No Address, Same Regulars
A van, a round, a customer’s driveway. The card gives people a way to find you tomorrow that does not depend on them remembering to look.
The address changes, the customers do not
Either the shop is a vehicle that parks somewhere different each day, or the work happens at the customer’s house. Either way there is no door with your name on it for anyone to walk back into.
How Do People Know Where You Are Today?
Tap everything you use now. Most ways of telling people rely on them thinking of you first — which is the whole problem.
None of these are wrong. The question is only whether anything you have arrives on its own, on the day, without being looked for.
Two Ways to Be Mobile
A coffee van and a mobile groomer are not the same business. Pick your shape and how often a customer needs you, and the setup changes with it.
Suggestions, not rules — your own menu and prices decide the details. Everything named here is a setting that exists, not a plan we invented for the page.
Four Things That Change on the Move
Most loyalty advice assumes a door, a counter and a till. Take those away and four things work differently.
A location in the platform is a fixed address with a fixed radius of about a hundred metres, and the message fires whenever someone walks through that spot — on Tuesday when you are there, and on Wednesday when you are twelve miles away.
Instead: a manual push, sent when you park or scheduled the night before. It reaches both phone types, says where you actually are, and costs nothing.
How push notifications work →A post at seven in the morning is read by whoever happens to open the app. A push arrives on the lock screen of everyone who installed your card, whether they were looking or not.
Do this: one short push per pitch — where, until when, and one reason to walk over. Send it as you set up, or schedule it the evening before with the date and time.
Timing a push well →There is no counter to leave a card holder on, and no waiting area with a table tent. The code has to live on whatever the customer already looks at.
Do this: a printed code on the van, on the cup, on the invoice or the job sheet you hand over. If their camera fails, look them up in the Scanner App by name, phone, email or card number instead.
Signing people up in a queue →The Scanner App is a web app that opens in a phone browser, so the van needs no till, no tablet and nothing bolted down.
Do this: keep it signed in on the phone you already carry, and type the amount at the scan if you want spend-based earning or an average check worth reading. Kiosk mode is the one thing that does not travel well — it expects a device sitting somewhere for customers to scan themselves.

Tick them off once. After that the whole thing lives in a pocket.
Three Numbers Worth the Diesel
A round is a set of bets on places and days. These three tell you which bets are paying.
The one that decides whether a pitch is a stop or a one-off. A busy pitch full of strangers every week is a queue, not a round.
How much of your list actually turns up. If it slips while the list grows, you are collecting sign-ups rather than regulars.
One link per stop, each with its own QR code and its own count. This is how a hunch about the industrial estate becomes a decision.
What Do You Want It to Do?
Once the card is on people’s phones, each page below shows the settings that move one number.
