About CafeCue
We're on a mission to help local beverage shops compete with chains while keeping their unique character.
Our Story
Founded in 2024 in Palo Alto, CafeCue was born from a simple observation: local beverage shops have amazing character and community, but they're losing customers to chains that offer digital convenience.
We believe every neighborhood coffee shop, boba tea spot, juice bar, and smoothie shop deserves the same digital tools as the big chains - without losing what makes them special.
Our conversational ordering platform lets customers order naturally via text while giving shop owners powerful insights and automation tools. No apps to download, no complex systems to learn.
Our Mission
Level the playing field for local beverage businesses by providing enterprise-grade digital tools that preserve their unique character and community connection.
Our Vision
A world where every local beverage shop thrives with the digital convenience customers expect while maintaining the personal touch that makes them irreplaceable.
Our Values
Local First
We prioritize local businesses over chains, keeping money and character in communities.
Simplicity
Technology should be invisible. We make ordering as natural as texting a friend.
Transparency
No hidden fees, no percentage cuts. Fair, flat-rate pricing that grows with you.
Built in Palo Alto
We're a small team of engineers, designers, and coffee enthusiasts who believe technology should strengthen communities, not replace them.
Interested in joining our mission? We're always looking for talented people who share our values.
