Local commerce
Your shop goes dark at close. The shopper at the door does not. Give them an agent that answers, reserves, and books while you sleep.
An early direction built on Coffee's shipping engines: the branded agent, booking, and guest checkout are real today — cross-shop memory and neighborhood demand-routing are what we're building next.
Replaces Yelp · Groupon · single-shop booking tools · a dark website after hours
Why Coffee wins here.
-
Open after close
The 9pm shopper asks, orders, and books while you're shut. You wake up to orders, not missed messages.
-
No account at the door
The shopper texts or talks, confirms, and pays as a guest. No sign-up wall between them and the sale.
-
A miss could become a sale
When you're sold out, the goal is to route the sale — with the shopper's consent — to a neighbor who can fill it. That layer is what we're building next.
Coffee vs Yelp / Groupon / single-shop tools.
| Coffee | The usual stack | |
|---|---|---|
| After-hours shopper | Agent answers and holds the spot | Built to list, not to reply |
| Taking the order | Books, reserves, redeems live | Hands off to your phone |
| Remembering the shopper | One thread with your shop | Built for discovery, not memory |
| When you're sold out | Routing to a neighbor (coming) | The sale walks |
A shopper messages at 9pm, after you've locked up. Your branded agent answers from your real catalog, reserves the offer, and the order is waiting when you open.
