Fortnightly bags, grind preferences and pause-anytime, run from one place. You roast what the round needs and the beans arrive days off the roaster, not weeks.
Roast too much and it stales on the shelf. Too little and subscribers wait. Either way the hunch, not the order book, decided.
Espresso for the Fernandes flat, French press for the cafe on 3rd, whole bean for almost everyone else. Kept in memory and sticky notes.
A cupboard full of unopened bags is the number one reason people cancel. They did not stop loving the coffee. They fell behind it.
On a single-bag delivery, the payment processor can take a bigger cut than your margin on the milk drinkers ever will.
Every subscription feeds a forecast by origin, size and grind. You roast on roast day to a number, and bags go out days off the roaster.
Grind, size and frequency live on the subscription, set by the drinker. The sticky notes retire and the wrong-grind apology emails stop.
One tap pushes the next bag back a week or a month. Subscribers manage their own cupboard, and you keep a customer who would otherwise have churned.
Wallets can be topped up by bank transfer or any method you accept, then charged per delivery. Processor fees stop deciding your minimum order.

A micro-roastery in Bangalore, a garage roaster in Portland, a specialty shop in Berlin. Your currency, your payment methods, your rules.
Lanemi began on a farm selling its own produce on a round. Roasting is the same shape of problem, perishable output, standing orders and a delivery loop, so the same system fits without bending.

Yes. Grind, size and frequency are set per subscription by the subscriber, and the roast plan totals them for you.
Yes, one tap. Pausing instead of cancelling is the single biggest churn saver for bean subscriptions.
Local drops run on runsheets. Posted orders can ride the same order book and forecast, with fulfilment marked when you hand to the courier.
No. Set up the methods you want, including bank transfer and cash for local drops. The wallet and ledger treat each correctly.
Yes. A cafe is a bigger standing order with its own stop. If wholesale becomes the main event, see the B2B supply use case.
