Coffee shops today aren’t just about coffee – they’re about experience. Customers expect personalization, convenience, and smooth service. Imagine a smart app that lets users customize their orders, collect loyalty points, send digital gift cards, and order from their table with just a scan.This challenge is all about reimagining how people interact with their favorite café through technology.

Some ideas to help you get started, but don't limit yourself to these:

What You’ll Build
Build a Digital Café Companion App that enhances the end-to-end customer experience, from ordering and loyalty to gifting and table service. Your solution should aim to include some or all of the following features.

🎁 Send a Gift Card
Allow users to send digital gift cards (e.g., for birthdays or special occasions) via the app or an API.
Include a personal message and redemption option in-store or online.
☕ Make Your Own Coffee / Custom Ordering
Let users customize their coffee or choose from other café products and place orders through the app.
Notify users when their order is ready for pickup or table delivery.
🎯 Loyalty Program
Implement a point-based system where customers earn points with every purchase.Users can redeem points for free items like a coffee or a pastry.
📱 Scan & Order at the Table
Let customers scan a QR code on the table, view the menu, and order directly from their seat — no waiting in line required.
