BrewRun — Skip the queue, support local coffee
A mobile-first pre-ordering platform connecting coffee lovers with independent coffee shops and mobile vendors, enabling frictionless advance ordering and discovery — at 3.5% + 20p per transaction (77% cheaper than delivery apps).
The problem
Independent coffee vendors lose revenue to long queues — 86% of UK consumers avoid stores with long waits, costing shops up to £3,581 daily. Meanwhile, discovering mobile coffee vendors means checking multiple social media accounts, and delivery platforms charge 15–35% commission that destroys margins.
The solution
BrewRun charges just 3.5% + 20p per transaction (77% cheaper than delivery apps) with zero setup fees. Customers pre-order and skip the queue, while a discovery map helps them find independent vendors — especially mobile ones. A free built-in loyalty program saves vendors £300–1,788/year versus standalone platforms.
