How it works

Built for busy scoop shops: start with one clear signup path, one believable update routine, and one flavor-alert flow customers can understand in seconds.

STEP 01

Put one signup path in front of customers

Start with a printable counter QR code or a short link anywhere you talk about today's flavors.

  • One location is enough to start
  • Printable counter QR or simple share link
  • Easy to try with one shop first

Counter signup

Scan for flavor alerts

Shared link

whatsinthecase.app/join/hop-downtown

Flavor alerts for Hop Downtown

Simple enough to print, text, or drop onto a website later.

STEP 02

Let people follow favorite flavors

Customers choose the flavors they care about and the location they visit most.

  • Location-specific alerts
  • Favorite-flavor signup
  • Clear SMS consent on every form

Customer signup

Text me when my flavor drops

Demo Creamery
Salted Caramel
Mint Chip
Vanilla Bean
Cherry Ripple
Subscribers pick the flavors they care about and only hear about the location they chose.
STEP 03

Update what is in the case on your cadence

Use Square when the data matches your real case, or let staff update flavors manually.

  • Manual updates supported
  • Square can layer in later
  • Website display can follow once the core flow works

Case update

Manual now Square later
Honey Lavender
Dark Chocolate
Fresh Strawberry
Cookie Dough

Start with the routine that matches real shop behavior, then add automation only if it makes the case easier to keep current.

STEP 04

Send the flavor alert when something is back

Subscribers at that location get a text when a flavor they follow is in the case.

  • Audience preview before send
  • One location at a time
  • Simple recovery path if you need to edit and resend

The core flow is meant to feel real, lightweight, and easy to explain to a customer at the counter. If it looks relevant for your shop, request early access and Alex will follow up when merchant pilots open.
