How Brontie Works
Simple for customers. Seamless for cafés.

For Customers
Gift experiences, not just vouchers
Buy a Treat
A customer visits brontie.ie and chooses a product (e.g. “2 Coffees and a Cake”) from your café’s listing.
Send Instantly
They pay online and get a unique link they can send to a friend via WhatsApp, text, or email
Simple Redemption
The recipient visits your café and scans your café’s QR block displayed on the counter.

“No apps. No accounts. Just thoughtful gifting.”

For Cafés
Grow your business effortlessly
List Your Café for Free
Sign up in minutes, add your first product (like “Coffee & Cake”).
Redeem Instantly In-Store
Customers scan your café’s QR block (or your POS scanner). We handle all the verification automatically.
Get Paid, Hassle-Free
Payouts via Stripe Connect twice a month with a full summary report of sales and redemptions.

“No setup fees. No subscription. You only pay when you earn.”
Everything you need to go live and start earning
Want the nuts and bolts? Here's how it all comes together
- Click the link to get started — add your café details and first product (optional).
- Brontie reviews your application within 24 hours. Once approved, you can:
- Update your profile
- You’ll receive a free QR block to handle redemptions easily in-store.
- Add your IBAN for payouts
- Manage products and prices
- ✅ And that's it — your café is live and ready for gifting!
Every café on Brontie gets access to their own simple dashboard — a clear overview of how gifts and redemptions are performing.
You can easily:
- See all active and redeemed vouchers (with timestamps and café details for multi-location partners)
- Track sales and redemption trends over time
- View upcoming payouts and summaries at a glance
All key info is also shared automatically before each payout, so it's easy to stay on top of everything — even on your busiest days.
When someone comes in to use their Brontie gift, it's quick and secure — no codes or confusion.
Here's how it works:
- The customer opens their Brontie gift link and taps Redeem — this activates their phone camera.
- They simply scan your café's Brontie QR plaque on the counter.
- The system instantly verifies the voucher and marks it as redeemed in your dashboard.
- Each voucher is single-use, timestamped, and can't be reused or shared — even if someone screenshots it.
💡 For cafés with a POS scanner, there's also the option to scan the customer's code directly from their phone instead.
Joining Brontie is completely free — there are no setup or monthly fees.
You only pay a small commission when a Brontie gift is redeemed, so you earn before you ever pay.
Here's how payments work:
- Payouts: Every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month, cafés are paid automatically through Stripe Connect.
- Reports: Before each payout, you'll receive a clear summary showing all redeemed and active vouchers.
- Fees: Standard Stripe transaction fees apply, plus a small Brontie platform commission — both deducted automatically.
It's transparent, secure, and designed so you can focus on your coffee — not admin☕

Why Cafés Love Brontie
Discover how Brontie can transform your café's customer acquisition and revenue streams.
New Revenue Stream
Brontie is more than a gift card — it's a new way to earn from your café. Unlike traditional vouchers, Brontie gifts are small, impulse- driven, and often shared. They bring in customers who may not have visited before and encourage repeat visits.
Bring in New Faces, Every Week
Recipients often bring a friend when redeeming their gift — meaning one voucher often brings two customers through your door.
This has brought in new faces curious to see how they can redeem their gift.

Turn Gifts Into Visits, Fast
Bronties don't linger. On average, they're redeemed within 13 days — giving your café a steady, consistent stream of new visitors.


Higher-Value Treats
57% of Brontie customers choose a two coffees + cake option instead of a single drink. The average Brontie order value is €7.67* (based on 100 data points), showing that people are generous and happy to spend a little more when gifting.
That means higher revenue potential for cafés.
