Branded coffee shop website
A fast, SEO-ready site in your own brand, with your menu and ordering built into the page instead of bolted on.
Coffee shop website, web ordering, and mobile app built for Square POS
Per Diem gives your coffee shop everything it needs to take direct orders: a branded website, fast web ordering, a custom iOS and Android app, loyalty, push notifications, and Square POS sync.
Built for coffee shops, cafes, bakeries, boba shops, and quick-service brands using Square.
Your coffee shop needs more than a basic website
Coffee customers want speed. They want to reorder their usual drink, pay with Apple Pay, earn rewards, and pick up without waiting in line. A generic website builder can show your menu, but it will not create a repeat-order habit.
- Customers call instead of ordering ahead
- Staff manually re-enter orders
- Loyalty is disconnected from online ordering
- Third-party marketplaces take margin and own the customer
- Generic app builders do not sync cleanly with Square
Per Diem does it all in one Square-connected platform
One platform covers the website, the ordering, and the app — so your coffee shop is not stitching three vendors together.
Web ordering that converts
Pickup, delivery, catering, and group orders from any browser — no download required for a first-time customer.
Custom iOS and Android app
Your own app in the App Store and Google Play, under your name and your artwork, not a shared marketplace listing.
Square POS menu and order sync
Items, modifiers, pricing, and availability follow your Square catalog, and online orders land in the workflow your team already runs.
Square Loyalty support
Regulars earn and redeem on the same loyalty account whether they order in store, on the web, or in the app.
The payments people expect
Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, and store credit, so a morning order takes seconds rather than a form.
Push, SMS, and email campaigns
Reach your customers directly for a new seasonal drink or a slow Tuesday afternoon, without renting an audience.
Customer profiles and reorder history
Every order is attached to a real customer, so favorites, saved cards, and one-tap reorder actually work.
Promotions and rewards
Run rewards, referrals, streaks, and birthday offers that are tied to the same ordering experience.
Built for the daily rhythm of a coffee shop
The same handful of moments happen in every cafe, every day. These are the ones the platform is shaped around.
Morning rush pickup
Orders queue ahead of the line instead of in it.
One-tap reorder
Regulars re-order the usual without rebuilding it.
Drink customization
Modifier-heavy builds carried straight from Square.
Loyalty for repeat visits
Rewards that land after the visits that earn them.
Slow-hour promotions
Fill the 2pm lull with a targeted offer.
Birthday drink offers
An automatic reason to come back once a year.
Seasonal drink launches
Announce the new menu to the people already buying.
Order-ready notifications
A push when the cup is on the counter.
Multi-location ordering
One brand, one app, the right store selected.
Everything stays connected to Square
Per Diem connects to your Square setup so your menu, modifiers, orders, payments, and loyalty stay aligned. Your team keeps using the workflow they already know while customers get a polished branded ordering experience.

Coffee shop app and website FAQ
What is the best mobile app builder for a coffee shop using Square?
Look for a platform built around Square rather than one that treats it as a generic integration: your catalog and modifiers should sync from Square, orders should land in Square, and loyalty should be the same balance customers already have. Per Diem is built that way for coffee shops, cafes, and quick-service brands, and ships a branded website, web ordering, and an iOS and Android app together.
Can I build a coffee shop website with online ordering?
Yes. Per Diem gives your coffee shop a branded website with web ordering built into the page, so customers can browse the menu and place a pickup or delivery order without leaving your site or downloading anything.
Does Per Diem integrate with Square POS?
Yes. Menus, modifiers, pricing, availability, orders, and payments stay connected to the Square account you already use, and your staff keeps working from the Square flow they know.
Does Per Diem support Square Loyalty?
Yes. Customers can earn and redeem Square Loyalty points on orders placed through your website and your mobile app, on the same loyalty account they use in store.
Can customers order ahead for pickup?
Yes. Pickup ordering is the core flow for a coffee shop: customers order ahead from the app or the web, pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, a card, or store credit, and get a notification when the order is ready.
Can my coffee shop have its own iPhone and Android app?
Yes. You get your own branded app published on the App Store and Google Play under your business name and artwork, not a listing inside a shared marketplace app.
Is Per Diem better than a generic app builder?
For a coffee shop on Square, the difference is depth rather than page count. A generic builder can produce an app; Per Diem covers the Square catalog and order sync, Square Loyalty, modifier-heavy drink builds, reordering, push and SMS campaigns, and multi-location ordering as one connected system.
Do I need to replace Square to use Per Diem?
No. Square stays your point of sale. Per Diem adds the branded website, web ordering, mobile app, loyalty, and marketing on top of your existing Square setup.
How long does it take to launch?
Timelines depend on your menu, your brand assets, and app store review, and our team walks you through each step. Book a demo and we will map out a launch plan for your coffee shop.
Can Per Diem support multiple coffee shop locations?
Yes. Multi-location brands run one app and one website across their stores, with customers picking a location and each store keeping its own menu, hours, and availability.
