From Concept to Café: 10 Systems Every Specialty Coffee Bar Needs
Before you open your café, build strong systems for workflow, layout, and consistency. Learn 10 essential café management systems to improve efficiency, profits, and team training.
Brewspace is the back-of-house platform that helps cafes and restaurants
save
6+ hours weekly and reduce waste
by 20% through standardized
checklists, recipes, and real-time insights.
The problem
Paper checklists go missing. Recipes live in someone's head. New hires take weeks to train. Quality varies by who's on shift. You're not alone—and there's a better way.
How it works
Add your existing checklists, recipes, and procedures. We'll help you digitize everything in under an hour.
Share access with your staff. They'll have everything they need on their phones. No training required.
Monitor compliance, spot issues early, and continuously improve your operations with real data.
The solution
Turn your routines into clear, reliable checklists your team can follow on their own.
Keep recipes clear, updated, and followed across shifts and locations — so every drink meets your standards.
Get instant visibility into performance and compliance across shifts and locations. Spot issues early, coach effectively, and improve continuously.
"Drinks taste the same no matter who's on bar, and I'm not constantly answering questions about what to do next."

"Our syrups and drinks taste the same every time and our waste dropped by 20%. New hires get up to speed in half the time now."
