Coffee subscription software for roasters
Subscriptions are the steadiest revenue a small roaster has. The setup that works bills on roast day, lets subscribers pick grind and frequency, and turns upcoming orders into a roast list.
Built for coffee roasters. Set up for you, on the tools you already use.
The short answer
Bill subscriptions the day before you roast, offer grind and frequency choices, let subscribers skip or swap without emailing you, and build the roast list from upcoming orders so you roast what is sold.
How it works
-
Billing on roast day
Orders are charged just before roast day, so every bag ships fresh.
-
Grind and frequency
Whole bean or ground, weekly to monthly, chosen by the subscriber.
-
Skips and swaps
Subscribers manage their own plan, so you are not answering emails.
-
A roast list from orders
Upcoming subscriptions and one-off orders add up into pounds per coffee.
-
Emails that keep them
Welcome, shipping and win-back emails tied to subscription events.
