Regulars send it before they arrive
Tap a saved drink, done in seconds
One tap, no fumbling for cash
Banked on the phone number
Three things that cost you the morning — fixed.
Every customer who gives up on the queue is a coffee you didn’t sell and a regular you might not see tomorrow. Papaya turns the three biggest café frictions into a faster line and more return visits.
The line out the door
At 8am the queue stalls at the till — taking the order, ringing it, taking payment. People glance at the line and walk to the shop next door.
Regulars send their usual from the QR or a link and collect it made. The counter clears.
Re-keying the same orders
The same fifteen drinks, every morning, typed out one by one. Custom milk, half-shot, extra hot — it all slows the line and invites mistakes.
A returning customer’s last order is one tap. Modifiers sit on the button, not in your head.
Regulars you never get back
Someone comes in four mornings a week and you’ve no way to thank them or pull them back on the slow days. They’re a stranger every time.
Visits bank automatically against their phone — a free coffee earned, a quiet-afternoon perk to bring them in.
The parts of Papaya a café actually leans on.
Order ahead and a QR at every seat.
A regular taps their usual on the way over and collects it made; a customer at a table scans and orders without queuing. Both land as a clean ticket at the bar so baristas just make drinks.
- Pickup-ahead with a collection time, paid up front
- One QR per table for sit-in orders
- 86 a drink and it greys out instantly across every menu
A counter built for speed at peak.
Saved usuals, milk and shot modifiers on the button, and one screen the whole bar reads. Orders from ahead, the counter and the tables all queue together in the order they came in.
- One-tap reorder of a regular’s last drink
- Milk, shots and syrups as quick modifiers
- Ahead, counter and table tickets in one queue
Turn the morning crowd into regulars.
Points and store credit bank against the phone number — no app to download, no card to lose. Drop a perk that only lands in the quiet early afternoon to smooth out the day.
- Points on the phone number, no app needed
- Store credit for a 10-visit reward
- Afternoon-only perks to fill the slow hours
Card and PromptPay in a single tap.
Tap a card on the terminal or scan PromptPay from the screen — the order closes and points bank in the same motion. No counting cash while six people wait.
- Contactless card and PromptPay side by side
- Payment and points settle in one step
- Same-day payouts so cash flow stays clear
A shorter line, more return visits.
