Brewards

Inspiration

I love coffee. I really do and I will do anything to operate within that space. I currently have a play in the market with a client. Its called Brewards, a digital coffee stamp card but this was never the end goal since the menu is friction when it came to offering a full coffee rewards POS system.

What it does

Brewards is a complete platform designed to help businesses like cafes and restaurants manage their operations easily. It allows multiple businesses to run independently, each with its own secure space.

Here's a simpler look at its main features:

Separate Businesses: Many businesses can use Brewards at once, and their information stays private and secure. Each business gets its own unique web address. Different Users: The platform has different types of users: Business Owners: They manage everything for their business. Customers: They browse menus and place orders. Delivery Drivers: They handle deliveries. Easy Menus: Businesses can quickly create and update their digital menus, adding items, prices, descriptions, and photos. They can also organize menu sections and items easily. Order Handling: Businesses receive and track customer orders in real-time. Customers can place orders and follow their progress. Flexible Payments: Brewards supports various ways for customers to pay, including cash, card payments (via SnapScan and Yoco), and even a built-in wallet system. Businesses can choose which payment methods to offer. Customer Rewards: There's a loyalty program where customers earn credit in a digital wallet for their purchases, which they can then use for future orders. Delivery Tools: Businesses can manage their own delivery drivers, track their availability, and set up delivery fees based on distance. Drivers get a special app to manage their assigned deliveries. Smart Assistant: An AI voice assistant helps business owners by providing information about their menu, payments, and other business data through simple voice commands.

How we built it

By building the utility first we were able to carve out the user journey as the core and build out from there

Challenges we ran into

So many but nothing Bolt.new related. It was a very steep learning curve to work under this deadline while working full time. Lots of fun and late nights and weekends away from the family but so worth it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning so much in such a short space of time.

What we learned

What not to do. The aha moment for me was "discuss"

What's next for Brewards

We are launching with our first partner store in Johannesburg South Africa on the new platform.
