Merch and beans are the margin layer on a thin-margin core business.
Your city is your cheapest market
Local regulars buy beans monthly — same-day restock is a loyalty perk.
Going national
Beans and tees are trivially easy freight.
| Decision | The right move |
|---|---|
| Same-city orders | Hyperlocal riders — per-trip pricing, hours not days |
| National orders | Surface express default, air for the urgent few |
| COD strategy | Prepaid mostly — cafe customers pay digitally anyway. |

Your first move
Subscription beans — the cheapest retention program you'll ever run.
How it runs day to day
1
Orders flow in
Instagram DMs, WhatsApp or your store — Pakka Parcel works inside Shopify and WooCommerce — quotes show on every order.
2
Quote per order
Same-city → rider fares; national → carrier rates. The cheapest option shows itself.
3
Book and hand off
Wallet holds the amount; rider collects or carrier manifests.
4
Customer tracks
Status syncs to the store — you stop answering 'kab aayega'.
One wallet, every carrier, per-order quoting — built for exactly this kind of mixed shipping.
