Free loyalty program and back office for cafes
The Break-even calculator, the Profit by item screen and the Stamp card are free. They are set up for how a cafe runs, including how many days a regular can be away before KANJIN flags them.
No card and no time limit. The calculators need no account at all.
How a cafe runs
The numbers are set for your trade
A cafe regular comes almost every day. Three weeks without a visit usually means they found somewhere else.
21
days without a visit before KANJIN flags a regular
This is the default for a cafe. Writing too early annoys people. Waiting too long means they have already found somewhere else. You can change the number in the back office.

A cafe sells many small tickets. The difference between a good day and a losing day is a few customers, and most owners do not know how many.

What is left after cost of goods
We divide your monthly fixed costs by the 26 days you open. Then we add one day of labor cost. Each customer covers only what is left after cost of goods. That is why the number is higher than your costs divided by the average check.

Questions cafe owners ask
- How many customers a day does my cafe need?
- Put in your fixed costs, your daily staff cost, your average spend and your cost of goods. The answer is customers per trading day. It counts only the days you open, not calendar days, which is where most rough sums go wrong.
- How soon should I write to a cafe regular who stops coming?
- KANJIN flags a cafe customer after 21 days. Coffee is a daily habit. Somebody who came four times a week and has not been in for three weeks has usually changed where they go. After a month you are writing to a stranger.
- Can I run the stamp card without buying anything?
- Yes. The digital stamp card is part of the free back office. Each customer is saved under a phone number, the list stays on your own device, and there is no app for anybody to download.
