The beacon device

Your in-store presence.

The pilot beacon is a small, inexpensive Android tablet on a stand placed near your register. It serves two functions:

1.

Displays the QR code — customers scan it to start a beam.

2.

Visual + audio confirmation — when a beam triggers, the beacon glows and signals the barista.

Final form factor will evolve based on merchant feedback from the pilot.

Marketing value

Word-of-mouth that
money can't normally buy.

New customer acquisition

Customers who get beamd arrive because someone believed in kindness at your café. That's a personal connection before they even touch their drink.

Community reputation

A café that participates in beamd becomes known as a place where good things happen. That story spreads organically.

Zero content burden

You don't post, design, or run ads. beamd generates organic marketing through the customers who experience it.

Return visit rate

Customers who were beamd come back — not because of a stamp card, but because of how the experience made them feel.

First-mover advantage

We're onboarding one café per neighborhood. The first café in your area becomes the beamd café.

$0 marketing cost

The pilot is free. The marketing is free. The only investment is plugging in a small device and saying 'you've been beamd.'
