👋 About Per Diem
Per Diem is the mobile app platform that helps local restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops win.
We build custom ordering and loyalty apps for over 300 brands — like Chip City, Think Coffee, and Coffee Dose — powering 100,000+ orders every month across iOS and Android. We’re the highest-rated branded app provider in Square’s ecosystem and are growing fast.
Most small businesses can’t compete with national chains on tech. We’re changing that.
🌍 Our vision
We believe local businesses should have access to world-class mobile experiences — without hiring a dev team.
Per Diem builds branded app magic, with full Square POS integration included. Each app is designed with the business’s own logo, colors, and tone, launching in just 24 hours. Customers can order ahead, pay with Apple or Google Pay, track rewards, and get delivery via DoorDash — all in one place.
Think Starbucks-level experience, but made for your neighborhood coffee shop or bakery.
Our apps sync in real-time with Square, eliminating menu headaches and ensuring accuracy across pricing, inventory, and modifiers. Built-in tools like SMS onboarding, pop-up and sticky banners, and personalized push notifications drive engagement. Loyalty features like points, store credit, and subscriptions turn casual customers into regulars who spend 3x more.
The results speak for themselves: +30% average lift in order volume and 3x higher spend per user.
