Do you hesitate before every search because it costs credits?

Many lead tools charge a credit for every lookup, export or enrichment. You start rationing searches and wondering if a contact is worth the cost.

It hits harder when you sell 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.

Credit worries slow down your prospecting and make the monthly bill hard to predict. Tools you pay for end up half used.

Other walls when prospecting cafes

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.

Fields worth recording for cafes

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

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
Coffee brandThe roaster they use tells a roaster or machine supplier where they stand.
Food offerCafes that serve food buy from bakeries and food wholesalers.
SeatsSize shows likely volume of coffee and cups.
MachineThe espresso machine they run matters for service and replacement offers.
Takeaway shareHigh takeaway volume means more cups, lids and packaging.

Questions people ask

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.
