Pulling the latest…
A bare-bones QR-ordering tool gives a guest a menu and a ready-text. Alongside Events does that, then everything after, the keepsake the host shares, the operator workflows for two-barista carts, the analytics that turn event gigs (weddings, corporate offsites, private celebrations) into a real business. Below, side by side.
The market has a few QR-ordering apps; this is the gap between any of them and us.
Custom theme per event
Palette presets, a custom palette, a palette proposed from a photo of the invitation, monogram upload, welcome note.
AI signature drinks tailored to the event
Named after the couple, your company, or the guest of honor, built only from what's on your cart. A kids menu switch adds steamed milk, hot chocolate and a babyccino.
A magazine-style recap
A cover the host chooses, their photograph, their initials in a letterpress plate, or the masthead, then the dedication, photos, voices, and the event's small numbers. Intimate gatherings get a single warm page instead of a stretched template. Saved as PDF or kept forever at the link.
The share pack + host curation
The host stars the guest notes they love and hides anything that shouldn't be there, then shares a pack of cards made from their night, a friend's note with their name on it, the cups-poured count, their photos, in story, post, and square sizes. Guests who signed a note find their own card on their order tracker.
A four-digit code on the recap
The couple can put a code on their recap so only the people they give it to can read it. The share cards stay open, so a card still lands on Instagram.
A note from the cart
You write a few lines for the couple on their recap, signed by a person, in place of the story spread when you would rather say something yourself.
Photo wall guests can post to
Operator-moderated with a swipe; bulk download for the host; live mirror that can be projected at the reception.
Optional PIN gate on the host page
Soft privacy for couples / companies / hosts who want to preview without guests stumbling in.
QR ordering with SMS when ready
The ready text names the pickup spot. The wait shown above the first drink is read from tonight's pace, not a fixed number.
Guests pay as they order, through your Square
Put prices on a menu and the charge happens before the order reaches the bar, one line at the counter, not a paying line and a collecting line. It lands in your own Square account with the drinks itemised. Unpriced menus are untouched, which is every wedding.
Walk-up POS for cart-side orders
Same queue as QR, nothing falls through. No text goes out until the guest says yes. The register keeps selling through a pause.
The line holds itself
Set a number of cups. When the queue reaches it, phone orders pause on their own and open again once the bar is back down to half. Walk-ups keep coming, the priority code walks through, and the barista can hold the line by hand from the queue.
Last call
A ten-minute clock from the queue: guests on their phones see it, the register stays open, and the display hub says so.
Batch by drink
Matching drinks in a row group on the queue: make all four, print all four, mark all four ready, and every guest still gets their own text.
Per-drink ready station
Multi-drink orders mark each cup ready independently, assembly-line workflow without losing track. A wrong cup gets written down from any card: make it again, reprint, or just note it.
Adaptive flow + three drink-cap modes
Fixed / adaptive / soft caps protect the cart at peak. Priority code lets the wedding party / VIPs bypass.
Solo / Pair barista mode
One screen for solo work, two screens split for pair work. Toggle between them mid-shift.
Live sync across iPads
Two iPads always show the same queue. No 'mark ready' double-fires.
Quality intelligence mid-event
Reviews are tagged in real time; recurring complaints (burnt shot, slow) surface on the barista screen so the operator can adjust.
AI barista that reads the live cart
Guests chat with an AI barista that knows the current wait, what's popular tonight, and the real options on every drink. It only ever suggests real menu drinks.
Espresso machine link
Link a compatible La Marzocco Home machine and the barista screen watches shot times and says when the grind is drifting. The keepsake can show real shots pulled and the busiest fifteen minutes. Optional, opt-in, and unofficial, since La Marzocco publishes no API.
Vibe meter + trending drinks ticker
One-glance read on cart load + a live 'right now' rail so guests know what's working tonight.
Cup-label tracking for non-printer setups
The barista marks each cup by hand, '16E' in Sharpie. No paper, no stickers.
A day-of card for a hired barista
One printed sheet in inches: the guest QR, how to pause or hold the line, whether texts go out, and your number. The staff link beside it shows them the live queue, no account.
Walk through as a guest
From Controls, run the whole guest flow on your own event to the last screen without placing an order, printing a sticker or sending a text.
Customizable menu
Reusable QR + per-event scheduling
Named event templates
Save an event as a template, the menu, the look, the controls, and start the next booking from it.
Per-event signage editor
Print-ready Flyer / Postcard / Cards with the couple's QR, your headline, your operator brand. Table tents print double-sided by default, one per table, each code tagging its orders with the table number.
Tip-jar QR placard
Optional, a separate printable placard pointing to your Venmo, Cash App, or tip link.
Concierge mode (table numbers)
Swap 'Customer name' for 'Table number' for seated dinners + table-service events.
Read-only vendor staff link
A read-only live queue for contract baristas + venue runners, one link, no account.
Leads that move
A follow-up date on every lead, overdue first. Quote it fills a quote from the lead and your pricing profile. A first reply drafted in the house voice. Studio tier.
Instagram messages become leads
Connect an Instagram account and a DM asking about the cart lands on the leads board with the conversation attached. Offered to every operator; in beta until it opens to every Instagram account.
Quotes, contracts and contract templates
A quote the client signs on their phone, a contract started from your own template, and a row that says paid, signed, or paid and not signed. Studio tier.
The client portal
One private link per client: the quote, the contract, the invoice, the couple's own page, and the recap once it's published. Studio tier.
Client roster + cross-event analytics
Repeat-booking history, revenue YTD, ops row (median prep time, peak in queue, busiest day). Studio tier.
Filterable analytics + custom report builder
Filter every number by date range, event type, or client; save filtered views for one-click recall; build your own grouped reports (by type, client, month, event, or drink) and export any of it to CSV. Studio tier.
Calendar + venue clusters
Month grid + venue grouping for repeat-booking visibility.
Operator sourcing credits
Your roastery, milk, syrups, pastries surface as a 'Sourced from' credits roll on every event's recap.
Native iOS app
The barista side native to iPad / iPhone: the queue, the register, the ready station, inventory.
Spam + abuse protection on every public surface
Demo events that never charge or text
Test as much as you want; nothing reaches a real guest or costs you a cent.
Per-event SMS lifetime caps
A glitch or a slip can't run up your phone bill.
One ready text per drink, never two
Two iPads marking the same drink ready at the same moment will never double-text the guest.
Picks up where it left off after a dropped connection
iPad sleeps, connection drops, the queue catches right back up when you wake it.
