Our client, a forward-thinking coffee business, sought to enhance the coffee-ordering experience with a seamless, user-friendly coffee shop ordering app. Customers can effortlessly customize orders, schedule pickups or deliveries, and make secure payments—all while exploring reviews, recommendations, and their order history. On the other hand, shop owners gain real-time insights into sales, customer behavior, and inventory management, ensuring smooth operations and increased efficiency. With powerful features like Stripe integration, analytics, and promotional tools, this coffee shop ordering app transforms how coffee lovers order and how businesses thrive.
Project Goals
Our client’s coffee shop ordering app offers a seamless coffee ordering experience where customers can easily customize and schedule their coffee orders, browse ratings and reviews for different coffee types, and discover recommended pastries. Clients can also personalize their profiles, including avatar, name, location, and contact information. Payments are made convenient through Stripe integration, allowing for both prepaid options via card or internet banking and cash payments. Customers can choose between delivery (within 5km) or pick-up and view their order history for easy reordering.
For shop owners, the coffee shop ordering app provides real-time dashboards displaying total orders, revenue, and activity, along with notifications for new orders. Owners can manage their product inventory by adding, editing, or deleting products, as well as creating custom combos, promotions, or special offers. They also have the ability to manage order status, process refunds or cancellations, and address customer inquiries or complaints. Furthermore, shop owners can access valuable analytics, including best-selling products, peak order times, and customer behavior insights, helping them make data-driven decisions to optimize their business.
Challenges
Customer Reluctance to Install New Apps: Customers are often hesitant to install a separate app for a single coffee shop due to the inconvenience of managing multiple apps on their devices.
App Redundancy: Many customers feel that downloading an app for just one coffee shop is unnecessary when similar services are available on larger, more widely used platforms.
Storage Concerns: With limited phone storage, customers may not want to use space for apps they perceive as offering minimal added value.
Limited Engagement: Potential customers might prefer other methods of ordering, such as using existing delivery services or visiting in person, rather than using a dedicated app for one shop.
Perceived Low Value: Customers may not see enough benefit in using a single coffee shop’s app when broader platforms offer a wider range of choices and functionalities.

For Customers:
- Exclusive App Benefits: Offer app-only promotions, loyalty rewards, and personalized discounts to motivate customers to use the app for orders. Implement a referral program to encourage users to share the app with others.
