For café owners

For the cafés that pour everything in.

You're up against chains with marketing budgets you can't match, review platforms that flatten you into a five-star average, and loyalty schemes that make customers download yet another app. My Cuppa Coffee gives independents the tools the chains have built internally. So you stop losing to algorithms and chains.

The problem

Chains have apps and data. You have a clipboard and gut feel.

You can't see who walks in or why they came back.

Cafés operate on instinct. Big chains operate on dashboards. Personalisation requires data, and data requires infrastructure most independents can't afford.

Loyalty cards live in wallets and get lost.

Paper stamps. Punch cards. The customer who would have been your best regular forgot the card at home.

Marketing on Instagram alone isn't a strategy.

Posts disappear. Algorithms shift. The good customers never see your café.

What you get

Everything an independent café needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Be found by the right people

Cuppa Lovers see you ranked by how well you fit them, not by who paid for the top spot. If your café is right for them, they'll find you.

Universal loyalty card

Stop printing paper cards. Every customer already has a card the moment they sign up. You scan a QR code and the stamp lands instantly.

Real analytics, not vanity metrics

Discovery stats, customer retention, repeat visit patterns, and personality breakdowns of your regulars. The numbers that actually tell you what to do next.

Campaigns that run themselves

Birthday rewards, win-back flows, milestone messages. Set them up once, watch them work. You're a café owner, not a marketer.

Coalition loyalty

Optionally let stamps earned at your café count toward a network-wide milestone. Customers visit more cafés, including yours, and you all win.

POS integration

Connect your existing point-of-sale and let transactions automatically award stamps. No new hardware, no double entry. Square integration first, more to come.

Limited offer

Founding member programme.

The first 50 cafés to join shape the platform with us. They get our Growth tier free for three months, hands-on onboarding, and a permanent founding member badge on their listing.

  • Growth tier free for 3 months. Full loyalty, advanced analytics, campaigns, coalition access, the lot.

  • Hands-on onboarding directly from the founder. Listing setup, photos, programme design, the whole thing.

  • A permanent founding member badge on your café profile. Customers see you supported the platform from day one.

  • Direct line to product decisions. Quarterly check-ins with the founder. Your feedback shapes the roadmap.

  • Locked-in pricing. When the trial ends, you stay at our launch rates, even as standard pricing rises.

Café owner questions

The things you'll want to know.

About 30 minutes for the listing, then we run an onboarding call (free for founding members) to walk you through analytics and campaigns. You're earning your first stamps within a week.
MCC works alongside it for now. Most cafés transition to MCC fully within three months because customers prefer one card across all their favourite spots.
Pricing scales with what you use. Free tier is genuinely free with a basic listing. Most cafés land on Starter ($79/mo) or Growth ($149/mo). See the pricing page for details.
No. A printed QR code on your counter and a free POS integration with Square if you use it. That's it.
Yes. Cancel anytime, effective at the next billing cycle. No long contracts. We'd rather earn your stay each month.
Independent cafés only. We don't serve chains. The model only works if the cafés on the platform are the ones worth recommending.

Built for independents, by an independent.

MCC is a small operation in Brisbane with a clear posture. We side with independent cafés against the algorithms and the chains. If that sounds like your kind of partner, let's talk.
