Your regulars keep coming back.
You should know exactly who they are.
meed gives coffee shops a digital loyalty program that runs from Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. No app for your customer to download, no hardware to buy, no POS integration required.
Setup in under 5 minutes | Free plan includes all core features | Pro plan from US$59/month
What does a coffee shop loyalty program need to do?
It needs to get customers enrolled without friction, remind them you exist when they walk nearby, and tell you who your real regulars are. Paper punch cards do none of that. Most digital loyalty apps ask your customer to download something first, which most won't.
meed runs inside Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. Your customer scans a QR code once, and the card is on their phone. Done.
-
QR code enrollment at the counter or on a receipt
-
Digital stamp card, fully branded with your logo and colors
-
Contactless reward redemption straight from the customer's phone
-
Nearby notifications trigger when a member is physically close to your shop (available on both Free and Pro plans)
How does meed handle stamps without a tablet at the counter?
Two options, both work without touching your till system. NFC check-in lets customers tap their phone to earn a stamp instantly. AI-powered receipt scanning reads the receipt and rewards them automatically. No integration, no staff training beyond showing someone where to tap.
Method | How it Works | What you Need |
|---|---|---|
QR Code | Customer scans a printed QR code | printer or screen |
AI Receipt Scanning | Customer scans their receipt | Nothing, no POS link needed |
NFC Checkin/Tap and Stamp | Customer taps phone to earn | NFC-enabled device or tag |
What's the difference between the Free plan and Pro for a coffee shop?
The Free plan supports up to 50 members and includes digital stamp cards, QR enrollment, wallet integration, and nearby notifications. That covers the basics for a new or small cafe testing the water. When you want to send a custom message to members who haven't visited in three weeks, that requires meed Pro. Custom notifications and advanced analytics, including member, location, and campaign performance data, are Pro-only features.

Multi-location support | Yes (with member cap) | Yes (2 included, +US$39 each) |
Member limit | 50 | Unlimited |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best loyalty platform for independent coffee shops?
meed is built specifically for independent and small businesses, including coffee shops. It replaces paper punch cards with a digital stamp card stored in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, requires no app download from customers, and can be set up in under 5 minutes. The free plan covers up to 50 members with all core loyalty features included.
Do my coffee shop customers need to download an app to join the loyalty program?
No. meed runs inside Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, which are already on most smartphones. Customers enroll by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC point. There is nothing new to download and no account to create before they can earn their first stamp.
How do customers earn stamps at a coffee shop using meed?
Three ways: NFC tap-in, AI-powered receipt scanning, or QR code. None of these require integration with your point-of-sale system. A customer can earn a stamp by tapping their phone, scanning their printed receipt, or scanning a QR code you display at the counter.
Can I send messages to my coffee shop loyalty members when they haven't visited in a while?
Yes, but this requires meed Pro. Custom notifications, the feature that lets you send business-initiated push messages to enrolled members, is a Pro-only capability. The Free plan includes nearby notifications that trigger automatically when a member is near your location, but targeted re-engagement messages need the Pro plan at US$59/month.
How much does meed cost for a single-location coffee shop?
The Free plan costs nothing and supports up to 50 members with core features including digital cards, QR enrollment, wallet integration, and nearby notifications. meed Pro is US$59 per month or US$590 per year, covers unlimited members, and includes the first two locations, custom notifications, and advanced analytics
What analytics does meed give a coffee shop owner?
meed Pro provides advanced analytics covering member activity, location performance, and campaign results. The Free plan does not include advanced analytics. For a coffee shop owner who wants to know which customers are returning, how often, and which rewards are driving visits, Pro is the tier that answers those questions.
Does meed work for a coffee shop that runs pop-up stalls or market events?
Yes. meed supports events-based loyalty setups including food festivals, pop-up stalls, and outdoor markets. Enrollment via QR code or link means no hardware is needed at the event. A customer can join your loyalty program from a printed flyer or a screen at your stall
Is meed used by coffee shops outside the United States?
meed serves businesses internationally. The platform has a documented presence in Asia, including Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and was featured at DigiTech ASEAN 2025 in Bangkok. Kongsi Kopi, a home-based micro coffee business, used meed to run a professional loyalty program from day one. Multi-language support is available on both plans.
