At the counter

Your regulars are known at the register

Baristas look a regular up on the register you already run, and their cup-a-day allowance counts down as each drink is redeemed. Member discounts apply on their own on Square and Lightspeed. Toast, Shift4, and Clover list rewards for staff to apply.

No punch cards and no second register for baristas to learn. The same member record follows them across every cafe and counter you run.

More than a punch card

A subscription that ships beans, not just points

A coffee membership on MemberZone can ship whole beans and merch, not just track points. Multi-carrier labels through Shippo and sales tax are built in, so a subscription becomes a real recurring-revenue product.

Memberships bill weekly, monthly, or on the cadence you set. Take a payment up front as prepaid credit on a member's membership, and each renewal draws from it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about running memberships and loyalty for coffee & cafes.

Still have questions?

Talk to us and we'll walk you through MemberZone on the POS you already run.

What is the best membership app for a coffee shop?
The best coffee shop membership app works with the register you already use and keeps the counter moving. MemberZone bills subscriptions automatically, counts down cup-a-day allowances, rewards regulars at the counter, and can also ship beans, with members looked up on Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Shift4, or Clover.
Can I run a coffee subscription on my point of sale?
Yes. MemberZone bills cup-a-day plans and bean subscriptions and keeps count of each member's allowance. On Toast, rewards and ready pickups show on the check. Square and Lightspeed apply member discounts on their own. On Shift4 the register lists the rewards a member can use, and on Clover rewards appear as named discounts, and staff apply them.
How do staff find a member during the morning rush?
On Toast and Shift4, staff scan the QR code on the member's phone or search by email or phone. On Square, Lightspeed, and Clover, members are customers in the register, so staff find them the way they find any customer.
How do cup allowances work?
A plan can include a reward with a set number of uses each day, week, month, or membership period, and each one redeemed at the register or logged by hand counts down what is left. A cup-a-day plan resets each day; a monthly allowance resets each month.
Can a coffee subscription ship beans?
Yes. Unlike points-only loyalty apps, MemberZone can ship beans and merch with multi-carrier labels and sales tax handled, so a subscription moves product, not just points.
How much does MemberZone cost for a cafe?
Starter and Growth have no monthly platform fee. You pay a percentage of the membership and loyalty volume you process, starting at 2.8% and dropping to 2.4% as you grow. High-volume programs move to Enterprise, a flat monthly rate set by revenue and member count. Everyday coffee sales are not counted.
