The Problem

Star ratings don't tell you whether a café is a good place to work or meet right now. And café owners have no simple way to reach the people nearby who are looking for exactly what they offer.

The Solution

Three connected products on one backend: a consumer mobile app for finding places to work or meet, a Café OS dashboard for operators to run deals and check-ins, and a live map of what's happening right now. The same pattern powers most consumer apps: customer app, business dashboard and real-time location data.
