Get paid for thecoffee you already post
CafeRadar pays creators three ways: for the views your links drive, for the people who join and check in, and a share of every cafe you bring on board. Real euros, paid monthly. No user paywalls, ever.
Join our first paid creators. Every city, every platform.
ES · Versión en españolHow you earn
Three streams, all in euros, all tracked. Structures shown here, exact rates set in your creator agreement.
Reach fee
Share links that open the app right on a cafe, city, or feature. When your audience taps through, you earn on the traffic you actually drive. This is pay per view, with a clear ceiling.
How we count it: views and taps are verified through your trackable links and our analytics, not follower counts. Capped at up to €300 per month per creator while we are in pilot markets.
Signup bounty
Bring new people to CafeRadar. When someone joins through your link and makes their first check-in, that is a real user, not a ghost install. You get paid for the ones who stick.
How we count it: a signup counts only once the new user completes their first check-in, never on install alone. Capped at up to €150 per month per creator while in pilot markets.
Merchant referral share
This is the big one. Introduce a cafe you love, they subscribe, and you earn 20 percent of what they pay for 12 months. Bring one cafe or twenty. There is no cap on how many.
How we count it: every cafe carries your ambassador code from onboarding through verification to a paid subscription, all tracked on our dashboard. No cap on the number of cafes you bring.
Paid monthly in euros, once your balance clears €20. The app stays free for users. Your earnings come from merchant subscriptions and a bounded marketing budget, never from a user paywall.
✦ Why us
Real taste beats the feed.
Most apps chase whatever is trending. We built CafeRadar around people and the places they actually love. Your recommendations carry weight here, your audience finds better coffee, and you get paid for the work.
Features made to share
The hooks are already built. Point your camera and go.
Find it on the map
Open to a map of specialty spots only, no chains in sight. Tap any pin and the card slides up with photos and rating. The map that hides the chains is an instant hook.
Walk there, watch it count down
Tap directions and the distance ticks down live as you walk, 200m away shrinking in real time. Satisfying POV footage that sells the payoff before you even arrive.
Check in, earn Sips
Tap check-in at the cafe and Sips land with a little celebration. Getting paid in coffee points just for showing up writes its own caption.
Scan your drink
Point the camera at your flat white or your plate, tap analyze, and estimated calories, caffeine, sugar, and macros appear in seconds. It logs to your journal on its own, and it is very screenshotable.
Fill your punch card
Scan the counter code and a stamp lands on your digital card. Every visit adds one, and the cafe's reward lands when the card is full, no paper card to lose. A challenge your followers will run.
Ping a cafe to a friend
Send this exact cafe to a friend in one tap. Film the send and the reply landing. It sells the feeling people want: being the friend with the best coffee list.
Coffee get-togethers
Host a public get-together that drops as a photo pin on the map, invite your followers directly, and broadcast to anyone nearby. Turn a caption into a real table at a real cafe.
Build your own community
Start your own coffee circle, invite your people, and drop the first message. Your corner of the app, and a group your audience joins to keep the conversation going.
Traveler mode
Early accessLand in a new city, open the app, and see the meetups and locals already there. The lonely-traveler hook is gold. We will tell you when it is live to film for real.
On top of the money
Status, access, and support that come with the program.
Ambassador status
A verified crown on your profile and a place in the program. Build a local scene and vouch for the cafes you love.
Early access
You see new features before anyone and help shape what ships next. First to try, first to make content about it.
Co-marketing
We build content together and put real support behind it. Feature swaps, launch collabs, and a spot on our own channels.
Gift a free pilot
Nominate a cafe and we set them up free: a live listing and digital loyalty, with your name on the introduction.
Who we're looking for
Four kinds of creator, one thing in common: you know good coffee.
Coffee people
Baristas, roasters, brewers, home-cafe folks. If you geek out on a good pour, we want you.
Cafe-hoppers
You review three spots a week and your camera roll is 80 percent flat whites. Perfect.
City guides
You tell people where to eat, work, and hang. Add the coffee layer and bring your city on the map.
Expats and nomads
New in town every few months and always hunting the good stuff. Your finds help everyone who lands after you.
Four steps to get paid
Apply in two minutes
Tell us your city, your handle, and the coffee content you make. Drop a link or two so we can see your style.
Get approved and get your links
We approve you as an ambassador and hand you your trackable links and codes: one for cafes, one for new users. Everything you share is attributed to you.
Post and bring people in
Make content around real cafes, share your links, and introduce cafes you love. Views, activated signups, and cafe subscriptions all land on your dashboard.
Get paid monthly
We tally your reach, activated signups, and referral shares, then pay out every month in euros once you clear the €20 floor.
Common questions
When and how do I get paid?
Monthly, in euros, once your balance clears the €20 minimum payout. Anything under the floor rolls to the next month so nothing is lost. The exact rates you earn are set in your creator agreement.
How are views verified?
Through your own trackable links and our analytics, not follower counts or screenshots. We only pay on real taps that open the app, and reach is capped per month while we are in pilot markets.
What counts as an activated signup?
A new user who joins through your link and completes their first check-in. Installs alone do not count. This keeps the program about real people, not empty numbers.
How does the merchant referral share work?
You get an ambassador code and links. When a cafe you introduce onboards, gets verified, and subscribes, you earn 20 percent of their subscription for 12 months. We track every step, and there is no cap on how many cafes you bring.
Why are there monthly caps?
Reach and signup bounties are capped per creator while we are in pilot markets, so the program stays sustainable as we scale. The merchant referral share has no cap on the number of cafes. Caps lift as we grow.
Do I need a big following?
No. We care more about taste and consistency than a number. If you make honest coffee content and people trust your picks, apply.
What about taxes?
Earnings are paid gross and you are responsible for your own taxes and any reporting in your country.
Who runs this?
CafeRadar is built in Madrid by a small team that cares about specialty coffee and independent cafes. You will talk to real people, not a form.
