Tech in the Cafe, 2025: Wait Times and Community

Great coffee isn’t enough if the line is 25 minutes and seating is gone. In 2025, the best cafe experiences start before you arrive: real‑time wait estimates, current offerings, and crowd insights — so you pick the right spot without guessing.

From friction to flow

Faster discovery means fewer dead ends: you head straight to a cafe that fits the moment. Shops benefit too — smoother demand, happier regulars, smarter staffing.

Community features

Lightweight social tools — sharing shots, notes, and events — help cafes tell their story and help people find their people. Tech should reduce friction, not replace the vibe.
