Brew Network Automation Portal
Brew Network transforms appreciation into action, offering a seamless platform for sending coffee, wine, or beer vouchers to your teams and clients – redeemed in our community of local venues, sent directly to their phone or email.
Simple to use, effortless to manage – it’s more than a perk; its a statement that you value their contribution and relationship.
Use it to set up a weekly coffee allowance as part of your employee wellness initiative, automatically send employees a round of coffee on birthdays or make sure your top clients are thinking of you with a couple of wines at the end of the year for their local wine bar.
All automated and managed in our hassle-free online portal.
Do your team members go above and beyond? Shout them a coffee with Brew Network.
Employees should be rewarded for accomplishments both big and small, but while larger accomplishments can be acknowledged with pay rises and promotions, how do you celebrate your employees’ day-to-day wins each week?
Brew Network is an app that provides the simple means of shouting someone a coffee, attached with a friendly message sent direct to their mobile or email as a convenient digital voucher.
How does the Automation Portal work?
Creating a coffee allowance or automated gift for employees and clients
1.) Apply for a Brew Network membership and use your mobile number and 4 digit PIN to access.
2.) Create a recurring brew for a staff member or client. Schedule a weekly or monthly coffee allowance or a gift once a year.
3.) On the schedule you’ve set, the recipient will automatically receive the voucher and your message to their smartphone or email, in the form of a convenient digital voucher.
4.) The recipient shows their redeem code in the Brew Network mobile app at a participating café, bar or restaurant and the brew is theirs!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Brew Network?
Our software tool allows companies to build relationships with employees, clients and customers by creating personalised messages attached with gifts from local, independent cafes and small bars.
It can be used for staff reward and recognition programs, in the form of a coffee allowance/membership. Create touch points with clients throughout the year to drive more sales. Grow a business network by nurturing relationships with high impact, low cost product.
Successful businesses and creatives are now optimising for connections instead of views. Brew Network is positioned well to leverage off this shift from personal branding to community branding.
In the future we plan to expand our offering by developing an API for Brew Network which will allow us to integrate with middle-ware like Zapier. This will enable our users to connect Brew Network with many different softwares. Eg. Xero, ServiceM8, Asana, Slack, SalesForce, Mailchimp, Calendly, CRM’s and Employee Management Systems, Shopify.
Think – sending a coffee to a new email subscriber, sending a coffee to a user abandoning an ecommerce shopping cart, sending a couple of wines to a client once an invoice has settled in Xero.

Who are you guys?
Developed here in Perth, Western Australia, by members of the Cleaver Street Coworking Studio, the initial goal of this project was to help provide support for local venues by allowing users to send digital vouchers for products from local venues during COVID lockdowns.
Four years in we’ve made a few pivots, created a web app, new tools and continue to grow Brew Network’s community of venues and membership for our Automation Portal across Australia.
Our new goal as a fully fledged start up is to continue to build a great community, solve problems for businesses with creative software solutions, reach profitability early and grow slowly.
