After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Ive had some interest lately from my customers about an app to order coffee in advance. Quite a lot of my regulars ring and order to save time we use an electronic loyalty card wtich  does save us time and they like using it. I found a couple to look into but would appreciate anyones thoughts.

    http://www.theleader.com.au/news/local/news/business/clever-cafe-app-cuts-the-queues/2473897.aspx The cafe in that article is a 2 minute walk from my office. There is rarely any available parking nearby so using that system has worked for Mark quite well. He knows I work in I.T. So keeps reminding me about the software thinking I would love it but I walk there for a coffee and a bit of fresh air so I like the five minute wait times...

    A local place that has a few locations has an app They are a local shop Here is he link http://www.chompers.com.au/ So check it out to see if it's suitable I have used the online ordering but not the app as yet Hope that helps Edit I just downloaded the free app for a look and review It's the best and easiest app I have used ( but I haven't used many) KK

    could look at 365cups (.com.au?). no experience with them, but was given a card by them at a previous coffee expo.

    I just used the app I suggested a few posts up from Chompers Easy as to use So young and old will appreciate its simplicity It has a save your order as a favourite for those that order the same item daily - as in coffee It only offers pay by C Card ( but I did a quick check out ) One is offered a member log in so I am not certain if members or regular customers can pay with cash when picking up the order So a successful use and this first time user is very impressed I also found a link from another thread that may help you http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/smartphone-apps/best-time-for-coffee-theres-an-app-for-that-20120221-1tkj7.html KK

    Thanks for that the one iam using you can pay by c card or on pick up and  you can top up your account with cash at our cafe. I would not have taken it on if it was c card only we have customers that are still really sus about paypass so I think you have to give them the choice.

    agree that CC only would turn off some potential users. having option to top up an account balance is good - could save time and hassle of handling small change
