What cafes are like as prospects
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.
After the morning rush, roughly mid morning to lunchtime on weekdays, owners tend to have a few minutes, while early mornings and weekends are busiest.
Where lists of cafes sit in the open
You do not need to buy data to reach cafes. Most of them are listed publicly, with a name, a website and often a phone number.
- Google Maps listings
- Coffee and cafe review sites
- Local business directories
- High street and town centre guides
Fields worth recording for cafes
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for cafes.
| 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. |
Working a list of cafes in Riftjaw
Every import waits as a concept until you publish it, so nothing lands in your database by accident.
Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file for cafes. Columns are matched for you and duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Fill in the missing emails
No email in the export? Tick hello@, info@, coffee@ and orders@ and addresses are derived from each website.
Reach them in small batches
Pick the segment, keep only status New, write one mail with placeholders like {company|your team} and send it in small batches.
Follow up on replies and clicks
Opens and clicks show up on each record. Add up to 5 follow-ups for those who did not open or click, and set the ones who answered to Replied or Customer so they get no follow-up.
What gets in the way, and how it is handled
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.
You pitch the same cafe twice because two reps kept their own spreadsheet.
Everyone works in one database with duplicate checks on import and unlimited users on an account.
Angles that get cafes to reply
Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with cafes.
- 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.

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