so weekly orders take seconds
- One catalogue and one back office — no separate spreadsheet for the trade side
In their words
What cafe owners tell us
“We were running the cafe on one system and the wholesale beans on a spreadsheet. Putting both on one storefront meant our trade accounts reorder themselves and we got our evenings back.”
