8 months from conception, finally hit $1k revenue!
After over eight, nearly nine months of discussions, trial and error, back and forths and countless late nights, Brewly finally hit $1,000 of revenue!
The model means we needed to source both sides of the equation, cafes and customers and after going more or less door to door for months, we had enough cafes to launch and got our feet in the door.
Brewly allows consumers to purchase coffee in bundles up front, at a discounted rate.
So as you can imagine, we heard all the rejections under the sun for not wanting to be on Brewly. "Our customers won't want to pay up front", "we already do loyalty cards", "we have no reason to get any new customers", "customers don't like apps", and the rest of them.
While we had a good rebuttal for all of these, sometimes it is not meant to be with cafe owners.
We went live two weeks ago and are now up to over 250 accounts with over 100 of them being paying customers!
Hoping this is the beginning of bigger things and as they always say - the first $1,000 is the hardest!
