Cinnamon rolls at 7. Gone by 8.

Your regulars are the whole business. A text about what came out of the oven, or the pie preorder deadline before Thanksgiving, reaches every one of them and makes the morning.

§ 01 · The problem

The 2pm empty café.

Morning rush, then nothing. And the pastries won't keep.

Coffee shops live on the morning and die in the afternoon. The pastries you baked at 5am are still in the case at 2pm, and the regulars who'd swing by for a half-price scone with their second coffee have no idea.

A text at 1:30, "afternoon pick-me-up: any pastry half off with a drink till close," reaches all of them. Some are two blocks away.

Holiday preorders are the other big one. Thanksgiving pies, Christmas cookie boxes. Text the deadline to your list and the order sheet fills before you post it anywhere.

Every one of these takes under a minute to write and 4 seconds to send.

§ 03 · How café owners use it

Three jobs. One text each.

No campaign builder. No funnels. Just the message and the people it goes to.

Afternoons

Dead hours, small perk.

A half-off pastry with a drink after 1pm costs almost nothing and turns a dead afternoon into a decent one.

Holidays

Preorders, by text.

Pies, cookie boxes, cakes. Text the deadline and the menu to your regulars. Replies are the order sheet.

Regulars

"Fresh out," to the people who care.

The special loaf, the seasonal drink, the last batch. Your regulars want to know. Tell them.

§ 04 · How it works

Three steps. Five minutes.

If you can text a friend, you can do this.

01

Bring your customer list

Import the numbers you already have. Unlimited contacts on every plan, so the whole client book fits.

02

Write one message

Plain text, your words. Use {first_name} and it fills in each person's name automatically.

03

Hit send, read the replies

Everyone gets it in seconds. When they text back, it lands in your NotifyGrid inbox, not a shared phone.

§ 05 · Questions

Before you sign up.

The ones café owners ask most.

How do I collect numbers?

A sign by the register and the loyalty signup. Add regulars as they come in, or use the iOS app between rushes. Unlimited contacts on every plan.

Can customers reply to preorder?

Yes. Replies land in your NotifyGrid inbox with the customer's name. Work through them like an order sheet.

How often should I text?

Two or three times a week is plenty for a café. A perk, a special, a preorder window. Regulars who hear from you with something real don't opt out.

Fill the afternoon. Text the regulars.

Everyone who loves your coffee, one message, three minutes. $5 to try.
