Independent cafes deserve the same tools as chains — without the complexity or the price tag
My Cafe Loyalty gives your cafe QR check-ins, automated Google Reviews, and SMS engagement in one system. No app downloads. No enterprise contracts.
Our Story
We spent time talking to cafe owners — not enterprise hospitality groups, actual independent operators running one or two locations. The pattern was consistent: loyalty tools were either built for restaurants with IT budgets, required customers to download yet another app, or were so generic they needed months of configuration before they were useful.
The cafes we talked to were not struggling with the concept of loyalty — they knew regulars drove their business. What they needed was something that worked at the counter without friction: no staff training manuals, no customer accounts, no plastic cards collecting dust in pockets.
So we built it that way. A QR code on the counter. Customer scans it, enters their number, done. The complexity — SMS scheduling, Google Review requests, reward tracking, device controls — happens in the background. Your staff does not need to think about it.
We are not trying to be everything. We do loyalty for cafes, and we do it well.
What We Built and Why
Purpose-built for cafes, not adapted from software designed for retail chains
No App Downloads
Your customers scan a QR code with their phone camera and enter their number. That is it. No account to create, no password to forget, nothing to install. Check-in takes about 30 seconds. Most smartphones handle it natively.
Loyalty + Reviews + SMS
Most cafes juggle separate tools for loyalty, Google Reviews, and SMS — and pay for all three. We put them in one place at a single price. They share customer data automatically, so a regular who earns a reward can get a review request the same visit.
Australian-Built
Pricing in AUD with no conversion fees. SMS sends from Australian numbers, which customers actually recognise and open. Timezones work correctly across all states. We are not a US product with an AU checkbox bolted on.
Privacy-First
Compliant with the Australian Privacy Act. IP addresses are hashed before storage and purged after 90 days. Your customers can check their data, update preferences, or request deletion themselves — without needing to contact you.
What We Believe
Software should work at the counter
If you need a training session before you can use it, it is not ready. Setup takes five minutes. Check-in takes 30 seconds. Everything else runs in the background.
Pricing should be public and simple
All plans are listed with clear AUD pricing. No hidden fees, no lock-in contracts. SMS credits are prepaid from $0.10 per message. You always know what you are paying before the bill arrives.
Customer data belongs to customers
We collect only what the system needs to work. Customers can export their data, opt out of SMS, or request deletion — without going through you. We do not sell data to anyone.
Independent operators deserve proper tools
The loyalty features your regulars actually respond to should not require an enterprise budget. Plans start at $49/month — and there is a free tier to start with no credit card required.
