How the plug-in works for Coffee Shops & Cafes
The morning rush is where a coffee shop wins or loses regulars. People who can order ahead walk in, pick up and leave; everyone else watches the queue and sometimes walks on. A dedicated ordering app is expensive to build and few customers install one. An AI assistant they already use can take the order from your menu and hand it to the bar.
The customer asks what you have, the plug-in lists matching items with prices, and once they confirm it sends your team an itemised order with a total and a reference. General questions about menu, hours, specials and catering orders are answered from your business profile.
Your team confirms every order itself. The plug-in never takes payment and only shares what you have published.
The Coffee Shops & Cafes plug-in is available to businesses in any country. Free setup of your business profile in ChatGPT is for US businesses for now; outside the US, choose a plug-in plan and we confirm your setup with you. Plug-in plans are $24.99 a month or $199 a year, paid through Stripe.
Where it pays off
A commuter orders on the way in and collects without queueing.
Six drinks with six different milks arrive as one clear order.
Customers asking what is new see it on the menu with its price.
A reference check replaces craning over the counter.
