Selling business energy contracts and procurement advice to cafes

Cafes are often owner operated with a small team, and the owner is usually behind the counter or the coffee machine. They buy coffee, milk, cakes and equipment regularly, and switching supplier depends on taste, service and a good personal relationship.

Energy brokers find business customers through calls, referrals and partners who pass on leads. A lead database of your own lets you record contract end dates and approach each company when a switch is actually possible.

The cafes that need business energy contracts and procurement advice are listed publicly. What most energy brokers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What energy brokers run into with cafes

Lead lists bought from third parties are shared with many other brokers.

Build your own list from public sources and keep it private on your own server.

You lose track of when each contract ends.

Add a date field for contract end and filter on it to see who is due soon.

Cafes and restaurants blur together in scraped listings.

Use a field for business type and a saved filter so your cafe campaign only reaches cafes.

Owners reply by phone or in person, so email history is incomplete.

Add notes to the contact after every call or visit and update the status by hand.

Angles that work with cafes

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets cafes to click.

Offer a tasting or a sample, because cafe owners decide with their palate.
Talk about consistency and reliable delivery, since running out of beans or milk costs a morning of trade.
Point to something local, such as a nearby roaster or producer, which cafes like to promote.

Fields worth recording for cafes

Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.

Field	Why it helps
Company name	The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
Website	Needed to derive an email when the export has none.
Coffee brand	The roaster they use tells a roaster or machine supplier where they stand.
Food offer	Cafes that serve food buy from bakeries and food wholesalers.
Seats	Size shows likely volume of coffee and cups.
Machine	The espresso machine they run matters for service and replacement offers.
Takeaway share	High takeaway volume means more cups, lids and packaging.

Questions people ask

How can a coffee roaster use Riftjaw to find new cafes?

Import a list of cafes from public listings, add fields for coffee brand and machine, and put the cafes not using your beans yet in their own segment. Then send a short campaign offering a tasting.

Can I record visits as well as emails?

Yes. Add a note on the contact after each visit and change the status. Email history is logged automatically next to your notes.

How do I get email addresses for cafes in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as hello@, info@, coffee@ and orders@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
