Case studies

Dripos powers more than 100,000 coffee shops and cafés in the United States.

Challenge

Coffee shop owners who use Dripos, such as Revolución, want to offer their customers seamless experiences – whether they’re ordering at the counter, at a table, or at a pop-up event.

Solution

Stripe Reader S700 allowed users to run a custom POS app such as Dripos directly on the device.

Impact

“Now we can put all the things we have – including our loyalty program, receipts, and tipping – onto the reader. It’s basically like the register unit, but on the go,” said Avery Durrant, co-founder and co-CEO at Dripos.
