for the cafés and restaurants rewiring how guwahati eats.

guwahati's café strips — gs road, zoo road, khanapara, dispur — are in the middle of a structural lift. specialty coffee, third-wave roasters, microbreweries opening under the new excise framework, cloud kitchens reaching tier-2 markets. india's café market crosses ₹5,000 cr in 2026, and the broader cafés-and-bars segment moves from $18.83 billion today to $31.47 billion by 2031.

every outlet on those strips has a zomato listing and an instagram. the ones with their own website, their own ordering flow, and a customer who comes back twice without an aggregator in between — those are the ones building lasting businesses. we build that layer.

// what we build

the digital layer, end to end.

// 01

the café website that actually sells coffee.

fast, image-rich, mobile-first. menu with photos, hours, location, reservation widget, embedded instagram, story-first hero. loads in under a second on the network your customers actually have. no zomato dependency on day one.

// next.js · shopify · mobile-first · instagram embed

// 02

online ordering that keeps the margin.

direct ordering via petpooja, dotpe, or a custom storefront — your menu, your customer data, no 25% aggregator cut on every order. payment via razorpay and upi. fulfillment routes to dine-in, takeaway, or delivery cleanly.

// 03

pos that does not require ripping out the terminal.

integrates with your existing petpooja or posist setup. inventory updates in real time across menu, ordering app, and walk-in. one place to update prices when the seasonal menu changes.

// 04

loyalty + reservations + reviews.

returning customers are the unit economics. loyalty profile across visits, birthday and anniversary triggers, whatsapp reminders. for pubs and microbreweries, reservation engine with deposit collection and no-show fees. review aggregation across google, zomato, and tripadvisor in one inbox.

// loyalty · reservations · whatsapp · review aggregator

// why now

the buying signal: india's café market clears ₹5,000 cr in 2026 and guwahati is on the named list of northeast hubs leading that growth. the operators who own their customer data instead of renting it from zomato will own the decade.
