What happens next
What happens after the 14-day test?
After the QR waitlist runs, you get a simple read on what your customers actually want before deciding whether to launch anything.
- 01
Review customer interest
See how many customers joined the waitlist and which offers they selected.
- 02
Identify the strongest offer
Compare interest in a coffee pass, member-only offers, coffee + pastry deals, or birthday perks.
- 03
Decide if it is worth launching
If the signal is strong, you can choose what to test next. If not, you still walk away with useful customer data.
- 04
Preview a possible paid pilot
For serious interest, CafePerks can show what a simple QR redemption flow, staff PIN screen, and owner dashboard could look like.
This is a demo of a possible future operator flow. Nothing is live, no real payment is processed, and no POS setup is required. The current offer remains the free 14-day waitlist test.

We help café owners listen to their regulars.
CafePerks is a small, focused project that helps independent cafés test ideas before launching them. The simplest way to find out what your customers want is a card on the counter and a short waitlist — and that's exactly what we run.
