Whatever's open
this week.

Pulled from the till as it sits today — roasters we rate, lots we'd pour ourselves.

Come and sit down.

A small bar that opens out the back — pull up a seat in the courtyard and stay a while. Filter on batch, the Axil house pre-batched, and more single-origin lots than the bar has any right to carry. No bookings — just turn up.

Hire the people who built Beta.

Most of what runs Beta took us a long time to work out: the systems behind the bar, and the coffee on it. Setting either up again in your venue is quick, because the hard part is already done.

The systems.

Most of Beta's admin happens without us. The centre of it is a link between the till, the website, the inbox and an AI assistant, so the jobs that used to take an evening now run on their own, and anything else is a question you ask from your phone.

We build the same link to fit your setup. Then we go through a week of your admin with you and automate the jobs that eat the most hours first, on the tools you already pay for. When those tools change, we keep it working.

What runs at Beta today:

Ask the tillWhat sold yesterday, change a price, list a new product, in plain English from a phone.
InvoicesRead when they arrive, costed to the cup with freight and exchange rates, then priced and listed on the till and the website at the same time.
Web ordersBooked with the courier, marked as shipped with tracking, with labels and packing slips printed at the bar.
Morning briefYesterday's numbers and whatever needs a decision, on the owner's phone before opening.
Team chatStaff ask the assistant what's on the bar, how a lot tastes, or what's running low.
Weekly wrapThe week's takings across the till and the website, on one page.

With us

Tell us which jobs you'd hand over first. We build it, connect it and keep it running.

The coffee.

Our house espresso is pre-batched: extracted ahead, held cold and poured to order. It keeps a small bar moving through a rush, and the cup is cleaner for it. You're paying for our specs and tolerances, and for running it at volume in a ranked bar.

Cafés

Take the espresso machine out of the bottleneck. We spec the gear, write the recipe and holding standards, train the team, and keep checking it.

Restaurants, hotels, offices, wine bars

Specialty coffee with nobody dialling in. We spec it, install it, hand over the method and keep it in tolerance. Your staff just pour.
