A small café with the back office of a much bigger business.
Accounts, rotas, stock, marketing and hiring all run through tools built around how the café works. The team runs the day from one app.
The Convene storyWe build your judgment into the business, so it runs on your standards, not your hours. You own every tool we build, so that value stays with the business when you step back.
